Megaport —
Software-Defined Network as a Service Across 800+ Data Centers

Megaport is positioned for enterprises and digital-native operators that need on-demand, software-defined connectivity between data centers, public clouds, and SaaS providers — without provisioning physical circuits per route. The strongest fit is multi-cloud organizations whose workloads land across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, IBM, and SaaS platforms simultaneously, and that need a single Network-as-a-Service operator to span all of them. Megaport's fabric reaches 800+ data center locations across 105+ network operators, with elastic provisioning measured in minutes through a single online portal — appropriate for organizations that operate hybrid and multi-cloud topologies indefinitely rather than treating cross-cloud connectivity as a one-time integration.

Buying Direct Connect or ExpressRoute directly means provisioning physical circuits to each hyperscaler at a specific location, with carrier-grade lead times and per-region commitments. Megaport sits between the customer and the hyperscaler — provisioning a single port into the Megaport fabric, then spinning up VXCs (Virtual Cross Connects) on demand into AWS, Azure, GCP, IBM, OCI, and others as needed. That removes the per-cloud, per-region procurement cycle and replaces it with portal-driven elasticity. Megaport ranks as a top 3 global alliance partner for direct cloud connects across AWS, Azure, GCP, IBM, OCI, Wasabi, and Rackspace — meaning the fabric integrates directly with hyperscaler peering rather than hopping through public internet.

Megaport Cloud Router (MCR) is a virtual routing instance inside the Megaport fabric — letting customers stitch together VXCs across hyperscalers and data centers without standing up dedicated physical routing equipment. Cross-Cloud Routing means traffic can move between, for example, AWS and Azure through MCR rather than egressing each cloud to the public internet — materially affecting cost, latency, and security posture for hybrid-cloud and multicloud enabled architectures. The model is built for organizations that operate AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-premises simultaneously and that need clean, private routing across all of them.

Megaport Virtual Edge runs SD-WAN edge instances and Firewall-as-a-Service inside the Megaport fabric — Cisco, Palo Alto, Fortinet, Versa, VMware/VeloCloud, Aruba, and others as virtual instances rather than physical appliances at customer sites. That means the SD-WAN overlay terminates inside the global Megaport fabric instead of on the public internet, materially affecting latency and reliability for branch-to-cloud and cloud-to-cloud traffic. MVE is the right fit for organizations whose SD-WAN strategy needs to be cloud-anchored — where the fabric, not the branch site, is the primary point of policy enforcement.

Megaport offers Dedicated Internet Access with single-IP delivery for organizations that want internet egress through the Megaport fabric — clean, deterministic routing rather than over-the-top across a third-party access provider. More commonly, Megaport works alongside existing internet access by delivering private, deterministic connectivity between data centers, hyperscalers, and SaaS providers (Cloudflare, WebEx, 8x8, RingCentral, and 300+ others on the vendor-neutral marketplace), while internet access stays with the customer's existing carrier. The fabric is purpose-built for the routes where public internet is not appropriate — hyperscaler peering, data-center interconnect, multi-cloud routing — and complements rather than displaces the public-internet path.

No. Your contract is signed directly with Megaport and Megaport's published pricing applies. Fibi's role is to scope your interconnect, multi-cloud, or NaaS objective against Megaport and the most relevant alternatives — Equinix Fabric, Console Connect (PCCW), PacketFabric, and direct hyperscaler offerings — so you see how Megaport's 800+ data center reach, 105+ operator footprint, and vendor-neutral marketplace compare. Fibi's advisory work is provider-funded, so the comparison and multi-vendor sourcing come at no additional cost to your business.
