Open Connectivity eXchange supports cloud connection using Single Tag (IEEE802.1q)

BBIX, Inc. (“BBIX”) and BBSakura Networks, Inc. (“BBSakura”), a network solutions provider and subsidiary of BBIX, now supports Single Tag (IEEE802.1q) for cloud connection to Microsoft Azure in the “Open Connectivity eXchange” (“OCX”), a cloud-based network service, on January 12, 2023.

Single Tag (IEEE802.1q) is available on the virtual interface (“Cloud Connection”) which enables customers to connect to the cloud services through OCX service. Up to now, customers were required to prepare the on-premises network equipment (CPE), which supports Double Tag (Q-in-Q), to connect to Microsoft Azure. From now on, however, CPE which only supports Single Tag (IEEE802.1q) becomes available for the connection. This update will simplify the customer’s network as packets will be delivered through Single Tag (IEEE802.1q), and allow customers to have a wider range of choice in CPEs.

BBIX will continue to strive to provide more convenient services and functions.
