AT&T and Amazon reached a deal to extend AT&T’s MPLS-based NetBond service to AWS. The new integrated solution is expected to be available next year.
AT&T Virtual Private Network (VPN) customers can use AT&T NetBond to connect their IT infrastructure to AWS.
The companies cited the following customer benefits:
- · Simple: Seamlessly works with existing AT&T VPN through APIs, creating an automated experience. Customers don’t need to order or manage any other equipment or access lines.
- · Savings: Network elasticity that automatically flexes with the needs of the cloud service. Companies can save as much as 60 percent on networking costs.
- · Performance: Delivers as much as 50 percent lower latency and three times the availability when compared with the public Internet.
- · Security: Isolates traffic going directly to cloud platforms using the AT&T private global network, providing more protections from risks such as DDoS attacks.
