December 2012 by Marc Jacob
INTERXION HOLDING NV has announced that connectivity to AWS Direct Connect is now available from its 32 data centres across 11 countries in Europe, made possible by teaming up with Level 3 Communications and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
AWS Direct Connect allows customers to establish private connectivity between the AWS platform in the cloud and their existing dedicated IT infrastructure, which can reduce network costs, increase bandwidth throughput, and provide a more consistent network experience than Internet-based connections. This service is particularly attractive to customers that use large data sets and real time data feeds or need to satisfy regulatory requirements by using private network connections.
Through Level 3’s global network coverage and on net presence at all Interxion data centres, Interxion customers across Europe can access the AWS Direct Connect platform. They can specify their location and their preferred network service provider with their AWS Direct Connect port request.
