365 Data Centers and Megaport Deepen Partnership to Unlock Enhanced Connectivity Solutions
In a move set to revolutionize connectivity options for businesses, 365 Data Centers (“365”), a leading provider of network-centric colocation, cloud, and managed services, has announced a significant expansion of its partnership with Megaport, a global leader in Network-as-a-Service (NaaS). This collaboration strengthens the capabilities available to customers by introducing Points-of-Presence (PoPs) at multiple 365 Data Centers facilities across key U.S. markets.
The newly added PoPs are located in Alpharetta, GA; Aurora, CO; Boca Raton, FL; Bridgewater, NJ; Carlstadt, NJ; and Spring Garden, PA. These strategic deployments enhance the range of public cloud and connectivity solutions accessible to 365’s customer base. With this expansion, customers can now leverage flexible bandwidth and network services under a simplified pricing model—“any port at the same price.” This advancement ensures seamless access to Dedicated Internet Access (DIA), Transport services, and direct cloud connectivity to major hyperscalers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Oracle Cloud, and IBM Cloud—all directly from 365 Data Centers.
Strengthening Network-Centric Offerings
For 365 Data Centers, integrating Megaport’s advanced connectivity solutions represents a natural evolution of its network-centric strategy. The expanded partnership underscores 365’s commitment to delivering robust Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) offerings that cater to businesses of all sizes and industries. By broadening Megaport’s presence within its facilities, 365 enhances its ability to provide scalable, reliable, and high-performance connectivity solutions.
“Integrating Megaport’s advanced connectivity solutions into our data centers is a natural progression of our partnership and network-centric strategy,” said Derek Gillespie, Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) at 365 Data Centers. “Each time we expand Megaport’s footprint in our facilities, it fortifies our joint IaaS and NaaS offerings, creating greater value for our customers in major markets. Megaport’s growing presence significantly enhances the public cloud connectivity options available to our customers, empowering them to scale their operations with ease.”
This integration not only amplifies the technical capabilities of 365’s infrastructure but also aligns with its mission to deliver tailored solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern businesses. Customers can now access direct, secure, and low-latency connections to public clouds, enabling them to optimize performance and reduce costs associated with traditional networking methods.
Empowering Businesses to Connect, Scale, and Innovate
Megaport’s expanded partnership with 365 Data Centers reflects a shared vision of democratizing access to cutting-edge network solutions. By deploying PoPs in 365’s facilities, Megaport is making it easier for businesses—regardless of size or geographic location—to tap into world-class connectivity. This collaboration bridges the gap between enterprise demands and cloud-based innovation, allowing organizations to connect, scale, and innovate on their terms.
“Our expanded partnership with 365 Data Centers is all about pushing boundaries and delivering more for our customers,” said Michael Reid, CEO of Megaport. “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.”
The flexibility offered by Megaport’s NaaS platform enables businesses to adapt quickly to changing market conditions. For instance, companies can provision private, secure connections to multiple cloud providers without being locked into rigid contracts or overpaying for unused capacity. This agility is particularly valuable for enterprises navigating hybrid and multi-cloud environments, where seamless interoperability is critical.
Simplified Pricing and Enhanced Accessibility
One of the standout features of this partnership is the introduction of a simplified pricing model: “any port at the same price.” This approach eliminates complexity and ensures transparency for customers, allowing them to consume bandwidth and network services based on their specific requirements. Whether a business needs DIA, Transport services, or direct cloud connectivity, they can do so without worrying about fluctuating costs or hidden fees.
This pricing structure is designed to make premium connectivity solutions more accessible to businesses of all sizes, leveling the playing field for smaller organizations that may have previously been priced out of advanced networking options. At the same time, larger enterprises benefit from the scalability and reliability of 365 and Megaport’s combined offerings, ensuring they can meet growing demands without compromising performance.
Strategic Locations for Maximum Impact
The decision to deploy PoPs in six strategically chosen 365 Data Centers facilities underscores the partners’ commitment to serving diverse markets across the United States. These locations were selected based on their proximity to key business hubs and their ability to support regional demand for cloud and network services. For example:
- Alpharetta, GA: A gateway to the Southeast, catering to growing tech ecosystems in Atlanta and surrounding areas.
- Aurora, CO: Serving the Denver metropolitan area, a hotspot for startups and established enterprises alike.
- Boca Raton, FL: Supporting South Florida’s thriving business community, including financial services and healthcare sectors.
- Bridgewater and Carlstadt, NJ: Providing critical connectivity resources to the densely populated Northeast corridor.
- Spring Garden, PA: Offering robust infrastructure for businesses in the Mid-Atlantic region.
By expanding Megaport’s footprint in these markets, 365 Data Centers ensures that customers in these regions have access to the same high-quality connectivity solutions as those in larger metropolitan areas.
A Future-Ready Partnership
As businesses increasingly rely on cloud technologies and digital transformation initiatives, the need for reliable, scalable, and secure connectivity has never been greater. The partnership between 365 Data Centers and Megaport addresses this demand head-on, delivering innovative solutions that empower organizations to thrive in an interconnected world.
With enhanced public cloud connectivity options, simplified pricing models, and a focus on accessibility, this collaboration sets a new standard for what businesses can expect from their service providers. As both companies continue to invest in their partnership, customers can look forward to even more advancements in the months and years ahead.
Ultimately, the expanded partnership between 365 Data Centers and Megaport exemplifies how collaboration drives progress. By combining their strengths, these two industry leaders are paving the way for a future where connectivity is faster, smarter, and more inclusive than ever before.
