DENVER, Oct. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/
-- CoreSite (NYSE: COR), a provider of network-dense,
cloud-enabled data center solutions and the CoreSite Mesh, today
announced the support of AWS Direct Connect sub 1G connections and
connections to AWS GovCloud (US) Services in its data center
facilities. Currently AWS Direct Connect is deployed in CoreSite's
LA1 facility at One Wilshire in Los
Angeles and NY1 facility at 32 Avenue of the Americas in
Manhattan. CoreSite will now
support extended network connectivity for customers in Silicon
Valley, Boston and Virginia. CoreSite's support of AWS Direct
Connect's sub 1G connections enables customers to establish private
network connections to AWS to reduce network costs, increase
throughput, and deliver more consistent network performance than
can be achieved over the public Internet.
CoreSite is leveraging its Open Cloud Exchange to directly
connect customers in Los Angeles
and New York, as well as extending
network connectivity to Silicon Valley, Boston and Virginia, to provide access to AWS Direct
Connect. CoreSite's Open Cloud Exchange provides an on-ramp to
cloud service providers across CoreSite's data center portfolio.
CoreSite's Open Cloud Exchange is a community of interconnected
enterprises and cloud and network service providers whose members
benefit from improved performance, added security and access to a
marketplace of buyers and sellers located in data center campuses
across the country. The Open Cloud Exchange enables customers to
leverage best-of-breed cloud providers within CoreSite data
centers, giving customers a predictable, secure and dynamic
connectivity solution. The expanded connectivity and availability
of AWS Direct Connect and the sub 1G connections is a critical
offering included in the CoreSite Open Cloud Exchange. CoreSite
will be demonstrating the Open Cloud Exchange and highlighting AWS
Direct Connect availability at the upcoming AWS re:Invent
Conference in Las Vegas,
November 12-15, 2013.
AWS Direct Connect Sub 1G Connections
CoreSite, as a member of the AWS Partner Network (APN)
supporting AWS Direct Connect, is now able to provide customers the
availability of sub 1G connections at speeds of 50M, 100M, 200M,
300M, 400M and 500M. These new AWS Direct Connect sub 1G
connections allow CoreSite customers to take advantage of the
cost-savings and performance benefits of cloud environments.
Customers gain increased control over their services with dynamic
bandwidth allocation that results in an optimized user experience
and yields lower operating costs. These sub 1G connections are
especially suited to meet the needs of small and mid-sized
businesses, helping them manage expenditures by eliminating unused
IT resources. With a simple cross-connect to AWS Direct Connect
that can be established in less than 24 hours, as opposed to weeks,
speed and flexibility are an added benefit. Customers can achieve
millisecond latency between their network and the AWS
infrastructure, resulting in improved application performance and
security.
AWS Direct Connect Access for AWS GovCloud (US)
CoreSite also announced that customers can leverage the Open
Cloud Exchange to use AWS Direct Connect to access AWS GovCloud
(US) in its data center campuses in both Los Angeles and New
York with extended connectivity from data center campuses in
Silicon Valley, Boston and
Virginia. AWS GovCloud (US)
addresses the specific security and regulatory compliance
requirements of US government agencies and their contractors to
move more sensitive workloads into the cloud, combining the
ubiquity and scale of the world's largest public cloud services
portfolio with the dedicated security and administration of private
resources. When combined with CoreSite's 99.9999% uptime, customers
gain both the security and reliability needed to effectively
create, store and transfer data while benefitting from the cloud
infrastructure provided by Amazon Web Services.
"Today's announcements build on our long term relationship with
AWS, extending CoreSite's support of AWS Direct Connect to
customers and expanding access to AWS within CoreSite to five key
markets across North America,"
said Jarrett Appleby, CoreSite COO.
"The availability of AWS Direct Connect sub 1G connections in
multiple markets enables CoreSite customers to seamlessly access
one of the world's premier cloud service providers with minimal
latency and dedicated, secure throughput for their
applications."
Bob Gill, Research Director,
Gartner Research
"Carrier neutral colocation providers are establishing
'colocation campuses,' which house not just enterprise colocated
equipment, but interconnect it with on-premise managed hosting and
cloud points of presence. Colocated enterprise compute assets can
be directly connected over in-building fiber to public cloud
providers, offering a lower cost, high speed, very low latency
connection to cloud, providing a powerful hybrid model. This model
offers the best of secure, enterprise-owned, single tenant,
computing assets with the scalability and elasticity of the public
cloud."
