Megaport Singapore and NTT Singapore have jointly launched a new NexConnect Cloud Service, enabling Singapore based enterprises access to elastic, on-demand connections to multicloud solutions.
NexConnect Cloud Service leverages Megaport's global Software Defined Network (SDN) to enable customers direct private connections to multiple Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) from NTT's Serangoon data center in Singapore.
Under the agreement, customers of the Serangoon data center now have access to Megaport's ecosystem of service providers, including direct connections to Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud, Google Cloud, and Alibaba Cloud.
"According to the recent IDC perspective report, alternative next generation connectivity providers, such as Megaport, can help enterprises fully realize the transformative potential of cloud and the initiative that requires cloud enablement," NTT Singapore EVP Steven Neo said.
"The Megaport NaaS capabilities will enable us to provide the greatest value to customers in the region. Through this partnership, we are empowered to effectively service key sub-verticals that we have identified within the financial service industry and other verticals with high demand for flexible direct cloud connectivity, as well as multinational corporations demanding seamless support for continuous growth in Asia.”
