With **Peak to Peak Direct Connect**, clients can use their own IP schema, firewalls and routing, eliminating the inherent complexities of Layer 3 networking. Additionally, clients may keep the network provider of their choosing. To read more about the features behind **Peak to Peak Direct Connect** visit Peak's [website](http://www.poweredbypeak.com/media-posts/patent-layer-2-direct-connect/). “One of the greatest barriers to cloud conversion has traditionally been the complexity of Layer 3 network migration,” states Hooker Heggestad, Senior Engineer and co-author of patent for Peak.  “With Peak you can keep the IP addresses you currently use and there is no need to re-provision firewalls, routers, or Spanning Tree Protocol \[STP\].  For large companies who may have 2000+ devices, conversions to Layer 3 could take up to a year and now with Peak’s network patent, it can take less than an hour” Peak operates Type II SSAE 16 and SOC 1 & 2 compliant cloud nodes in eight geographies across the United States and in Europe. Its VMware vCloud® Powered cloud environment contains tens of thousands of virtual machines and multiple petabytes of storage for public, private, hybrid and disaster recovery solutions.
