CenturyLink has deployed 180 Gbps of bandwidth to support more than 85,000
devices at eight interconnected venues during the Nov. 26-30 event. Keynotes,
live streams, breakout sessions, hands-on labs, boot camps, hackathons,
workshops and certification exams will be delivered via CenturyLink Cloud
Connect solutions, a service capable of delivering real-time connections (
) between data centers and AWS cloud services. To help support the event,
CenturyLink will deploy AWS Direct Connect (
), a cloud service solution that makes it easy to establish a dedicated network
connection from an enterprise's premises to AWS.
CenturyLink executives will present at two sessions on Nov. 26. The first
session, "Milliseconds Matter: Optimize Cloud Apps with Network Control," is
led by CenturyLink's Paul Savill, senior vice president, core network and
technology solutions, and David Shacochis, vice president, product management.
It takes place at 1 p.m. in Lando 4202 (Level 4). The second session, "Dynamic
Connections: The Network You Need the Moment You Need It," features Chris
McReynolds, vice president, core network services. It takes place at 5:10 p.m.
in Pilvi Theater Expo Hall (Level 2).
"While many organizations know that direct connectivity to the cloud helps
ensure network consistency, it's not always clear how integrated combinations
of backbone, routing and orchestration can optimize cloud applications," said
Savill. "We present a number of innovative approaches to optimizing application
deployment through control of the underlying network infrastructure."
CenturyLink delivers private and secure network connectivity to AWS for global
enterprises to manage and protect their cloud-based business applications.
Capabilities in the newly launched CenturyLink Cloud Connect Dynamic
Connections (
) allow for real-time creation and deletion of private Ethernet connections to
cloud service providers. Customers can now dynamically connect across hybrid
cloud workloads on AWS. AWS GovCloud (U.S.) is also included in the
connectivity options.
In addition, CenturyLink provides a complete cloud services and cloud
management portfolio that allows customers to have low-latency access to
virtually endless AWS resources paired with dynamic, network-aware
orchestration. CenturyLink Cloud Application Manager (
) facilitates customer IT transformation by orchestrating the delivery of
infrastructure, applications and services across multiple clouds.
