Digital Realty Seoul Campus hosts new AWS Direct Connect Location

Digital Realty announced the availability of a new Amazon Web Services (AWS) Direct Connect on-ramp at its ICN10 data center in Seoul, becoming the first carrier-neutral facility to host it in the city.

Service Fabric

This enables access to AWS services via a single cross-connect and through ServiceFabric™, allowing customers to connect their private infrastructure to establish hosted connections from nearly 135 data centers globally. Digital Realty’s customers can securely connect to AWS Direct Connect via low-latency, high-bandwidth interconnects.

PlatformDIGITAL

 PlatformDIGITAL® provides the physical meeting place where AWS stakeholders can establish direct connections to AWS, to optimize hybrid IT solutions. It now hosts 17 AWS Direct Connect cloud on-ramps globally.

“The addition of AWS Seoul Direct Connect extends Digital Realty’s robust portfolio of Direct Connect locations into the rapidly growing Asia Pacific region and will drive an exponential increase to connection density of PlatformDIGITAL®. The availability of cloud on-ramps, an extensive community of local and global carriers, as well as intelligent orchestration through ServiceFabric™ will provide our customers with comprehensive options to modernize their edge-to-cloud networking architectures,” says Chris Sharp, chief technology officer of Digital Realty.

“With AWS Direct Connect, you can transfer data privately and directly from your data center, office, or colocation environment into and out of AWS. These private connections can reduce your network costs, increase bandwidth throughput, and provide a more consistent network experience than connections over the public internet,” says Emad Benjamin, general manager of AWS Direct Connect.
