Greenville, South Carolina – A New Era of Cloud Connectivity
In a significant move to enhance cloud connectivity in the Southeast, DartPoints has partnered with Megaport, a global leader in network as a service (NaaS). This collaboration brings Megaport’s advanced connectivity platform directly to DartPoints’ Greenville Data Center, marking Megaport’s inaugural presence in South Carolina. The partnership aims to address critical gaps in cloud access for regional businesses while also offering an expanded portfolio of services.
Enhancing Cloud Access and Reducing Costs
The partnership allows businesses in the Southeast to access an extensive network of over 975 interconnected data centers and more than 380 cloud onramps, including major cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud. These connections can be established through private virtual cross-connects (VXCs) using a single port, significantly simplifying the connection process for enterprises.
Regional businesses often struggle with rising costs and network bottlenecks due to reliance on public internet connections, which can lead to latency issues. This innovative solution reduces latency by up to 40% and decreases bandwidth expenses by an average of 25%, thus providing a cost-effective alternative to traditional internet services. Additionally, management becomes easier for enterprises through an intuitive portal and API integrations, streamlining the process of connecting to cloud services.
Strategic Benefits of the Partnership
DartPoints’ Greenville Data Center is positioned to become a strategic hub for cloud and network access in the Southeast. This partnership not only enhances DartPoints’ service capabilities but also allows regional enterprises to connect to cloud infrastructure as if it were local, further expanding their reach. The collaboration supports the rising demand for hybrid cloud services, AI processing, and multi-region deployments, catering to businesses that require agile infrastructure solutions.
As cloud technologies continue to evolve, this partnership addresses the immediate needs of businesses looking for reliable and efficient network solutions in a competitive landscape. By integrating Megaport’s software-defined network into DartPoints’ infrastructure, the partnership aims to facilitate seamless application deployment, backup, inferencing, and more robust disaster recovery options.
Future Landscape for Businesses
The collaboration between Megaport and DartPoints signifies a proactive approach to meeting growing enterprise demands for cloud resources, allowing organizations to mitigate the complexities often associated with traditional contracts and provisioning. The combination of these two innovative companies is set to transform the cloud connectivity landscape in the Southeast, ensuring that local businesses can thrive in a digital-first economy.
This development is more than just a technological upgrade; it is a critical step toward ensuring that businesses across the region can compete effectively. As organizations continue to rely on cloud solutions for their operations, partnerships like this play a vital role in shaping the future of connectivity.
