– $0.12 per GB for Internet-based connections– $0.02 per GB for Direct Connect
• Typical customer transfers 200,000 GB from AWS per month. • AWS Data Transfer via Internet:
– 200,000 x $0.12 = $24,000– Internet connection $ 300 (e.g. Vendor Business Internet)
– TOTAL: $24,300• AWS Data Transfer via Direct Connect (existing IP VPN customer)
– 200,000 x $0.02 $4,000– 1 Gbps IP VPN port $3,071– TOTAL: $7,071

How Customers Set Up AWS Direct Connect
Select a region
Only 2 choices: 1G or 10GIf customers want different port speeds, the text abovedirects them to “contact one of our partners for other options to connect.” - Those other options are: Hosted (NNI-based) Connection @ 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, or 500 Mbps

How Customers Set Up AWS Direct Connect
Customers select either 1G or 10G connection. This automatically generates an LOA/CFA and emails it to the customer.If customers want lower speed connections, they are directed to contact an AWS Direct Connect Partner i.e. XOWhen the connections are set up, customers move on to set up their Virtual Interfaces

How do I Order an AWS Connection?• Existing XO IP-VPN Customers:
– Just order a Port & a Cloud Connect. There is no “loop” as colo sites are on-net & the “CPE” is already there – it’s our MCR
• NOTE: You also need the customer’s AWS Account # & put it on the SOA
• 50M to 500M: – In XOG Configurator specify a port at one of the speeds
supported by AWS e.g. 100 MB Service– Specify a Cloud Connect: AWS Direct Connect Shared Port
• 1G or 10G: – In XOG Configurator specify either a 1 G Service or a 10 G
Service – Order a Cloud Connect: AWS Direct Connect Dedicated Port
» AWS will generate an LOA/CFA to the customer for this work. Customer must give the LOA/CFA to Equinix and to XO
» Customer pays XO for the cross-connect

order a line from the A Location to the Z Location (either of the shaded sites in slide 4)
• Order a Cloud Connect: AWS Direct Connect Dedicated Port
» AWS will generate an LOA/CFA to the customer for this work. Customer must give the LOA/CFA to Equinix and to XO
» Customer pays XO for the cross-connect

AWS Direct Connect: General Questions

Things to keep in mind• XO
– does not resell AWS cloud services. We just connect to them. Customers contract with AWS for their AWS services
• AWS Direct Connect– has no SLAs. XO can only provide latency etc. guarantees to
the AWS connect point• AWS has data centers in Ashburn & Seattle. This is where
XO has its NNIs to AWS– AWS dictates where customers can connect to their services
• Although, in practice, AWS is very flexible re: this• Customers can check the latest AWS documentation for
equipment and other requirements

Things to keep in mind• How much bandwidth do I need?
– This is use case dependent. Storage heavy customers will want 10G ports, while smaller enterprise workloads, like a SharePoint site, can use sub-1G
– In practice, > 80% of customers connect @ 1 Gbps• What is the latency?
– It depends. There are multiple Availability Zones (Data Centers) in an AWS region. Latency to a server in one could be higher to latency to a server in another.
– It’s still single digit latencies between Direct Connect and AWS resources.
