EdgeConneX has announced its deployment of AWS Direct Connect with both 10Gbps and 100Gbps capability at its Phoenix Edge Data Center® (PHX01). As an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Partner Network (APN) member, AWS Direct Connect is also available in the company’s Portland Data Center Campus.
By layering the added flexibility of AWS Direct Connect in the EdgeConneX Phoenix data center, companies can advance their digital transformation strategies and application evolution by linking internal networks via direct point-to-point connections. This creates a secure, private cloud connection with access to both 10Gbps and 100Gbps AWS Direct Connect ports.
Phillip Marangella, Chief Marketing and Product Officer at EdgeConneX:
“EdgeConneX customers are increasingly leveraging hybrid architecture solutions to address high bandwidth workloads, such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR).
