How is Direct Connect billed?
Direct Connect fees include Tencent Cloud billable items and non-Tencent Cloud billable items, which can be divided into the following three parts.
For more information on billing, please see Billing and Pricing.
Non-Tencent Cloud billable items:
Leased-line fee: you should purchase a leased-line from a leased-line service provider. If you have any questions, please submit a ticket for assistance.
Fiber-to-the-building fee: most Tencent Cloud Direct Connect access points are deployed in data centers of neutral IDC ISPs. You should negotiate such fee with your IDC ISP.
Note:
Generally, partners of Tencent Cloud Direct Connect have been connected to Tencent Cloud through network-to-network interface (NNI). If you decide to purchase a connection from a Tencent Cloud partner, no relevant construction will be required in Tencent Cloud, and you can deploy a hybrid cloud more quickly. For more information on Tencent Cloud Direct Connect partners, please go to the Cloud Market.
Tencent Cloud billable items:
Connection:
Resource occupation fee for the dedicated access port is billed at monthly pay-as-you-go. The billing started in July 2019. The fee incurred in the current month will be deducted from your account in the following month.
Dedicated tunnel:
If the Direct Connect access point and Direct Connect gateway are deployed in the same region, dedicated tunnels will be free of charge before May 1, 2020. After then, a free tier of 10 Gbps will be provided, and if you require higher bandwidth, please contact your Tencent Cloud rep.
Note:
If you use CCN to migrate your business to cloud services, as the dedicated tunnel and Direct Connect access point are deployed in the same region, cross-region access fee will be charged in CCN bills.
If the Direct Connect access point and Direct Connect gateway are deployed in different regions, cross-region communication fee will be charged for dedicated tunnels.
Do I need to pay immediately after submitting an application for a connection?
No. You can pay after a Direct Connect delivery engineer confirms your purchase with you.
Yes
No
