[AusNOG] Transit over Megaport - who?

[Skeeve Stevens]

OK all,

The time is arriving for DC-Virtual Cross-Connects to become a useful part
of our ISP lives.

Whether it is Megaport, or other fibre providers who choose to replicate
the model, the Megaport one is what we've got at the moment, and we might
as well start using it.

I've been having a few discussions with people about buying connectivity
(not just transit) over the Megaport VxC fabric, but I am not sure if
anyone out there has productised the selling of products over the VxC
fabric.

I know people like Amazon AWS will now allow you to connect to them over
Megaport with a Direct Connect... and that is great.

What I am looking for are some transit providers who are on, or getting on
Megaport, who will sell either Transit or Wholesale services over the
fabric.

I was at an event recently, when Jason Ashton said that he was willing to
do BigAir wholesale interconnects over Megaport - and that is an awesome
start.  What I would love to see is people like AAPT, iSeek, M2 and others
be able to sell more wholesale tails over this fabric.

Transit should be an easy one. for $200 intrastate between any connected
DC's, with capacity up to the connection of your pipe (10Gb or 100Gb), I
see people selling transit as a no-brainer.

If you are doing this and want to announce it here, awesome... or if you
don't want to announce yet, but happy to let me know - I will keep it quiet
until you are ready to announce it.

Also... other IXs... Pipe, Australia IX, Equinix Peering - have you thought
of connecting to Megaport for the VxC, so people can actually use the
Megaport fabric to get onto your IX as well?
