GO Becomes Malta’s Only Amazon Web Services Direct Connect Partner

GO plc has become an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Direct Connect Partner, making it the only Maltese entity confirmed to hold the designation and giving local businesses a private, resilient route to the AWS cloud.

The partnership marks a further step in GO’s evolution beyond traditional telecomms into integrated ICT and digital solutions. Businesses will be able to connect their offices and data centres to AWS through dedicated private network connections, bringing together GO’s national fibre infrastructure and international connectivity with AWS cloud services, making cloud adoption simpler for businesses, while strengthening the resilience of their networks and the support behind them.

The service targets organisations increasingly reliant on cloud-based operations, from business-critical applications and large-scale data management to backup, disaster recovery and hybrid cloud environments. Customers can explore resilient network architectures using diverse connectivity routes and multiple AWS Direct Connect locations to suit their needs.

Ayrton Caruana, Chief of GO Business, said: “Becoming an AWS Direct Connect Partner is an important milestone in GO’s evolution as an ICT and digital solutions provider. We’re bringing together our local infrastructure and expertise with the capabilities of AWS, so that Maltese businesses can access global cloud services through connectivity that is secure, resilient and built around how they operate.”

This service is sustained by GO’s international network, including its connectivity to mainland Europe and its European Points of Presence (PoPs), extending GO’s capabilities well beyond Malta’s shores.

Patrick Gatt, Chief Officer, GO Wholesale, explained: “International connectivity is critical to enterprise cloud infrastructure. Our European network footprint enables us to support businesses requiring dependable access to global cloud platforms. This partnership highlights the growing importance of cloud connectivity to business competitiveness, giving Maltese organisations access to a truly global cloud ecosystem.”

GO will complement the offering with managed networking, security, cloud migration and professional support services, enabling businesses to rely on one trusted partner as they move more of their operations to the cloud.
