AT&T partners with Amazon to extend Amazon Web Services (AWS) via AT&T NetBondSM service, providing customers a secure and on-demand connection to its cloud. According to AT&T, NetBond is able to scale their network at the same rate as their enterprise-class applications running on the AWS Cloud, dynamically adjusting the size of the pathway to the cloud.

With AT&T NetBond, customers will be able to access business applications and information that are stored in AWS, bypassing the public Internet and the security risks associated with it, said AT&T. The company claims that NetBond can improve performance by as much as 50 percent and can surpass the best experience on the Internet by as much as three times.

"When companies combine their strengths and resources to make the services easier to use, the customer wins. The addition of AWS broadens AT&T’s already expansive NetBond ecosystem and will give customers highly secure, reliable, and on-demand connections to another key public cloud service provider. This pairing of AT&T’s VPN with AWS’s leading cloud platform will likely serve as a game changer for enterprises, prompting accelerated adoption of cloud services.”

- Melanie Posey, research vice president at IDC

"Our customers want the computing power and cost-efficiency that cloud services deliver with the best security and performance. AWS’s extensive portfolio combined with AT&T NetBond offers them the best of both worlds. Our customers will have VPN performance, full cloud networking automation, and flexible and secure bandwidth when accessing AWS cloud services.”

- Jon Summers, senior vice president, AT&T Mobile & Business Solutions
