The fundamentals of the Private Backbone offering
The Private backbone Cloud Temple is our historic connectivity offering, designed for experts. Based on a tier 2 network infrastructure (VPLS), it enables extended private networks to be created between availability zones in a region. It's the ideal solution for businesses that want to build complex hybrid cloud architectures and retain total control over their network topology, while manually managing their security equipment.
It provides a complete set of low-level services to interconnect and expose your infrastructures in a sovereign cloud. It consists of two pillars:
- Private Networks (VPLS) : The ability to create extended and isolated Layer 2 networks between availability zones, ideal for complex hybrid architectures.
- Internet access : A high-performance Internet connectivity service, including public IP address allocation (IPv4/IPv6) and native anti-DDoS protection.
Our compliance procedures
Our Private Backbone offering is HDS and ISO 27001 certified

Technical specifications
Planning a hybrid network or extending your LAN? Let's talk
Are you planning to extend your corporate network in level 2 (VPLS) between several availability zones, to set up dedicated 1 Gbps / 10 Gbps circuits or Fibre Channel or to obtain public IP addresses (IPv4 / IPv6) to expose your services? Do you want to guarantee total isolation using VLANs and trunking?
Our team of experts will work with you to define your needs and assess the suitability of the Private Backbone - Advanced Connectivity in terms of your performance, security and sovereignty requirements.

Use cases
The trusted, high-performance, sovereign cloud.
Cloud Temple is a French industrial player whose infrastructures are SecNumCloud and HDS qualified and ISO 27001 certified.
Unlike standard connectivity offerings, our Private Backbone is based on a high-performance level 2 architecture (VPLS) enabling interconnections of up to 100 Gbps. You benefit from total isolation of your flows and complete control of your network topology, all operated from France by network experts.
The choice between granular control and cloud-native automation.
The Network Connectivity (Private Backbone) offering is aimed at experts and network architects who want to build complex hybrid architectures. It provides a transparent level 2 extension (VPLS), as if your cloud servers were on your local LAN. VPC, on the other hand, is a managed and automated offering driven by APIs, where security and routing are natively integrated. Choose Network Connectivity if you need to manually manage your security equipment or extend an existing enterprise network to Layer 2.
Yes, completely transparently in level 2.
Thanks to our VPLS technology, you can create extended private networks that act as a single Ethernet LAN between your remote sites and our availability zones. We support VLAN Tagging (802.1q) and QinQ (802.1ad), enabling you to pass your own VLANs through our dedicated circuits or your operator connections (MPLS, Fibre).
Performance, resilience and cost control.
Network Connectivity turns your network into a strategic asset:
- Maximum performance: Links of up to 10 Gbps per virtual machine and a 100 Gbps backbone for your large data exchanges.
- Business continuity: Our dedicated circuits are systematically delivered over two diversified optical paths to guarantee native high availability.
- Financial transparency: Predictable pricing with no hidden costs on incoming or outgoing traffic, so you can keep your telecoms budget under control.
Yes, sharing is at the heart of our concept.
Within the same organisation, you can share private networks between different tenants. This allows you to share common services (Active Directory, update servers, monitoring tools) while maintaining strict isolation from the outside world. These shares are managed directly from your administration console.
Total sovereignty and compliance with the Data Act.
In line with our commitments and the Data Act, Cloud Temple guarantees that you are never captive. Although connectivity is an infrastructure configuration, all your network parameters and IP allocations are documented and exportable. We use open standards (VPLS, 802.1q) that make it easy to port your architecture to other environments if your needs change, with no data output costs.
