AWS Site-to-Site VPN announces VPN Concentrator

AWS Site-to-Site VPN launches VPN Concentrator, a new feature that simplifies multi-site connectivity for distributed enterprises. VPN Concentrator is suitable for customers who need to connect 25+ remote sites to AWS, with each site needing low bandwidth (under 100 Mbps).

Until now, customers who needed to connect large number of low-bandwidth remote sites to AWS relied on solutions that were complex to use. These solutions create operational overhead as customers need to deploy and manage multiple virtual appliances in AWS. For example, customers are responsible for deploying appliances in multiple availability zones and network configuration to ensure high availability. AWS Site-to-Site VPN is a fully managed service that allows you to create a secure connection between your data center or branch office and your AWS resources using IP Security (IPSec) tunnels. With this launch, customers can now connect up to 100 low-bandwidth sites using a single VPN Concentrator to access their workloads in AWS. VPN Concentrator simplifies multi-site connectivity by allowing multiple remote sites to connect through a single attachment to AWS Transit Gateway, simplifying multi-site connectivity. Aggregating large number of low-bandwidth sites using a VPN Concentrator also provides efficient bandwidth utilization, and in turn, reduces VPN costs per site.

This capability is available in all AWS commercial Regions and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where AWS Site-to-Site VPN is available. To learn more and get started, visit the AWS Site-to-Site VPN documentation.
