Really jazzed by CloudOpt, which I didn't know about. I had a multi-region architecture supporting AWS offshore development teams and HA between US-East & US-West, and this would have been a godsend. We had Windows Servers as dev workstations in Singapore and devs were based in India and Canada -- latency was actually fine to the desktop, and we used Amazon's internet connection to haul data back to US-East before hitting our data centre. This was satisfactory for most connectivity (throughput was fine) but occasionally the encapsulated routing would cause packet retry pains that traditional WAN acceleration may have helped with a bunch. But, overall, this is great work, and shows what's possible to those in the enterprise that think that Amazon is still a bookseller, and clouds are basically things in the sky you don't want on your golf days. This will only help further the progression to way less wasted cost & time in IT. (Unless you're a republican, I suppose. Or maybe especially if you're a republican, you should be studying this for 2016 and considering an alternative to hiring Very Serious IT Consultants.)
