Key Takeaways:
- Megaport has added new Points-of-Presence (PoPs) at six 365 Data Centers facilities, broadening access to its Network-as-a-Service platform.
- Customers gain direct, scalable connections to major cloud providers like AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle, and IBM Cloud.
- The expanded partnership supports both companies’ Infrastructure-as-a-Service and edge computing strategies.
365 Data Centers and Megaport have expanded their strategic partnership to deliver greater access to public cloud and interconnection services across more U.S. edge markets. As part of this collaboration, Megaport has deployed new Points-of-Presence (PoPs) within six 365 Data Centers facilities—specifically in Alpharetta, GA; Aurora, CO; Boca Raton, FL; Bridgewater, NJ; Carlstadt, NJ; and Spring Garden, PA. These additions bring expanded multi-cloud and transport service capabilities directly to customers operating within these data centers.
With these new PoPs, customers of 365 Data Centers now have broader access to Megaport’s global Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform, which allows for private and direct connections to leading public cloud providers. These include Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Oracle Cloud, and IBM Cloud. Services such as Direct Internet Access (DIA), cloud connectivity, and transport are now available via any Megaport-enabled port within these locations—all with consistent pricing.
Driving Network-Centric Strategy and Infrastructure Expansion
The collaboration reflects both companies’ continued focus on delivering high-performance, scalable infrastructure at the edge. Derek Gillespie, Chief Revenue Officer at 365 Data Centers, emphasized the strategic alignment:
“Integrating Megaport’s advanced connectivity solutions into our data centers is a natural progression of our partnership and network-centric strategy. When we’ve added to Megaport’s presence in other facilities, the deployments fortify our joint Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) offerings and complement our partnership in major markets. Megaport’s growing presence with 365 significantly enhances the public cloud connectivity options available to our customers.”
This approach caters to growing demand for flexible, hybrid cloud strategies that leverage edge compute capabilities while maintaining high-speed, low-latency access to hyperscale cloud resources. With the addition of Megaport, customers can rapidly scale their network footprint across North America while simplifying management and improving reliability.
Meeting the Needs of Enterprises of All Sizes
Megaport CEO Michael Reid also highlighted the partnership’s broader impact:
“Our expanded partnership with 365 Data Centers is all about pushing boundaries and delivering more for our customers. Together, we’re making cutting-edge network solutions easier to access, no matter the size or location of the business, so customers can connect, scale, and innovate on their terms.”
For companies looking to modernize operations without the complexity of managing physical networking infrastructure, this partnership represents a growing trend: bringing global cloud capabilities closer to end-users through regional edge locations and virtualized interconnection platforms.
Positioning for Edge Market Growth
365 Data Centers operates in 20 markets across the U.S., with a focus on edge cities that are underserved by traditional hyperscale providers. The company’s carrier-neutral model and dense connectivity ecosystems allow it to offer colocation, cloud, and disaster recovery services with performance and security guarantees that meet standards such as HIPAA, PCI DSS, and SOC 2.
Megaport, meanwhile, continues expanding its global presence with over 975 enabled locations worldwide. The company’s software-defined network enables clients to build private, low-latency paths to hundreds of service providers through a centralized console.
Together, the two firms are positioning themselves to support the rising demand for agile, multi-cloud infrastructure—especially in markets where enterprises require fast connectivity but lack direct access to large cloud exchange points.
Looking Ahead
As more companies seek to balance edge performance with multi-cloud scalability, partnerships like this one provide a practical, efficient path forward. By embedding flexible, software-defined connectivity into regional colocation hubs, 365 and Megaport are helping businesses accelerate innovation while maintaining control over cost and complexity.
Whether supporting latency-sensitive workloads, hybrid applications, or compliance-heavy deployments, the expanded availability of Megaport services at 365 facilities may offer immediate value for enterprises navigating their next phase of digital transformation.
