ESG Validation

Abstract

The report highlights the benefits delivered by AWS Transit Gateway in conjunction with the Aviatrix Transit Gateway Orchestrator. We illustrate how the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Transit Gateway can help organizations to scale the interconnection of multiple Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) with one another and their on-premises networks. We also describe how the Aviatrix Transit Gateway Orchestrator enables organizations to automate the deployment and administration of a hybrid cloud architecture enabled by AWS Transit Gateway. A case study features the benefits derived from using this combined solution.
