Cloud On Demand

Adapt cloud connectivity to a migration or temporary demand.

Cloud On Demand manages eligible connections on prepared ports. It suits changing capacity or destinations; review cloud-provider authorisations too.

Not all locations, regions or capacities are available on demand.

How it works

Adapt cloud connectivity to migration or changing demand.

On Demand control

Management: configures the serviceAuthorise and connect

Eligible port
Data: traffic between endpoints
CSP connection

The portal configures the connection; user traffic flows through the service.

Prepare both sides

The portal configures connectivity on prepared ports. The cloud administrator completes authorisation and account-network association according to the CSP.

Define routing ownership and validate real traffic. Creating a connection does not deploy a virtual machine or automatically grant application permissions.

Expand the segment that limits throughput

A bulk transfer may need temporary capacity. Check port limits, the cloud connection and commercial profile before requesting a change.

Measure the improvement and plan capacity reduction after the peak. CSP quotas, charges and instance performance also matter.

Separate management and traffic

If a request remains pending, check its state before retrying. The management channel and data service can be in different states.

Recovery from path failure requires designed alternative connections and routing. On Demand enables changes; it does not replace tested redundant architecture.

Illustrative case: from situation to decision

Situation
An extra cloud backup is needed, but port readiness is still unknown.
Option
Separate a logical upgrade from new physical access; prepare the cloud side and agree capacity restoration.
Check
Confirm both endpoints, actual backup traffic and cost before closing the change.

Changes depend on eligible ports, CSP and service variant; they do not automatically resize cloud resources.

Decisions for your project

Preparation
Ports, CSP, account authorisations and region.
Scaling and billing
Limits, duration, Colt/CSP charges and approval owners.
Operations
Order state, service tests, rollback and traffic alternative.

From design to operation

Prepare a small change, verify visibility in both portals and document operation and rollback.
