Direct connect secures a path for Big Data and the Cloud | #reinvent
by Nelson Williams | Oct 6, 2015
For all its world-changing power, the modern Internet was never designed to do the job business now asks of it. In particular, the Internet was built on the concept of mutual trust, but trust alone is no protection when data worth millions of dollars is flowing across the wires. Data security, and providing that security at speed, is vital to digital business. Direct connect is a new way of moving data that speaks to this need.
To get a closer look at a company providing this direct connect service, John Furrier, cohost of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, spoke to Al Burgio, CEO of IIX, Inc. and Console, Inc., and Paul Gampe, CTO at IIX, Inc. and Console, Inc, during Amazon re:Invent 2015 conference.
Who guards the path?
The conversation started as Burgio pointed out that every pipeline through the Internet is owned and operated by several different companies, each holding their own part of the network. Is it wise for a company to trust the speed and security of their data to these random keepers of the Internet roads? More businesses are turning to solutions that give them control over their data and how it travels. Direct connect provides one such solution as data moves between the business and the Cloud.
The success of IIX and Console is that they deliver this direct connect as a product service directly to the customer, providing a simple, easy way to engage a direct connection to the Cloud.
A growing need for connection
During the interview, Gampe took a moment to mention how IIX/Console had grown close to Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) in recent times. AWS is a major Cloud provider, and that opened the opportunity to provide them and their customers with the direct connect service. AWS has a need for partners like IIX/Console to help bring new customers to the Amazon Cloud network.
Along with the Internet of Things (IoT), every sort of device that can go online is making the jump. All this information will need a secure connection between the device, the Cloud and businesses.
IoT is just the beginning, Burgio said, and direct connect will grow with this new technology communication model.
