Global Capacity will provide an Ethernet access marketplace to customers of cloud database provider Amazon Web Services’ Direct Connect locations–a functionality for use by businesses and channel partners alike.
AWS customers can take advantage of automated platform, the One Marketplace Access Exchange, to procure private, secure Ethernet connectivity between AWS Direct Connect locations and their data centers, offices or colocation facilities.
“We are proud to join the AWS Partner Network and to support its efforts to increase network connectivity options,” said Jack Lodge, president of Global Capacity. “Through our participation in the AWS program, Global Capacity can offer its network services to those customers requiring private access to the AWS cloud. Any customer interconnected to One Marketplace can now utilize Global Capacity network services to directly connect to AWS.”
Global Capacity’s One Marketplace offers automated pricing and procurement of optimal access networks. The marketplace provides transparency into access network pricing and visibility into available capacity across multiple vendors and geographies. One Marketplace also improves pricing and delivery efficiencies by providing customers with a single interface through which to design, price and fulfill multi-vendor, multi-geography access network requirements.
As the availability of scalable and secure cloud connectivity rises, more and more companies seek the benefits of cloud services,” said Ben Edmond, chief revenue officer of Global Capacity. “Global Capacity’s partnership with AWS combines the most innovative access network solution and cloud services in the market today.”
