# Virtual Private Cloud > URL: https://www.atlantic.net/cloud-platform/virtual-private-cloud/ | Updated: 2026-09-16 Run cloud resources inside a 100% logically separated virtual network with managed firewall, VPN, private and BGP routing, plus the redundancy, performance, and scalability of the Atlantic.Net Cloud. - 100% Logical Isolation - Managed Firewall & VPN - Private & BGP Routing - HIPAA, PCI, SOC & NIST Network Isolation: 100% Logical Firewall Default: All Ports Closed ## Secure Virtual Private Cloud Atlantic.Net Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) enables you to have complete logical isolation on a virtual network using the Atlantic.Net Cloud. VPC is like a physical network that you would see in a data center; however, it completely resides on Atlantic.Net's Cloud services and is 100% logically separated from other VPCs in the Atlantic.Net Cloud. This allows you to have a secure and compliant network, as with a dedicated host, while adding all the features of cloud-like scalability. ## What Is Virtual Private Cloud? A virtual private cloud (VPC) is a logically isolated section of a public cloud, providing a secure and private environment for organizations to launch and manage cloud resources with enhanced control over network configuration and security. ## Atlantic.Net VPC Benefits ### Security and Compliance By logically segmenting your network from all other networks in the Atlantic.Net Cloud, Atlantic.Net VPC helps secure your environment for today's unique compliance requirements, such as HIPAA, HITECH, PCI, SOC, NIST, etc. ### Managed Atlantic.Net completely manages your VPC network and builds it to fit the model you require. Our Security Operations Center (SOC) team works extensively with you and your team to determine the proper setup for your environment while making sure it fits with your organization's compliance needs. ### In the Atlantic.Net Cloud Atlantic.Net VPC allows you to keep all the redundancy, performance, and scalability of the Atlantic.Net Cloud while adding the security to pass and exceed the compliance standards your organization must adhere to. ## Atlantic.Net VPC Features ### Firewall Restrict access to your servers with the Atlantic.Net Managed Firewall. ### VPN Securely connect to your Atlantic.Net VPC on a smartphone, computer, office, etc. via Atlantic.Net's VPN. ### Intrusion Detection Service Atlantic.Net's Intrusion Detection Service analyzes network traffic flows and blocks the malicious security threats from coming into your VPC. ### Logging Atlantic.Net captures network traffic going in and out of your VPC and integrates this into an easy-to-read report. ### Load Balance Distribute incoming traffic load across multiple Atlantic.Net servers for improved performance and redundancy. ### BGP Routing Enable Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to your VPN and route your own IP ranges to Atlantic.Net's Cloud infrastructure. ### Private Routing Connect between other cloud servers without the need for an external IP address. ### VPC to VPC Connect your VPC network across other projects or even other companies (upon request) with secure VPN tunnels. ## Use Cases We can easily customize the network configurations on your Atlantic.Net VPC. Below are some popular use cases with VPC; however, Atlantic.Net VPC is not limited to this. Please consult your Atlantic.Net sales representative to consult on all available options. ## Atlantic.Net VPC with Managed Firewall In this scenario, the Firewall NATs a public IP address to the private IP address on the server. By default, all ports on the firewall are closed. To open a port, a request needs to be made to our SOC team detailing the specific port to open. For example, you may be running a web server, and you would need to open port 443 to allow HTTPS traffic to flow through. ## Atlantic.Net VPC with VPN and NAT In this scenario, we have the same functionality as the VPC with the Atlantic.Net Managed Firewall, but with the addition of a secure virtual private network (VPN) from your network. This gives your company's system admins, developers, and other authorized personnel a secure way of accessing the environment. Atlantic.Net uses IPsec and OpenVPN to connect, and we can connect our firewall to your firewall or our firewall to your device. Public IPs still NAT to private IPs, and ports can still be opened and closed. ## Atlantic.Net VPC with VPN without NAT Like Atlantic.Net's VPC with VPN and NAT, we can create a secure tunnel from your corporate network to the Atlantic.Net cloud infrastructure. Additionally, we can completely segment off the public network to the cloud servers. This creates a complete extension of your network into the VPC. ## Atlantic.Net VPC with Load Balancing In this scenario, we have added load balancing to the VPC. With load balancing, incoming traffic can be distributed across multiple Atlantic.Net Cloud servers. This creates better performance and additional redundancy. ## Atlantic.Net VPC with Replication In this scenario, we have added replication to another site with VPC for redundancy purposes. This creates a hot copy of your server to a completely different facility. In a disaster event, we can fail everything over from one facility to the next. ## Want to build a scalable and agile cloud infrastructure? Our Virtual Private Cloud empowers your business to grow.

A public cloud places your workloads on shared multi-tenant network infrastructure. A Virtual Private Cloud carves out a logically isolated network segment that only your organization can route traffic into – same underlying cloud, but private subnets, private routing, and dedicated firewall/VPN policies. ### Which compliance frameworks does Atlantic.Net VPC support? Atlantic.Net VPC is designed to help meet the network-segmentation requirements of HIPAA, HITECH, PCI DSS, SOC 2 / SOC 3, and NIST control families. Final compliance still depends on the workloads and policies you deploy on top of the VPC; our SOC team helps architect the network so it aligns with the framework you're attesting to. ### How do I connect my office network to my VPC? Atlantic.Net builds an IPsec or OpenVPN tunnel between your office firewall and the VPC firewall (firewall-to-firewall) – or, for individual users, a client-to-firewall tunnel from a laptop or phone. Once the tunnel is up, your private subnets are reachable as if they were an extension of your corporate LAN. ### Can I bring my own IP address ranges? Yes. Atlantic.Net supports BGP routing into VPC, so customers with their own ASN and allocated IP space can advertise those prefixes to the Atlantic.Net network and route traffic into the VPC over the BGP session. ### Does VPC support multi-site disaster recovery? Yes. The "VPC with Replication" architecture replicates servers from a primary VPC to a secondary VPC in another Atlantic.Net facility. In a disaster event, traffic can be failed over to the secondary site to keep services online. ### How do I open a port on the VPC managed firewall? All VPC firewall ports are closed by default. To open a port, submit a request to the Atlantic.Net SOC team specifying the port, protocol, and source/destination scope. The SOC team applies the rule and confirms back once it is live. ## Dedicated to Your Success Jason Coleman VP of Information Technology, Orlando Magic > "After evaluating a range of managed hosting options to support our data operations, we chose Atlantic.Net because of their superior infrastructure and extensive technical knowledge."
