AWS customers can now use Megaport to privately
and securely connect Outposts racks to AWS Direct Connect service
locations
Megaport Limited (ASX: MP1) ("Megaport"), a global leading
Network as a Service (NaaS) provider, announced today that Megaport
has earned an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Outposts Ready Partner
designation as part of the AWS Service Ready Program. AWS customers
can use Megaport’s global, private Software Defined Network to
securely connect Outposts racks to AWS Direct Connect service
locations, enabling more reliable and performant application
migrations and operations to Outposts.
The AWS Service Ready Program provides customers with AWS
Partner software solutions that have passed a technical validation
for sound architecture and have proven customer success. AWS
Outposts Ready Partners offer products that work with Outposts
deployments. These products have been tested by Outposts and follow
AWS security and architecture best practices. As part of this
program, Megaport’s solutions come confidently recommended based on
technical validation and testing performed by AWS Partner Solutions
Architects.
“We’re thrilled to be named an AWS Outposts Ready Partner,”
explained Vincent English, Chief Executive Officer of Megaport.
“Many of our customers run applications that have low-latency
requirements and must run on-premises, and using Megaport to
privately connect Outposts racks to AWS Direct Connect service
locations ensures that these applications run reliably and are
highly performant.”
Megaport and Outposts customers can enjoy the following
benefits:
- Service Ready: The AWS Service Ready designation means
the solution has been tested, validated, and proven by AWS.
- Network resilience: The Megaport solution for Outposts
rack allows a redundant architecture for the critical AWS Region
connectivity.
- More data centre choices: The Megaport solution for
Outposts rack allows the customer to choose the desired data centre
operator and location with fewer restrictions. Choose from over 100
data centre operators and 780+ locations globally.
Customers of Megaport and Outposts can use their own network
equipment, such as routers and switches, inside the data centres
where their Outposts racks are deployed; or use Megaport Cloud
Router (MCR), a virtual routing service, for dynamic BGP routing to
AWS Direct Connect. With MCR, an enterprise can reduce the amount
of hardware, space, and power required for a hybrid cloud
deployment using AWS Direct Connect and Outposts racks.
“Being able to ramp up the bandwidth whenever we need allows us
to scale our sports visualisation systems at speed and only pay for
what we need – that is the most amazing part of using Megaport to
connect to AWS,” said John Rendall, Head of Technology and
Innovation for Animation Research Ltd / Virtual Eye, a
multi-award-winning sports graphics production company.
“We are excited that Megaport is one of our first AWS Partners
to achieve an AWS Outposts Ready designation,” said Mike Davis,
Principal Outposts GTM Spec, AWS WWSO Compute. “This new validation
will make it easier for AWS Outposts customers to use resilient,
private connectivity on AWS Outposts, helping to optimise their
hybrid cloud deployments.”
