Datacenter

Megaport, a global Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) provider, has expanded its Software Defined Network (SDN) services to additional Evoque data center locations. Megaport’s SDN services will soon be available in Lynnwood (Seattle), WA; San Jose, CA; and Watertown (Boston), MA. These locations join several Evoque data centers that already feature Megaport’s cloud connectivity solutions.

The inclusion of Megaport’s Software Defined Network (SDN) services into these markets provides multi-cloud connectivity and point-to-point network connectivity to all Evoque customers in these markets. Utilizing Megaport’s services within Evoque’s facilities would enable clients to create customized hybrid data solutions by connecting to multiple cloud providers on an as-needed basis.

These three new locations join several Evoque data centers that currently feature Megaport’s cloud connectivity solutions:

Allen, TX
Ashburn, VA
Irvine, CA
Lisle, IL
Lithia Springs, GA
Mesa, AZ
Piscataway, NJ
Redditch (Birmingham), United Kingdom

Our expansion to additional Evoque locations will support more businesses as they undergo their digital transformation in key markets and provide them low-latency access to the services they need while keeping their valuable IT resources local.”
