CyrusOne Expands Its AWS Direct Connect Service

CyrusOne, has announced the availability of the AWS Direct Connect service at its Houston West data center campus, as well as through its National IX platform.

Customers will now be able to access Amazon Web Services through a private and secure network, which will not only reduce costs for them, but also deliver a more reliable network experience for their cloud workloads.

CyrusOne has been part of the AWS Partner Network Technology program, and has been providing its customers with access to Direct Connect since March 2016. Direct Access enables its users to get private network connection to access AWS services, rather than via the Internet.

This private, secure and reliable connection allows CyrusOne customers to access all AWS services, including EC2, PC, S3 and DynamoDB.

Josh Snowhorn, vice president and general manager of interconnection, CyrusOne:

“We are very excited to provide our customers at the Houston West data center private and high-performance cloud connectivity with the expansion of the AWS Direct Connect service. We strive to empower our customers to enhance their cloud-based applications. As they work to deploy hybrid IT solutions, this offering is critical in providing direct, private access from their IT infrastructure to cloud services.”

One of the largest datacenter service providers in the world, the company currently operates an impressive 40 datacenter facilities across the United States, Europe, and Asia, as it strives to provide customers with the flexibility and scale to match their IT growth needs.
