This Month in Cloud: Financial Benefits of Private Cloud Interconnection

Customers choose to use AWS Direct Connect and Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, network performance, security/privacy and reduction of bandwidth costs. In the field it’s routinely observed that most customers primarily adopt a private cloud interconnection network architecture because of the performance and security advantages. However, from time-to-time, reduction of bandwidth/network costs is cited as being weighted as an important metric. Many customers understand there is a positive tradeoff between dedicated internet access (transit) costs and transport costs. However, what is not commonly understood is that the major public cloud providers such as AWS and Microsoft financially incentivize their customers to adopt private interconnection (aka Direct Connect and ExpressRoute, respectively) by reducing the Data Transfer “outbound” charges (approximately $0.09/GB to approximately $0.03/GB in North America).
