Hutchison Global Communications (HGC) has extended its AWS Direct Connect cloud connectivity offering to Hong Kong.
The service will allow corporate customers worldwide to connect to AWS in Hong Kong via a high-speed Ethernet network at speeds up to 10Gbps. Connection to the AWS cloud is routed through HGC's MPLS network.
The AWS Direct Connect service covers connections between offices, data centers and business continuity facilities worldwide to AWS via sites in Singapore, Toyko, California, London, Frankfurt and now Hong Kong.
HGC uses its fiber network to equip customers with a virtual private LAN service (VPLS), and also provides network consultancy, project management and round-the-clock technical support.
“HGC runs world-class international infrastructure, as well as a comprehensive local optic-fibre network,” Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong president of international and carrier business Andrew Kwok said.
“We are pleased to be one of the first AWS Direct Connect partners to offer connectivity via the new Direct Connect location in Hong Kong.”
