The Direct Connect service enables you to establish a private, physical network connection between AWS and your data center, office, or colocation environment. These private connections can provide a more consistent network experience than those made over the public internet. The new Direct Connect locations in Calgary offer dedicated 10 Gbps and 100 Gbps connections with MACsec encryption available.
