AT&T is expanding the reach of how AWS customers can access the business cloud solutions more securely, including four specific platforms tied to connectivity, cloud, and the Internet of Things (IoT).
Flexware: AT&T FlexWare is now cloud-ready, and can directly and more securely connect to AWS. This will help businesses be more agile with edge computing, said AT&T.
Private Mobile Connect: With AT&T Private Mobile Connect, AWS customers can more securely access AWS from a mobile device. Workloads are moved from the mobile device, via the public network or through NetBond for Cloud, to AWS for all customers.
Cybersecurity: AT&T Threat Manager will allow AWS customers to proactively identify data patterns and threat activity that could affect their network and cloud environment.
Internet of Things: Earlier this year AT&T introduced a dedicated IoT Starter kit, powered by AWS. The kit lets developers build their own solutions using AT&T IoT and AWS IoT. Developers can also use AT&T’s highly secure network and get application-level security. The companies are currently exploring options to bring AWS Greengrass to the AT&T FlexWare platform, which would enable edge computing to open up new IoT opportunities for businesses.
Lastly, AT&T offers Cloud Transformation Consulting services. AT&T helps customers select cloud solutions for their business. And if they choose, AT&T even facilitates moving their data. It’s part of the company’s holistic offering to advise customers, deploy and manage their cloud connectivity.
