Re: Non-MICE/perhaps dumb question

by Ben Wiechman

So your solution is to provide transport to a location closer to the AWS region, and then the customer establishes a private connection to AWS from there? Megaport may provide a similar transport concept. They have transport to many different DC in the US, and also had a cloud router product designed to allow remote routing for public cloud traffic w/o installing hardware the remote DC. I haven't looked at their solution in a long time to give a better judgement call regarding its viability for this use case, or whether it would only be useful on a customer by customer basis where each customer would need to have their own instance of the cloud switching in relevant data centers. This may also only be useful if direct connectivity would provide a benefit or if the customer has a lot of E/W traffic that could route remotely between public cloud applications.

Non-MICE/perhaps dumb question

I've been reviewing some of AWS's connectivity products, but it seems like none of them are designed to improve the AWS experience for all of an ISP's customers across AWS's various regions. The background here is that we have a business customer using a key application hosted in AWS's East Coast region. The applications' document upload performance has been less than ideal, and their external consultant is blaming their ISP - us. As you know, once traffic leaves our network and hits upstream providers, our influence on the experience is very limited. My initial thought was to explore whether we could bring AWS closer to all of our customers through some kind of direct peering or other arrangement with AWS.
