Who is it for?
Megaport OaaS is suitable for a wide range of service providers, including SSE and Secure Access Service Edge () providers, storage providers, and any SaaS application providers delivering services to end customers. It is also well-suited for telco providers that need to deliver SSE, SASE, storage, and other SaaS services to their customers. The following network diagram shows how service providers integrate their services into the Megaport network fabric using Megaport OaaS.Key benefits of Megaport OaaS
Megaport OaaS provides a platform for service providers to offer automated, secure, and private connectivity to cloud environments. Traditional connectivity methods often depend on expensive, fixed-capacity leased lines or expose traffic to the public internet, lacking the sophisticated automation found in hyperscaler private on-ramps. As a result, service providers’ customers are frequently pushed into manual, non-standardized connection processes. Megaport OaaS addresses this challenge by enabling service providers to deliver hyperscaler-level on-ramp automation without requiring internal development resources. The key benefits are summarized below.- Private on-ramp — Provide private, direct connectivity to cloud environments. Eliminate the need for service providers to build and maintain their own on-ramp infrastructure or dedicate resources to connection automation.
- Automated provisioning — Facilitate the rapid, automated configuration of network elements. Automatically generate VLAN, IP address assignments, and Border BGP peering details within minutes, resulting in the delays and complexity of manual coordination or service key exchange processes.
- Secure transport — Offer a secure, dedicated path for data transport that bypasses the public internet. Enable secure transport without requiring the engineering of Virtual Private Network ()/() tunnels or the capital investment in dedicated private circuits.
- Global reach – Extend network connectivity using the existing Megaport infrastructure. Allow service providers to establish connectivity in geographical regions where they lack a physical network footprint, providing a stable alternative to the public internet for global interconnection.
