Aviatrix is saving a large Amazon Web Services customer $6 million a year by replacing AWS NAT gateways with the new Aviatrix Distributed Cloud Firewall, said Aviatrix President and CEO Steve Mullaney.

The cost savings comes from the reduced cost of moving traffic through the new Aviatrix Distributed Cloud Firewall rather than through the NAT (Network Address Translation) gateway with AWS NAT service charges ringing up as network traffic flows through the gateway, said Mullaney.
