Riverbed Technology is joining forces with Verizon Enterprise Solutions to deliver an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Direct Connect Bundle solution to support hybrid architecture deployments.
With this solution, enterprise customers can connect their branch offices and data centers to AWS environments through managed, secure and optimized network services.
This AWS Direct Connect Bundle combines Riverbed’s SteelHead WAN optimization solution, Verizon’s Secure Cloud Interconnect and Virtual Network Services solutions, and AWS Direct Connect solution into a single offering.
“Riverbed has a long history of teaming with service providers such as Verizon to provide highly-scalable networking solutions for our joint enterprise customers,” said Phil Harris, SVP and GM, Service Provider Segment Vertical and Strategy at Riverbed. “Working with cloud services providers like AWS is a natural extension of these solutions and meets the needs of today’s hybrid networking environments, allowing businesses to support their digital transformation initiatives.”
Verizon’s Virtual Network Services (VNS) and Secure Cloud Interconnect solution enable enterprise customers to leverage universal customer premises equipment (uCPE) to provide managed connectivity to their employees over a secure, efficient and high performance network. Implemented as a virtual network function (VNF) within Verizon’s VNS and Secure Cloud Interconnect environments, Riverbed’s SteelHead WAN optimization accelerates application performance in the cloud, addressing both bandwidth and latency issues, to help improve end-user experience and productivity. SteelHead accelerates access for users from virtually any location and speeds up the migration to the cloud.
