# Private Connect for Data 360

Private Connect uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) PrivateLink to establish a point-to-point network integration between your AWS virtual private cloud (VPC) and your Data 360 tenant. Private Connect provides a connection from Data 360 to your data source without exposing your network traffic to the public internet.

Private Connect for Data 360 is specifically designed to connect Data 360 to a data source. Private Connect for Data 360 is different from Salesforce Private Connect, which is used to connect a Salesforce org to a data source.

Currently, Private Connect for Data 360 supports Snowflake and Redshift through a network connection. Using Private Connect, you can use both federation and data share with Snowflake in an AWS VPC. If you're using Redshift, you can bring data into Data 360 using a federation connection. However, Private Connect for Data 360 isn't required to share data from Data 360 to Redshift.

To access a data source, you need a VPC endpoint service. Your data source vendor can provide this service for you, or you can create and manage your own endpoint service.

After your endpoint is set up, you create a Data 360 private network route. Each private network route has its own unique VPC endpoint. Data 360 manages the VPC endpoint, and your cloud provider manages the VPC endpoint service.

For Snowflake, Data 360 has a global limit of one private network route for each instance. You can use the one private network route towards a sandbox or production environment. However, you can have as many Snowflake connections as you want and you can reuse the same private network route for all of them within a single environment.

Private Connect for Data 360 allows you to connect to third-party systems. However, the implementation and management of these third-party systems aren't maintained by Salesforce.
