AWS re:Invent 2015 | (ISM211) How More Organizations Can Now Directly Connect to AWS

Although the rich capabilities of cloud services are indisputable, secure and direct connections to these services remains just out of reach for most enterprises. The challenges center around complexity, specifically the need for specialized network engineering knowledge and the manual processes required to configure access to these services. This session introduces Console, the new enterprise software and interconnection platform that enables both network-to-network and enterprise-to-enterprise collaboration globally.  Session sponsored by Console. In this session, we discuss three specific use cases: enterprise, cloud services, and the data center. We present how Console’s enterprise-grade software simply and securely connects the enterprise to mission-critical cloud services with a click of a button. Console provides automated layer 2 and layer 3 network configuration by leveraging open source technologies such as the CloudRouter Project and OpenDaylight. For the first time, enterprises can instantly obtain an Autonomous System Number (ASN) and auto-configure BGP for immediate direct interconnection. Its point-and-click interface directly connects enterprises to business-critical cloud resources like AWS.
