DALLAS, June 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T NetBond®
for Cloud users gained enhanced connectivity to more than 100
additional cloud software and service providers hosted on the AWS
platform as part of the new AWS Direct Connect (DX) Bundle.
"We are seeing more and more Business customers shifting to use
SaaS applications in the cloud—in fact, IDC expects the worldwide
SaaS market to reach $123B in 2020,"
says AT&T SVP of Advanced Solutions, Mo
Katibeh. "With NetBond for Cloud, users can bypass the
public internet to connect to cloud solutions through a highly
secure connection to a growing number of SaaS providers via AWS
Direct Connect."
"For many businesses, managing complex network deployments and
security risks is a key priority when migrating information to the
cloud," says Terry Wise, VP,
Channels and Alliances. "The capabilities we are working to provide
with AT&T help address those issues by providing additional
flexibility and control over an even greater number of AWS cloud
services."
"Brazos River Authority was very impressed with Software as a
Service (SaaS) and decided to take advantage of the agility and
cost effectiveness of the cloud, but we were concerned about
providing our end users a consistent, predictable and highly secure
connection," said David Thompson,
Chief Financial Officer, Brazos River Authority. "With NetBond for
Cloud we can connect in minutes to the AWS Cloud and our enterprise
resource management application, knowing that our network
connection is private and delivers predictable performance when we
need it, with the ability to scale on demand."
Also starting today, AWS software and solution providers can
join the AT&T NetBond for Cloud Solution Provider program. The
program gives service providers a way to attract new customers by
identifying AT&T NetBond for Cloud as a dynamic, flexible and
highly secure connectivity option when used with AWS Direct Connect
(DX) Bundles.
