What is AWS Direct Connect?
![]()
AWS Direct Connect is a dedicated line connection service provided by AWS that does not use the internet. It connects the AWS cloud environment to the end of a dedicated line or private network provided by a line carrier (NTT, KDDI, Softbank, etc.) at an AWS Direct Connect location
AWS Direct Connect can be used between AWS cloud environments (EC2, VPC, S3, etc.) and your company's internal system facilities via a private network connection
AWS Direct Connect Features
● Private connection
AWS Direct Connect connects your AWS cloud environment to your on-premises environment through a private network that does not traverse the internet. This allows for a stable network connection and allows for high-speed transfer of large amounts of data. You can also select the network bandwidth that meets your business needs, allowing for flexible bandwidth scaling.
● Secure Connections
We provide secure connections using encrypted networks when connecting to AWS from data centers or offices. The network is protected by AES-256 encryption and BGP authentication, making it easy to control security.
Global connectivity:
AWS Direct Connect's network is global, providing connectivity to AWS regions in many regions, allowing users to connect to AWS from on-premises environments or third-party data centers.
● Various connection options
We offer physical connection options and virtual interface options. Physical connections connect to the AWS cloud using a dedicated physical line. Virtual interface options allow you to create a virtual connection and connect multiple VPCs.
