Prosimo , a leader in multicloud networking solutions, announced the launch of Cross-Cloud Service Connect , a new set of capabilities as part of its services network architecture. The feature addresses the technical limitations of hyperscaler’s PrivateLink & endpoint network by extending it to multi-region and multi-cloud. The solution works on any medium, whether public cloud backbone, digital infrastructure providers or Google cross-connect, and all act as a fundamental substrate for connecting cross-cloud services . The result: one-click simplicity for applications and endpoints to connect natively and securely across clouds.
This cloud-native solution unlocks three key use cases: distributed data access (e.g. AI/ML engine accessing data across clouds), B2B partner connectivity across clouds, and developer self-service to connect only the endpoints they are interested in.
“As businesses adopt various AI services from different clouds and access distributed data, cloud networking must scale quickly to interconnect these service endpoints in a simple and secure manner. Cloud networking solutions on the market that focus only on IP connectivity do not include service endpoints. Technologies such as service mesh have been discussed for some time; “Enterprises struggle with their proxies and sidecar agents that are not scalable or don’t work for PaaS applications,” said Mani Ganesan, vice president of product at Prosimo.
“Tools from cloud-native providers, such as PrivateLink, best solve problems in a single region of their cloud, but not across all clouds or regions. We designed Cross-Cloud Service Connect so that businesses can solve this problem at this critical point in their cloud adoption journey,” Ganesan added.

Connecting applications and service endpoints across clouds is extremely complex today
Enterprises face the challenge of connecting application and service endpoints across different clouds. For example, AI and ML engines running on a cloud need access to data from a different cloud, and business logic in a cloud requires access to a native S3 database or bucket in a different cloud. While hyperscalers offer customers innovative native networking services, enterprises still need to take intensive manual steps and bring in third-party proxy and networking stacks to enable cross-cloud connectivity. Modern service mesh offerings do not address cloud-native endpoints like PaaS applications, and the traditional networking stack that operates on the IP layer requires heavy computing and time-consuming and expensive approaches.
Prosimo Cross-Cloud Service Connect builds on its Full Stack architecture – so it’s lightweight, provides fine-grained access control to ensure compliance while being more secure and cost-effective. Additionally, Prosimo’s integration with Layer 3 connectivity fabrics such as Megaport creates interconnectivity across clouds and regions in minutes. It acts as a foundational connectivity layer, providing the fast response times needed for modern cloud infrastructure.
