Without a 3rd party it is only possible to connect to a single region at a time. I would prefer to deal directly with Amazon. I can go through a 3rd vendor to provide flexibility to Direct Connect but they are almost a pass thru. I would prefer to connect directly to an AWS datacenter as close as possible to my on-prem datacenter and then be able to route to any region on Amazon's backend.

I've worked with many customers who start-up in AWS (Amazon makes it really easy), but quickly find as their user base grows, so does their monthly bill. Making the capital investment in your own environment to move daily, mission-critical computing workflows can substantially decrease your operations cost. The added benefit is you still get to utilize AWS' cloud for other computing functions like DevOps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
