Data center and interconnection solutions provider CoreSite has announced the availability of ‘Hosted Connections’ with 1, 2, 5, or 10 Gbps of capacity for Amazon Web Services (AWS) Direct Connect. These capacities are available through CoreSite’s Open Cloud Exchange, enabling direct, private, virtual connectivity into AWS Cloud.

The availability of higher bandwidth connections would help optimize hybrid IT deployments. It offers customers the flexibility to select a connectivity option that meets their needs with the ability to scale bandwidth as needed.

CoreSite is an Advanced Technology Partner in the AWS Partner Network (APN) and has been providing CoreSite customers with AWS Direct Connect services since 2011.

CoreSite customers can privately access AWS Direct Connect through a cross-connection or through high-performance virtual connections via the CoreSite Open Cloud Exchange.

CoreSite Open Cloud Exchange 

Established in 2013, the CoreSite Open Cloud Exchange has been built to virtually unite enterprises, networks and cloud providers, including major public clouds such as AWS, Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud. Unlike using the public Internet, the CoreSite Open Cloud Exchange establishes direct, secured, virtual connections – enabling “more control, reliability, and security” for your data.

Additionally, CoreSite’s online portal would allow on-demand access for CoreSite customers to interface directly to virtual cloud environments. Through individualized portals, customers maintain control of data in real-time, providing the scalability and elasticity required for cloud application and one-to-many architecture deployments.
