[AusNOG] Transit over Megaport - who?

Wed Oct 16 12:09:18 EST 2013

And I think the point that needs to be made clear is that Megaport is
working to completely redefine how we as an industry connect.  We have
completely focused everything on how we enable our customers and channel to
³define² their network or importantly to seamlessly extend their
platform/service/offering to others.  It¹s not just about the network.  It¹s
the ecosystem.

I¹ve almost lost my voice telling people what we aren¹t.  Megaport isn¹t
PIPE, Vocus, WAIA, Equinix etc..  Its architecture is about large scale,
near-instantaneous tuneable connectivity.

Our vision is to be the leading network interconnection provider in Asia
Pacific.  It¹s a big vision and I agree it¹s very ambitious (it¹s been on
our website since day 1! www.megaport.com )

We don¹t sell transit, voice, DSL tails etc (even DCI¹s).  We aim to do one
thing  help networks interconnect in a way that has not been seen in the
market today.

I mean companies provide compute by the hour/day/week/month why can¹t the
network?

I can¹t show you the ³inside² of the app without NDA.  It¹s 200+ screens for
each platform.  By the end of the year you will be able to turn up/turn
down/sleep or cancel services over your iPhone/portal by years end.  That¹s
assuming you¹re not using our API and doing it via your own portal.

I¹m sure some network providers will try to emulate our leadership and
vision (followers) but as they say, beware of imitationsŠ

Cheers

Dear Skeeve

ThanksŠ. I¹m sure we will see plenty more products come to market in the
following months from many providers around Australia

For anyone interested, we basically came to the conclusion to provide
unmetered bandwidth over services like Megaport where we just charge for
storage and management of virtual machines for customers which then allows
us to spin up or down virtual machines (vmware and hyper v) in an
independent location on independent hardware, as we bring all the Data back
to our Kilsyth Datacentre which is at minimum 45km from Melbourne CBD. The
entire solution is built around Veeam Backup and Recovery software.

We have had our Veeam : VMware and Hyper-V Offsite Backup service on our
website for a month or so now and its gained lots of traction, like wise our
DDoS Protection services have gained lots of traction all possible thanks to
Megaport which has created a platform to allow us to be innovative.

I know my team will keep dreaming up new products and services, I can¹t wait
to see others !

Kindest Regards

Hey James,

This is exactly the kind of innovative offerings I was hoping to see.

I LOVE the Cloud Backup concept.  I think enterprise attractive services
like your Cloud Backup, AWS and others, could attract business customers to
these kinds of fabrics, and in-turn provide them with access to a whole new
range of ISP services that could be delivered over that infrastructure.

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 it¹s 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 !

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?
