AboveNet Teams Up with Amazon Web Services to Provide High Performance Access to Cloud Platform
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., September 21, 2011 - AboveNet, Inc. (NYSE:ABVT), a leading
provider of high bandwidth connectivity solutions, today announced it has signed
an agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to become an AWS Direct Connect
Solution Provider to help provide high performance access to the AWS cloud
platform.
"AboveNet is pleased to be one of the first AWS Direct Connect Solution
Providers," said Rajiv Datta, chief operating officer at AboveNet. "This teams
us with one of the industry's leading cloud providers to ensure that customers
have high quality, high bandwidth access as they move mission-critical
applications to the cloud."
AWS Direct Connect provides companies of all sizes with an ideal web services
platform in the cloud. Customers can requisition compute power, storage, and
other services-gaining access to a suite of elastic IT infrastructure services
to keep up with business demand. AWS customers can now bypass the Internet in
favor of the secure, advanced network connectivity that AboveNet can deliver.
AWS Direct Connect enables customers to establish connectivity between AWS and
their datacenters, offices, or colocation environments, which can reduce network
costs, increase bandwidth throughput, and provide a more consistent network
experience than Internet-based connections. As an AWS Direct Connection Solution
Provider, AboveNet can offer AWS customers the benefit of its established,
dedicated network that includes 2.3 million metro fiber miles and connections to
more than 450 datacenters.
AboveNet will initially offer connections to the AWS Direct Connect service at
100Mbps, 1Gbps and 10Gbps bandwidth levels. For more information, please visit
