Which service should a customer choose for a dedicated connection with minimal latency to OCI?

The optimal choice for a dedicated connection with minimal latency to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is OCI FastConnect. This service provides a direct and private connection from your on-premises environment to OCI, bypassing the public internet, which significantly reduces latency and improves the stability and quality of connectivity.

OCI FastConnect establishes a dedicated fiber connection that can handle higher bandwidth and lower latency compared to traditional internet connections. It is designed for enterprises looking to connect to OCI reliably and efficiently, enabling faster data transfer and consistent performance for applications that require low-latency access.

Other options may present varying degrees of connectivity capabilities but do not meet the standards of dedicated, low-latency connections as effectively as OCI FastConnect can. For instance, while an IPSec virtual private network can provide secure access over the internet, it still relies on public internet infrastructure, which introduces additional latency and potential variability in performance. Oracle Cloud network remote peering offers connectivity but is mainly used for connecting to other OCI regions rather than as a dedicated connection method. Using the public internet, while widely accessible, lacks the desired stability and minimal latency offered by dedicated services.
