AWS Direct Connect announces 100G expansion in Makati City, Philippines

AWS Direct Connect Expansion in Makati City

AWS has expanded its 10 Gbps and 100 Gbps dedicated connections with MACsec encryption capabilities at the existing AWS Direct Connect location in the ePLDT data center near Makati City, Philippines. This expansion allows for private, direct network access to all public AWS Regions (except those in China), AWS GovCloud Regions, and AWS Local Zones from this location.

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.
