TechVault is Now Offering Direct Connectivity to Leading Public Cloud Providers via Megaport

South Burlington, VT – June 29, 2020 – Tech Vault, the premier “green” data center in the Northeast, announced that it is now offering direct connectivity to leading public cloud providers via Megaport, a global leading Network as a Service (“NaaS”) provider. Tech Vault’s new service, branded Tech Vault Direct Connect, is a Megaport Connected Service that enables Tech Vault customers to easily access leading public cloud providers in a direct and on-demand fashion.

Many organizations are now taking a hybrid approach to data storage and compute functions – keeping some applications in a traditional data center environment like Tech Vault while also utilizing the public cloud for flexible backup, storage and compute functions. Our collaboration with Megaport allows these organizations to simplify their connectivity to the cloud to consume the services they need on a pay as you go basis. It is easy to scale bandwidth up or down, giving customers much more flexibility for seasonality, responding to demand-based initiatives, or as their business grows – without making any significant equipment investments.

Tech Vault’s new service offering, Tech Vault Direct Connect, establishes a dedicated network link between a customer’s corporate office and the Tech Vault data center, and connects directly to the public cloud provider of choice via Megaport’s global Software Defined Network. Customers can either keep the link simple or create segmentation using VLANs and standard 802.1q trunking to maintain logical separation between public and private cloud resources.

By utilizing Megaport’s SDN-based interconnection platform, Tech Vault customers can now combine our private cloud service offerings with a direct onramp service to leading public clouds to meet their specific business requirements. As a Megaport Connected Service, Tech Vault Direct Connect offers customers:

Choice: Direct private access to an industry-leading 171 cloud on-ramps and over on-net locations

Security and Performance: Reliable, direct, private connections that bypass the public internet

Marketplace: A global ecosystem of more than 350 service providers, including Alibaba, AWS, Google Cloud, IBM Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Nutanix, Oracle Cloud, Salesforce, and SAP

Ease-of-Use: Delivered from a self-service easy to use Portal, Megaport services can be enabled and adjusted as you require – just like the cloud resources

Optionality: Enable hybrid cloud, multi-cloud, and cloud-to-cloud architectures via point-and-click provisioning with the intelligent Megaport Cloud Router

Performance: Localize applications and terminate traffic closer to the edge where performance matters

Scalability: Elastic connectivity supports business needs and aligns to cloud consumption models

“Tech Vault chose to partner with Megaport because of its strong industry reputation and global network reach – it is the most competitive connectivity provider to the public cloud with unparalleled service and reach,” said John West, COO of Tech Vault. “As a colocation provider, network service provider, and now a direct connectivity provider, Tech Vault is the regional leader in offering redundancy and cost-effective hybrid IT solutions.
