Public internet just isn’t built for business-critical traffic. Lag, bottlenecks, and exposure to risk all pile up fast, costing you egress fees, stalling your operations, frustrating your users, and putting data at risk.

DQE’s Cloud Connect gives you a better path. With direct, private access to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and more, you bypass the internet entirely, saving on egress charges and avoiding the congestion, delays, and unknowns that slow you down.

What Makes DQE Reliably Different

Cloud Connect takes the uncertainty out of cloud performance with private, utility-grade connectivity.

Direct Access to the Cloud

Private onramps to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and more ensure your applications run without congestion or unpredictable slowdowns.

Low Latency, High Performance

Diversely routed dedicated fiber pathways reduce lag and deliver reliable connectivity for mission-critical workloads.

Built-In Security

Bypassing the public internet protects sensitive data and reduces exposure to outside threats.

Flexible Bandwidth

Scale capacity as business needs grow — without new hardware or long lead times.

Simplified Management

One reliable pathway connects all your cloud providers, giving IT a clear view of performance.

Local Expertise

Why DQE

Not The Biggest. Just The Most Responsive.

DQE didn’t build its network for binge watching and backyard routers. Since 1997, we’ve built critical infrastructure designed to power the systems that keep the region running. Today, that same utility-grade infrastructure delivers direct cloud connectivity with the reliability enterprises need and the visibility IT teams rely on. With real engineers based in Pittsburgh, sub-50ms rerouting, and a private fiber backbone that avoids the public internet altogether, Cloud Connect gives you a smarter, safer way to reach the apps your business runs on.
