«The government’s desire to think ‘cloud first’ is critical in reducing federal IT costs and AWS GovCloud should ease the transition, while maintaining the necessary security and compliance requirements demanded by the public sector,» said Anthony Robbins, vice president of Federal at Brocade, on the release of the Brocade Vyatta vRouter, a robust virtual router, firewall and VPN solution for AWS GovCloud.
This new AWS Region is designed to help U.S. government agencies and contractors move more sensitive workloads into the cloud by addressing their specific regulatory and compliance requirements.
With the introduction of the Brocade Vyatta vRouter for AWS GovCloud, federal agencies and approved affiliates can build secure, elaborate n-tier networks to better handle sensitive workloads within the cloud. Robbins noted, «The Brocade Vyatta vRouter provides the ability for network architects to replicate current data center infrastructures in the cloud, as well as simplify the provisioning of hybrid cloud environments.»
