Direct connect perks: More reliable than public Internet | #reinvent

IIX, Inc. have developed Console, a software that allows businesses to “bypass public Internet” and direct connect. This connection is more consistent, reliable and secure than public Internet.

Console is a sub-branding effort from IIX; the software “leverages the platform to get access at the click of a button,” according to Al Burgio, CEO at IIX. CTO Paul Gampe explained that the software also consolidates layers, allowing for better kick-off connections.

Burgio and Gampe sat down with John Furrier, cohost of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, at Amazon Re:invent 2015 in Las Vegas. Burgio told Furrier that Amazon is helping “enterprises wanting to directly connect” by offering “complete automation” without having to become a global network operator, as “most companies don’t focus there.” Amazon provides the ecosystem, because “if there is no ecosystem, the users log into nothing,” Burgio continued.

The Marketplace through IIX is a “non-discriminating platform” that businesses of all sizes can use. Burgio described it as “kind of like a social network program” as “business critical partners can see you.”

A changing world

Gampe commented on traditional on-premises data, saying “That world is changing.” AWS delivers massive compute power at the fraction of the cost of traditional methods. Gampe continued, “VPN is not enough,” as businesses have to have a partner with their own global network.

IIX recently launched CloudRouter Project, which is available on Amazon Marketplace for free. In addition, CloudRouter is available for download from cloudrouter.org.
