Amazon Web Services announced the general availability of AWS Cloud WAN, a new managed wide area network service that connects on-premises data centers, colocation facilities, branch offices, and cloud resources.
The offer is another way of illustrating the dependencies between hyperscale cloud computing providers and connectivity providers; the areas where channel conflict arises; the blurring of lines between value chain roles in the computing and connectivity services businesses and a potential shift in the way enterprises build and manage their global networks.
AWS Cloud WAN arguably competes with “do it yourself” enterprise networks or managed services offered by system integrators, more than being a substitute for standalone WAN services offered by public network providers.
“AWS makes it easy for customers to connect cloud and on-premises environments using AWS networking services (Amazon Virtual Private Cloud, AWS Transit Gateway, and AWS Direct Connect),” the company says. “AWS Cloud WAN makes it faster and easier for customers to build, manage, and monitor a unified global network that seamlessly connects their cloud and on-premises environments.”
