Introducing cross-region connections between Bare Metal Cloud instances
You can now use zenConsole to instantly interconnect your Bare Metal Cloud instances in different regions. Previously, customers had to contact us to manually connect cross-region instances, which carried a longer lead time and slower deployment. Through Zenlayer Cloud Router and our massive global private network, you can enjoy faster, more secure data transmissions between your instances around the world by keeping your traffic off public networks.
Zenlayer Bare Metal now supports dual-stack networking
As you might already know, internet protocol version 4 (IPv4) addresses are in increasingly short supply. What will your business do when you can’t secure any IPv4 addresses to expand your operations or services? The answer is internet protocol version 6 (IPv6). More accurately, it’s a dual stack network that can reach both IPv4 and IPv6 content.
Introducing Data Transfer Pricing Model for Bare Metal Cloud
We’ve traditionally offered a flat-rate pricing model that lets you commit to one bandwidth level for traffic - both to and from your bare metal instance(s). This model gives you unlimited data transfers and you’re only billed monthly for your level of bandwidth commit. While this model works for most customers, we wanted to also give you the flexibility to pay only for what you use. That’s why we developed our new data transfer pricing model. Instead of committing to one bandwidth level, you can now set the amount of total traffic you need from 5-100TB, in 1TB increments.
