IBM Cloud offers networking solutions for the real world – exclusively designed to enhance your traffic, satisfy your users and protect your sanity. Use these products to optimize your move to the IBM Cloud high-performance global infrastructure.

• Content Delivery Network: Give your data storage solutions longer reach through seamless integration with our Content Delivery Network — built on IBM Cloud locations and data centers. Avoid bottlenecks and shorten the distance your data has to travel to get to your end-users with  24 geographically diverse nodes and pay-as-you-go bandwidth.
• Load Balancer: Get your very own data traffic cop to distribute all traffic loads so no single device gets overwhelmed. Choose local, global, or high availability options suited to your specific workload. Activate, change, or deactivate your load balancing features on demand—at any time.
• Appliances: Save the hassle of provisioning multiple hardware solutions to serve as routers, firewalls and load balancers. Deploy Citrix NetScaler or Vyatta Gateway Appliances, and quickly set and tweak complex network settings in an easy-to-use interface. Reduce your touchpoints quickly and easily with an all-in-one network appliance.
• Direct Link: Save on data transfers, protect your network path and move data to and from your on-premises center faster with private point-to-point connections. All traffic across Direct Link and between your servers does not touch the public network or interfere with your public network traffic.
• Domain Name Service: Let IBM handle your domain registration services, complete with dedicated support staff and customer service. Get easy-to-comprehend monthly summaries of account activity.
• Network Security:Provide your business increased control over your cloud infrastructure, while helping to protect your servers and network.
