Product updates and notifications:

On product updates, experience seamless and secure interactions across your cloud environment using Convox's Rack-to-Rack Communication feature. This unique feature empowers your racks to  communicate privately, without having to route traffic over the public internet. Not only does this dramatically enhance the security of your data exchanges, but it also  leverages the powerful AWS backbone for improved performance and reliability. Additionally, there can be significant cost savings when utilizing the AWS backbone network rather than the public internet. With rack-to-rack communication, your data  remains within the AWS infrastructure, reducing latency, ensuring high-speed transmission, and enhancing your overall cloud operations. Explore the advantages of keeping your data close and your communication closer with our Rack-to-Rack Communication feature today!
