As the trusted network for AI, Lumen Technologies announced at Next 25 that it is partnering with Google Cloud to deliver advanced cloud and network solutions that meet the rising demands of enterprise customers—particularly amid the rapid growth of AI workloads across industries.

The partnership centers on three key initiatives that will deliver the scalable, secure, and high-performance connectivity enterprises need to power their AI-driven transformation:

  • Integrating Google’s new Cloud WAN with Lumen connectivity services
    This will modernize Lumen’s Network-as-a-Service offerings so Lumen-managed SD-WAN and security services can be hosted in Google Cloud regions.
  • In partnership with Google Cloud, Lumen is enabling direct 400 Gbps direct fiber connections from Google Cloud regions directly to customer locations
    This will extend Lumen’s connectivity to over 50,000 Lumen locations to Google Cloud, allowing Lumen to deliver substantial network capacity.
  • Lumen will connect its encrypted network to Google Distributed Cloud air-gapped deployments
    This initiative provides Lumen’s highly secure WAN network solutions for Google Distributed Cloud and is designed to address threats faced by large enterprises, financial services and public sectors.
