“We are delighted to join forces with AWS to provide flexible, reliable and secure network access directly into their cloud platform via the AWS Direct Connect service,” said Rick Calder, President and CEO of GTT. “As more and more companies utilize AWS for increasingly complex and mission critical applications, improved connectivity to the cloud becomes ever more important.
