[AusNOG] Transit over Megaport - who?

[James Braunegg]

Dear Skeeve

Megaport allows you to sell any type of IP services over Megaport which is why I love and fully support the concept and platform.

We already are running our DDoS protection services over Megaport plus our Cloud backup services over Megaport and IP transit over Megaport for customers.

Yes point taken it's a single point of failure so I would never suggest running everything on a single uplink or provider but it most certainly provides great flexibility and or a disaster backup solution !

Kindest Regards

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?
