11:11 Systems Launches Managed Connectivity Solution For AWS Direct Connect

11:11 Systems (“11:11”), a managed infrastructure solutions provider, announced the availability of 11:11 Managed Connectivity for AWS Direct Connect. This new offering is available in AWS Marketplace and provides fully managed, last-mile connectivity solutions that solve bandwidth, latency and security issues for cloud customers. Managed last-mile coupled with direct connectivity to AWS Direct Connect- either through a dedicated connection or virtual overlay – allows customers to optimize network traffic to and from Amazon Web Services (AWS), safely and securely.

Connectivity issues are still a barrier for organizations that want to migrate workloads to the cloud. Creating secure connections, identifying suitable carriers and ensuring predictable performance through proper bandwidth are challenges many organizations still grapple with in designing optimal IT environments for their businesses.
