AWS Direct Connect

Run a direct line from your network into AWS

Momentum connects your sites to AWS over a private link on dedicated ports up to 400G, alongside direct paths into Azure and other clouds.

Private access to AWS

Make AWS part of your private network

Reaching AWS over the internet means sharing a route with everyone else. Direct Connect puts a private link between your network and AWS, so traffic skips the public internet. Momentum builds or sources the path from your sites, handles the AWS side as an AWS Partner, and runs it next to your other cloud connections.

  • Straight to AWS: Traffic moves from your network into AWS without crossing the public internet
  • Dedicated ports: Connections run at 1G, 10G, 100G, or 400G on a port that belongs to you alone
  • Any site, any distance: Momentum builds or sources the circuit from your location to the nearest Direct Connect site
  • Many clouds, one network: AWS runs on the same network as your Azure and other cloud connections

Why AWS traffic belongs on a private link

Performance the internet can't promise
A private link takes public routing out of the path, so latency and throughput stay consistent for replication, analytics, and hybrid applications.
Traffic that stays off the public internet
Data moves between your network and AWS on a private link, which shrinks exposure and gives auditors a cleaner path to review.
A route to AWS from any site
Your data center may sit hundreds of miles from a Direct Connect location. Momentum builds or sources the circuit between them, so distance stops deciding what connects.
How it works

Built for
Healthcare

Clinical data in the cloud still has to move like it's down the hall.

  • Imaging archives
    Large imaging studies reach AWS storage without crossing the public internet.
  • EHR and analytics
    Hospitals connect to cloud-hosted records and analytics over a private link.
  • Disaster recovery
    Replication to AWS runs on predictable bandwidth, so recovery targets stay realistic.
Why Momentum

Bring every cloud you run onto one network

Few enterprises run on a single cloud. Momentum connects AWS through Direct Connect, Azure through ExpressRoute, and other providers through Cloud Exchange, all on the same private network. Momentum builds or sources the path from each site to reach you, and one team stays accountable from your router to every cloud edge.

Momentum works with AWS directly as an AWS Partner.

AWS Direct Connect is a private network connection between your infrastructure and AWS. Traffic runs over a dedicated link into an AWS port, keeping it off the public internet and providing consistent performance to your VPCs and services.
