Megaport Enables Dedicated Access to Expanded Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Region in Toronto

Expansion of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure FastConnect to Canada Provides More Customers with On-Demand Scalable and Secure Access to Cloud Offering Toronto

Megaport Limited, a Network as a Service (NaaS) provider and a Silver level member of Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN), has
announced the availability of dedicated and private access to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure FastConnect , in Toronto.

This news supports Oracle’s recent announcement of the availability of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure from its new Toronto data center. This brings the total number of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure locations enabled via Megaport to five metros across North America
and Europe and a total of 14 FastConnect locations , globally.
Megaport’s Software Defined Network (SDN) provides cost-effective, on-demand, and reliable cloud connectivity that enables enterprise customers with dedicated and private access to Oracle’s cloud infrastructure and platform services.

This allows customers to enable connections that bypass the public internet, and improve network performance and predictability, while allowing the enterprise to address and comply with data privacy and
regulatory requirements. With the launch of Oracle’s new FastConnect services in Toronto, customers have even more options for how they connect to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure from
Megaport’s global SDN which connects over 360 enabled data centres globally.

Megaport Cloud Router’s Layer 3 routing capabilities enable users to connect distributed workloads between regions quickly and move data between multi-region environments, for example Canada and USA, without the need to hairpin traffic back through physical
infrastructure. This simplifies connectivity and creates a more efficient path for better performance and scalability while enabling powerful multicloud connectivity capabilities.

Through collaboration with Megaport, Oracle customers benefit from reliable network access to their data and applications in Canada via the cloud. This means improved performance, enhanced control, flexibility, and scalability that can provide access to critical business data and functions.

“Businesses are increasingly in need of direct connectivity to their cloud applications to support the increasing volume of mission-critical data produced by next-generation technologies. Oracle
Cloud Infrastructure FastConnect is a powerful technology which, when combined with Megaport’s Software Defined Network, allows customers around the world to build optimised cloud strategies,” said Vincent English, CEO, Megaport. “Our work with Oracle enables us to bring this service to market rapidly and provides greater access to Oracle’s integrated services and support for the deployment of critical workloads in this cloud-first era.”
