“With any enterprise cloud networking solution, resilience, redundancy and bandwidth are paramount. That’s no less the case with a show of this magnitude. Between thousands of keynotes, live streams and breakouts, connectivity to AWS services is vital to the show’s success,” says Chris McReynolds, CenturyLink’s vice president of cloud and data product management. “Accomplishing this takes more than a bunch of 10 gig waves interconnecting venues; it takes experience and understanding to see the requirements and develop a solution that meets them.”

Key Facts:

  • Design requirements for AWS re:Invent 2017 include the following elements:
    • A high-quality experience for more than 40,000 on-site attendees and more than 50,000 live-streaming viewers.
