grow at 32% CAGR.
IaaS, PaaS, SaaS
businesses are now
experiencing massive
growth led by
businesses such as
Amazon Web Services.
Megaport’s unique
technology enables fast
acquisition of
bandwidth to support a
customer’s unforeseen
or expected traffic
growth.

4. Connecting the cloud
Infrastructure is very
diverse in each market.
Services are spread into
many addresses across
each metro with few
places to reach them.
The difficulty of
interconnection is
knowing where things
are and how to get to
them with speed and
cost effectiveness.
5. Traditionally interconnections were primarily achieved by establishing separate connections between each
point or location. Customers required a separate interconnection for each location and these would have
to be ordered on long-term contracts with long lead times.
The Old Way to Interconnect
7. AWS Direct Connect with Megaport
○ Data Center Migrations into AWS
○ Directly integrated with AWS Console on the backend
○ Dynamically manage bandwidth needs for workload migration and backups
○ Hybrid Cloud architecture management
○ Immediate Direct Connect capabilities to dozens of VXCs associated with VPCs
on a single port
○ Real time provisioning within minutes of deployment; automated LOA/CFA
○ Redundancy upon redundancy – multiple ports to access AWS within a region
8. Bringing the Fabric to the Enterprise
○ Instant access to cloud, carrier, and content services from any Megaport connected data center
○ Enabling enterprises to connect multiple data centers and markets
○ Plan, manage, and deploy in real time through a fully automated software platform
10. The Fabric
Megaport is a software service
controlling a global hardware
infrastructure
It supplies elastic bandwidth for Internet
Peering and virtual connections to users
and services. These can be controlled via
an API stack, mobile app, or web portal to
enable automation and service flexibility.
11. Public vs Private
Public
● Public IP addresses required
● Private ASN permitted
● Customer must provide prefix list
● Manual approval process (24-48hr)
Private
● Private IP addressing permitted
● Private ASN permitted
● No prefix list required
● Instant deployment
12. VPC Networking
○ Virtual Gateway is center of VPC networking
○ Virtual Gateway terminates Direct Connects
and VPN connections
○ Multiple connections of each type are supported
○ Standard BGP metrics to influence traffic preference
● local_pref, AS path
13. EC2 is the building block supporting a number of AWS services
▪ RDS, Workspaces, ElastiCache, Redshift
▪ A VPC is a collection of IP subnets containing EC2 instances
▪ Two main gateway types in VPC
▪ IGW - internet access
▪ VGW - Direct Connect & VPN
▪ VGW is a virtual router that facilitates connectivity between the VPC and
customer network
▪ A VGW can terminate more than one Direct Connect for redundancy
