Today, AWS announced the opening of a new AWS Direct Connect location within the Digital Realty MAD3 data center near Madrid, Spain. You can now establish private, direct network access to all public AWS Regions (except those in China), AWS GovCloud Regions, and AWS Local Zones from this location. This site is the third site in Madrid and the fourth AWS Direct Connect location within Spain. This Direct Connect location offers dedicated 10 Gbps and 100 Gbps connections with MACsec encryption available.
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.
For more information on the over 146 Direct Connect locations worldwide, visit the locations section of the Direct Connect product detail pages. Or, visit our getting started page to learn more about how to purchase and deploy Direct Connect.
