“As one of the leading cloud markets in New York City, Brooklyn has been growing at a rapid rate over the past several years and Megaport is excited to partner with DataVerge to launch our services there,” said Michael Reid, CEO at Megaport. “This partnership will enable our customers to grow with Megaport as we continue to expand our global footprint, as well as create new opportunities for us to service Brooklyn-based businesses. We look forward to working with DataVerge and our cloud partners to meet the growing demand for cloud-based services in Brooklyn.”
Megaport joining DataVerge’s growing interconnection community will bring strong value to local businesses in Brooklyn seeking a broad range of service providers and greater access to direct cloud connectivity. This, in turn, will help these customers adopt hybrid cloud and multi cloud architectures to drive their business. Companies with global IT footprints will also be able to take advantage of Megaport’s presence in DataVerge’s Brooklyn facility to connect to public clouds and other services on demand. The ability to provision IT backbone capacity between service regions, cloud regions, and data centers in near real-time via Megaport’s private Software Defined Network will accelerate the growth of hybrid cloud and multi cloud capabilities globally, while supporting data growth and localization of mission-critical applications.
