Enhancing Infrastructure to Support AI Growth

Through its Private Connectivity Fabric solution, Lumen will offer dedicated infrastructure with private fiber connections between AWS Regions and Local Zones. AWS will continue to deploy its custom network technologies on this fiber to enhance security and performance between AWS locations.

This upgraded AWS network will enable enterprise customers to develop generative AI applications, train AI models, and deliver new AI-powered products across AWS’s Region and Local Zone footprint.

“AI is reshaping industries, and the network infrastructure supporting it needs to be just as dynamic and responsive,” said Kate Johnson, president and CEO of Lumen Technologies. “AWS wants their customers to thrive in the AI economy and this network expansion will help enable that. As the trusted network for AI, Lumen is using next-generation fiber to help AWS deliver high-bandwidth solutions that will allow their customers to experience and deliver AI’s full potential.”

“The next wave of innovation will be driven by generative AI, which requires a combination of secure, scalable cloud infrastructure and flexible networking,” said Matt Garman, CEO of AWS. “Together, AWS and Lumen will enable high-performance network connections that ensure customers across every industry can build and deliver compelling, secure, and reliable AI applications at scale.”
