For Megaport customers looking for IP Transit connectivity, the ability to burst, and use on-demand without commitment, we are now offering a new service option. This new service extension allows us to offer customers the option to add our IP Transit service to their existing Megaport services.
TARGET:
All enterprises using hybrid or virtual environments via one or more of the major hyper-scale providers.
USE CASE:
A customer needs additional capacity and is currently a Megaport end user:
- The customer is currently colocated in an Xfernet off-net facility. Megaport on net.
- The customer wants connectivity with little to no-commit, the ability to burst, and short term use.
- Xfernet uses Megaport to deliver IP Transit service to the end-user via a VXC between data centers.
- Megaport VXC is used as a last-mile means to deliver Xfernet’s network to the end-user.
- End user now has a network that they can completely control the usage of even with diverse carriers.
Problems Solved:
In the typical situation, the customer contacts a carrier in the data center and commits to a port. The administrative and provisioning process can take on average 30 days or more to be on net.
The traditional sales process is very time consuming – quoting is not streamlined and turnaround time is long for responses, capacity verifications, sales engineering, etc…
With Megaport + Xfernet, customers sign up for an Xfernet circuit and then simply go into the Megaport portal, order a virtual cross-connect to Xfernet and be on net within the same day.
