Network Connectivity Center

Network Connectivity Center lets you treat Google’s global backbone as your own private network infrastructure. It handles the heavy lifting of connecting on-premises data centers, branch offices, and cloud resources by routing traffic through Google’s high-performance network. You deploy and scale these connections without managing physical hardware or complex WAN configurations, effectively extending your private network across regions using Google’s existing fiber and routing infrastructure.

This setup suits enterprises needing consistent, high-throughput links between distributed sites and cloud environments. The main catch is the lack of a free tier, meaning every connection incurs costs from the start under the pay-as-you-go model. While the managed nature simplifies operations, budgeting requires careful planning since there is no zero-cost entry point for testing or small-scale deployments, unlike many other networking services.
