Hybrid connectivity
AWS hybrid connectivity solutions link your on-premises and AWS cloud networks to support a wide range of hybrid architectures and use cases. AWS has the largest global network footprint of any cloud provider and an array of connection types and networking services for building hybrid networks. This gives you the tools to meet the specific needs of each application—whether you are connecting to AWS services running in the cloud, on your premises, or at the network edge.
Benefits
Reliable performance
With private connections to the AWS global network available at speeds up to 100 Gbps, and a global network built for performance, you can build hybrid networks to support applications that require high throughput and low latency.
Secure connections
AWS offers many options for protecting your data while it is in transit to AWS, including MACsec point to point encryption on 10 Gbps and 100 Gbps private connections. Once on the AWS network, your data is protected with multiple layers of encryption.
Bring AWS to where you need it
AWS hybrid connectivity solutions give you the ability to run AWS services to wherever you need to – in your on-premises datacenters, near large metro centers, at the 5G network edge, or in 25 Regions and 80 Availability Zones worldwide.
Centralized management
AWS network management tools show you the status of your on-premises and AWS networks in one central location. These tools integrate with many SD-WAN solutions, so you can more easily manage your global hybrid network.
Use cases
Data center to AWS
AWS Direct Connect establishes a private, dedicated connection between AWS and your datacenter, office, or colocation environment. Available at speeds from 50 Mbps all the way up to 100 Gbps.
Remote office to AWS
AWS Site-to-Site VPN creates secure, encrypted connections to AWS in minutes. Connect your network to AWS using IP Security (IPSec) tunnels.
Remote workforce access
AWS Client VPN securely connects your remote workforce to AWS or on-premises resources. Scale your remote access up, and down, to automatically manage spikes in demand with no need to estimate capacity beforehand.
Cloud routing and SD-WAN
AWS Transit Gateway connects your VPCs and on-premises networks through a central hub. Transit Gateway Network Manager gives you one place to manage your AWS network and work with SD-WAN devices.
Run AWS services on premises
AWS Outposts extend the AWS Region to your premises–with a consistent management, development, and security experience across both environments.
Wireless connections to 5G devices
AWS Wavelength Zones embed AWS services within communications service providers’ (CSP) datacenters at the edge of the 5G network. Network traffic from 5G devices reach application servers running in Wavelength Zones without leaving the telecommunications network to deliver ultra-low latency connections.
