Direct, fiber-based services to cloud providers improves overall data throughput and end-user experiences, while also increasing network security by not utilizing the public Internet. As more businesses, educators, and governments adopt additional cloud applications and cloud data storage, the performance of connectivity to the cloud has become a critical component of overall network performance. At the same time, ever-increasing network security requirements make it prohibitive for organizations to connect to cloud services utilizing the public Internet.
Lightpath Cloud Connect for AWS will allow an organization to enhance and expand their use of cloud applications and data storage, which in-turn simplifies in-house IT operations and improves the end user experience. Cloud Connect for AWS offers Ethernet service options up to 10 Gbps and wavelength service options up to 100 Gbps.
