Where AWS Interconnect fits
Any multi-cloud estate that wants a private, low-jitter underlay — bring it to Telaron as transport, or let Telaron provision it for you.
AWS Interconnect (and the open multi-cloud-interconnect spec now adopted by GCP and OCI) is a managed private circuit between clouds — an underlay, not a control plane. It is the wire, and a good one: private, low-jitter, with a free 500 Mbps tier. Telaron is not a competitor to it — Telaron is the managed NaaS fabric that runs above it, adding identity-aware policy, dynamic BGP routing, and a single pane of control and observability across every cloud. A cheaper, free-at-entry underlay is a tailwind for us: it lowers the floor for going multi-cloud, and multi-cloud is exactly where a control plane like Telaron earns its keep. What it does not give you is control above the wire — that is the layer Telaron owns.
Any multi-cloud estate that wants a private, low-jitter underlay — bring it to Telaron as transport, or let Telaron provision it for you.
It is the wire, and a very good one: private, low-jitter capacity at a price no overlay can undercut, with a free 500 Mbps entry tier. This is a tailwind for Telaron, not a rivalry — a cheaper underlay lowers the floor for going multi-cloud.
