Network Connectivity

🚧

This documentation only applies to Customer Hosted Ascend environments. Updated documentation for Ascend Cloud customers is coming soon!

Ascend provides support for two network connectivity options that enable the cloud-based platform to connect to private/internal data sources (e.g. on-premise). All options are highly configurable, production-quality and are based on network security best practices.

Customers can also bring their own network configuration for more complex scenarios (VPC Peering, VPN tunnels, etc.).

1. Reverse SSH - an SSH-based solution that enables you to establish an outgoing SSH tunnel from your network to the Ascend cloud platform, to allow Ascend to connect to the private/internal data sources you choose.
2. SSH Gateway - an SSH-based solution that enables the Ascend cloud platform to connect to private resources through a bastion host on your network.

If you have connectivity needs that are not addressed by the options above, please contact us for assistance.
