AARNet peers with Amazon Web Services in Seattle, USA

AARNet is pleased to announce to the R & E community that it is now peering with Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Seattle, USA.  AWS offers a suite of high-performing, cost-effective and scalable on-demand cloud computing, data storage and other infrastructure services.  (Note that AWS is a completely separate business from Amazon retail services) Connectivity is high-speed at 10 Gigabits/sec across AARNet’s dedicated SCCN/SXTransPORT link to the US which also means that for AARNet Members and other Customers, traffic to and from the AWS US-WEST-2 (Oregon) Region is classified as ‘international on-net’ and so unmetered by AARNet. For more information about Amazon Web Services, go to http://aws.amazon.com/.
