These new Points of Presence (PoPs) and partnerships
significantly extend Megaport’s service reach, allowing customers
to connect to a much wider ecosystem of service providers and data
centres across Europe via a high-performance, scalable network
underlay.
Megaport has collaborated with data centre operator Portus Data
Centers to extend its reach in Germany. By deploying a new Megaport
PoP in Munich, joint customers now benefit from wider reach and
enhanced connectivity capabilities in Central Europe.
Megaport has also strengthened its partnership with NorthC Data
Centers in the Netherlands by launching a second Point of Presence
(PoP) at NorthC's data centre in Almere, located in the Amsterdam
Metropolitan Area. Megaport services have been established at
NorthC's data centre in Oude Meer for several years, making the
Almere PoP the latest addition to their expanding presence in the
Amsterdam Metropolitan Area. This expansion is part of a broader
series of joint initiatives with NorthC Data Centers to enhance
connectivity and service availability nationwide.
Additionally, Megaport has finalised its partnership with
Sipartech, a provider of high-speed connectivity solutions. With
its dense optical network in France and other European capital
cities, Sipartech supports last-mile connectivity for Megaport
customers in Western Europe.
These key partnerships and 14 total new locations now make it
even easier for joint customers to modernise their network
connectivity and connect to leading cloud service providers across
Europe.
“Expanding to so many new European locations alongside such
exceptional partners allows us to bring the network revolution
further into Europe, giving new customers the ability to
supercharge their business and build connections in less than 60
seconds,” said Michael Reid, CEO of Megaport.
“We’re thrilled to be working with Megaport in our Tier IV data
centre in Munich to expand their global reach on our
high-performance data centre infrastructure. Now, we can provide
more customers in Germany with their wide range of connectivity
solutions to drive business growth,” said Adriaan Oosthoek,
Chairman at Portus Data Centers.
“The addition of Megaport's new Point of Presence to our Almere
data centre means our clients now have greater access to a diverse
range of connectivity and cloud services, ensuring they remain at
the forefront of innovation and digital transformation,” said
Vincent Wammes, Director International Alliances and Accounts at
NorthC Data Centers.
“We are thrilled to partner with Megaport. Together, we share a
common vision: to elevate the experience of our clients through
reliable and high-performance connectivity. This partnership
enables us to deliver even more innovative and tailored
connectivity solutions to our customers in France, Spain, Italy,
and beyond,” said Julien Santina, President and Founder at
Sipartech.
Megaport's growing customer base includes leading companies like
Veolia Water, which has leveraged these new locations and partners
to improve its European operations.
“With their growing partner ecosystem, using Megaport has
enabled us to diversify our multicloud and enhance our operations
through multi-data centre access across Europe,” said Vincent
Lauriat, Chief Technology Officer and Deputy Chief Information
Officer at Veolia Water. “As a result of implementing their
reliable and resilient connectivity, we’ve seen a noticeable
increase in customer satisfaction and revenue generation. They are
a trusted partner.”
