DC Alliance’s Megaport partnership: bringing you the flexibility you need
If anything, the last two years have shown how important connectivity is. When your people, data, and business assets are securely connected, everything continues working – even when there’s a global pandemic forcing everything to shut down.
Remote working arrangements have steadily become the norm. Work processes need to continue to run smoothly with everyone connected remotely just as it would with everyone under the same roof.
Even with high-speed broadband connections becoming a norm, different Internet Service Providers (ISPs) will undoubtedly provide varying levels of performance. Thus, relying on ISPs places your business at the mercy of their network thresholds.
The speed of change in technology has also been followed by an increase in security threats. Threat actors can target the ISPs themselves, overwhelming the data centre’s network responder, and preventing you from getting the support you need.
Dedicated connections run safest
It’s easy to see how you can benefit from having dedicated connections between your service and your customers’ network infrastructures. All bandwidth is available to your business, and your own security team polices the network, keeping it safe from threats.
But, running and maintaining the incredible number of switches and routers needed to consistently and quickly get your data to where it needs to go can be a real nightmare to say the least. And that’s not even taking in to account the need to be able to scale efficiently to best fit your business!
We understand. Today’s business needs are changing quickly, as are the technologies you need to drive your solutions optimally for your clients. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Megaport, one of the best Network as a Service (NaaS) platforms to help you get connected to the world’s leading Cloud platforms.
Connect globally and on-demand
Bypass the public internet, and establish safe, reliable and direct private connections across the world. The Megaport-owned and operated Internet exchange is 100% neutral. Megaport partners with over 700 enabled data centres and over 100 unique data centre operators worldwide. With this partnership, you too can now get direct connectivity to the public cloud, so full colocation services stay with us at DCA.
A partner to the world’s top Cloud service providers like AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, Megaport’s open API integrates Cloud and network service providers. It also deploys full-service automation, which means much shorter deployment times and simplified administration of multi-cloud and hybrid cloud connectivity.
Think end-to-end connections between any two points on the Megaport Network – provisioned under one minute! Simply go to the portal, specify the amount of capacity you need (1Mbps to 100 Gbps), the duration you require it for, the service provider of your choice, and you’re done. Connectivity delivered, literally in minutes.
Scale up or down easily
Because Megaport is able to offer unlimited virtual connections, there are no upgrading costs on your end. And you don’t get tied in to long contracts just to have access to a connection that truly serves your purpose. One connection or multiple. Start small and scale up as you work out your long term needs. That’s the flexibility that Megaport brings.
Even the best maintained equipment can fall foul to damage. Bush fires can destroy data centres, and undersea earthquakes can disrupt subsea cables. But in times like this, Megaport is able to maintain high availability of your data by tapping on their network of well-connected partners worldwide.

Backup routes are meticulously planned, so even if situations that could affect connectivity occur, your data traffic will be rerouted seamlessly. Through all unpredictable situations, Megaport promises to communicate whatever information arises as they obtain it, allowing you to effectively plan around the outage.
Better control and full flexibility. That’s what our partnership with Megaport brings you.
