在边缘使用 AWS Direct Connect 推动新的收入增长

一家建筑供应公司和康卡斯特业务

Comcast Business 是母公司 Comcast 的一个部门，为当地企业提供互联网、以太网、语音和有线电视

Comcast Business 的企业客户之一是当地的建筑供应公司，它正在寻找一种新的 IT 解决方案来升级和现代化他们的 ERP 系统。将所有功能保留在本地需要对其现有数据中心进行全面重建，最终导致公司承担巨大的资本成本负担，并随着时间的推移不断增加开支。这个选项当然不理想，因此探索了其他替代方案。整合通过 AWS 提供的公共云解决方案是最合适的，但通过现有的公共互联网访问这些 AWS 产品和服务速度很慢，并且不满足适应新的所需架构所需的网络延迟阈值。持续的运营成本也是一个问题，因此启用可扩展且具有成本效益的解决方案将需要成为任何未来解决方案的关键部分。

Comcast 业务团队直接与建筑供应公司的 IT 资源合作，规划和执行网络连接战略，解决他们对将公共云组件整合到新的 ERP 系统架构中的所有担忧。通过使用 Comcast Business 和 EdgeConneX 提供的本地 AWS Direct Connect 解决方案直接连接到 AWS 云，这家建筑供应公司能够实现与 AWS 云一致的网络性能，将延迟减少 50% 以上，并利用使用 AWS Direct Connect 与通过公共 Internet 访问这些相同服务时数据出口费用的定价优势。

• The solution implemented by Comcast Business not only improved the end customer’s network performance and reduced latency, but it also resulted in a reduced net operating cost. This made Comcast Business the trusted advisor for network services for this customer. The availability of the AWS Direct Connect on-ramp in the EdgeConneX Edge Data Center became a key tool for driving new incremental revenue growth for Comcast Business. The solution also increased security compared to using the public internet. The customer was able to take advantage of the pricing benefits for data egress fees when using AWS Direct Connect versus accessing those same services through the public Internet. This case study demonstrates the potential of leveraging localized cloud access solutions to drive revenue growth and improve customer satisfaction.
