DALLAS, Oct. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* and
Amazon Web Services (AWS) are working together to extend AT&T
NetBondSM to AWS. Customers will have a new high
performing and highly-secure choice to connect to AWS, including
the ability to scale their network at the same rate as their
enterprise-class applications running on the AWS
Cloud.
AT&T NetBond dynamically adjusts the size of the
pathway to the cloud as data needs change and puts the control
of the highly-secure network in the hands of the customer.
Customers will also benefit from an integrated design that can be
quickly implemented.
With AT&T NetBond, customers will be able to access business
applications and information that are stored in AWS, bypassing the
public Internet and the security risks associated with it.
AT&T NetBond also improves performance by as much as 50
percent and can surpass the best experience on the Internet by as
much as three times.
"When companies combine their strengths and resources to make
the services easier to use, the customer wins," said Melanie Posey, research vice president at IDC.
"The addition of AWS broadens AT&T's already expansive NetBond
ecosystem and will give customers highly secure, reliable, and
on-demand connections to another key public cloud service provider.
This pairing of AT&T's VPN with AWS's leading cloud platform
will likely serve as a game changer for enterprises, prompting
accelerated adoption of cloud services."
Many businesses are choosing AT&T NetBond as their on-ramp
to cloud. To date, there are a wide-range of customers using the
service in industries such as health care, manufacturing, retail
and government.
"Our customers want the computing power and cost-efficiency that
cloud services deliver with the best security and performance,"
said Jon Summers, senior vice
president, AT&T Mobile & Business Solutions. "AWS's
extensive portfolio combined with AT&T NetBond offers them the
best of both worlds. Our customers will have VPN performance, full
cloud networking automation, and flexible and secure bandwidth when
accessing AWS cloud services."
AT&T NetBond offers the following customer benefits:
- Simple: Seamlessly works with existing AT&T VPN.
Customers don't need to order or manage any other equipment or
access lines.
- Security: Isolates traffic going directly to cloud
platforms using the AT&T private global network, providing more
protections from security risks such as distributed
denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
- Savings: Network elasticity provides the right amount of
bandwidth the customer needs. Companies can save as much as 60
percent on networking costs.
- Performance: Improves performance by as much as 50
percent and can surpass the best experience on the Internet by as
much as three times.
The new integrated solution is expected to be available next
year.
