Following Batelco’s introduction of AWS Direct Connect services in 2019 and SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) in 2020, the Company has created a customized solution that bundles both services.
AWS Direct Connect provides an easy way for customers to establish a dedicated private network connection between AWS and Data Centers, offices, or colocation environments, while SD-WAN is an end-to-end networking solution that seamlessly blends MPLS, Internet, LTE and 5G technologies into a single communication channel that delivers improved visibility, agility, control and cloud integration.
The new integrated solution, combining the two services to form one practical bundle, enables companies to connect their branch offices and Data Centers to AWS environments through managed, secure, and optimized network services. Customers can additionally choose their preferred network route, whether through the Internet or through Private Connection, to utilize the services.
The aim is to introduce new solutions that could potentially make sophisticated global networks easier to monitor, manage, and become more agile.
