Use case
Simplified data transfer over Google’s network

Network Connectivity Center enables connecting different enterprise networks together that are outside of Google Cloud by leveraging Google's network—providing enterprises instant access to planet-scale reach and high reliability. 

Traffic between non-Google networks is referred to as data transfer traffic, which can occur using existing standard cloud hybrid connectivity resources such as Cloud VPN, Dedicated, or Partner Interconnect.

Network Connectivity Center enables data transfer between on-premises / non-Google networks as above. Network Connectivity Center unlocks the ability to do data transfer over the Google Cloud Network.
Use case
SD-WAN / router appliance integration

Network Connectivity Center is the center point on Google Cloud for enterprises to attach SD-WAN solutions. SD-WAN / Router instances deployed on Google Cloud can be attached to Network Connectivity Center using the router appliance spoke.

By integrating the SD-WAN solution with Google’s network, enterprises get a simple, reliable way to consume connectivity on demand while extending the benefits of the SD-WAN to Google Cloud networks.
