It means you use Local Area Network to access the data storage in UK. (No need to access through Public Internet or Public IP)
You can use 192.168.x.x to connect to your storage (Let say NAS) in UK secured data center.
So, no one is able to see your data traffic, and your data is securely storage in UK and protected by UK data law.
My solution is just around 5k-6k HKD per month. included a last mile in HK or in China, NAS (May be Synology) and Storage location in a ISO secure data center in UK.
This is ideal for very important data like Company accounting data , tax files, secret customers data storage.
For my understanding, in HK is no data protection law to protect the sensitive data to save in a virtual device.
Everyone can disclose the private data to the public, just like 起底. And China mainland is very easy to access your private data if you save in a public cloud like Aliyun or tencent yun.
Whatever you are using a private cloud. The cloud provider is still can disclose your data to the HK police or China police under the National Law in HK.
And if you setup your own enterprise VPN router, the cost is still higher then my solution.
And you are still don't have a secure data colocation place. Your data is disclosing to the law enforcement or whatever China police.
The question is VPN, thats mean Virtual Private Network, where is your network ? is it still to a Cloud Provider?
Yes, the path is no Internet. that is a leased line. And again, why Internet?
Dark fiber or leased line is a transmission layer, that is not related with Internet things.
If you say what is Internet, Internet is network that will use public IP address in IEEE standard.
Not exactly, as we all know those backbone will use internal ip, but it still be consider as part of the internet
For a long-haul cable, it is using Wavelength technology and channel for each private signaling. That is no "IP address inside the backbone"
Sorry, backbone is no router. But a "Internet backbone" will have some routers.
I have told what is a Internet backbone, and what is a transmission circuit in this world from above.
Dark fiber is a basic submarine cable. and there will have different MUX , like DWDM / CWDM Mux. Build on this WDM, there will have Layer 2 technology. Providers can use MPLS or Ethernet technology or some old tech. Over this Layer 2 , Provider and Customer and run IP address. Public or Private.
MAC-address control is enough for a private layer 2 network, and it is just a point to point like (Between UK Data Center to end user office)
"Zero trust network" , Why people is still trust "Google" ? That info can be fake !
I don't really know there have pure private NAS/SAN storage method, but some people will choose a "cloud" storage provider.
