Data centere services provider Atlantic Metro Communications announced on Friday it has joined the Amazon Partner Network with the launch of its CloudDirect Services, a free tool designed to enable businesses to provide a private connection to Amazon Web Services.
It is beneficial for data centers to provide their business customers with a simplified way to connect to Amazon Web Services, as it offers increased levels of security, affordable rates and reduced costs for data transfer, faster connection speeds, consistent network performance, and improved application performance.
CloudDirect is an effective solution designed for customers currently using Atlantic Metro?s Ethernet or Business Internet Access services, as well as businesses looking for an independent connection to their Amazon Web Services.
Atlantic Metro?s CloudDirect services enable customers using AWS to establish secure and reliable connectivity from any of its data centers, network POPs, and locations with Metro Ethernet connectivity.
Businesses previously sending data over the public Internet will now have the ability to directly connect to their Amazon Web Services via a private network connection.?Businesses can access AWS via standard Ethernet over copper or fiber at speeds ranging from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps.
CloudDirect is available as a virtual or dedicated LAN link, with both options designed to reduce change to existing connectivity.
Under CloudDIrect pricing, customers are directly billed for network transfer usage via their existing AWS account at a significantly discounted rate of $0.03 per GB.
?Atlantic Metro is very excited to join the Amazon Partner Network and introduce our CloudDirect services to offer businesses an easy and affordable means to securely access their Cloud,? said Stephen Klenert, chief strategy officer of Atlantic Metro. ?Customers in our data center facilities and utilizing Atlantic Metro?s Metro Ethernet service can now leverage Amazon Web Services as if it were part of their own infrastructure. The ability to access the Amazon Cloud via a secure and private connection opens up a wide range of exciting new possibilities and cloud computing solutions.?
