YORK, June 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --
Lightpath, an all-fiber, infrastructure-based connectivity
provider that is revolutionizing how organizations connect to their
digital destinations, officially announced today the launch of
Cloud Connect for AWS consisting of multiple service options for
direct connectivity to Amazon Web Services through Amazon's Direct
Connect locations in in Secaucus
NJ, Boston MA, Ashburn VA, and soon in Miami FL. The services provide customers with
direct, secure, all-fiber connectivity to AWS with bandwidth
options up to 100 Gbps.
Lightpath launches Cloud Connect for AWS
with service options for direct connectivity to Amazon Web
Services.
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.
"Lightpath Cloud Connect customers can achieve optimal
performance of cloud applications while opening up the opportunity
to expand the use of cloud applications, all with enhanced network
security," explained Phil Olivero,
CTO for Lightpath. "Whether your organization is cloud-centric or
utilizes a hybrid-cloud strategy, fiber to the cloud accelerates
all cloud-enabled strategies while also improving the end user
experience."
Lightpath, in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), is
offering a complete cloud management portfolio that will give
customers fast, flexible access to the cloud, in addition to:
- Reduction of networking costs with low data transfer rates out
of AWS
- Multiple encryption options for securing your data
