[AusNOG] Hosted SBC on Megaport

[Skeeve Stevens]

Shane has a point.

No, Megaport isn't required at all... It could be done by Physical
X-Connect, on Equinix Cloudfront, IX Australia or other things.

BUT... The customer who needs it is on Megaport, and it is easier to ask
for Megaport as that encompasses most DC's on the East Coast.

Even if it turned out that the supplier was in the same DC and it could be
physical - why spend the capex on install for the X-Connect and locked into
a contract with a DC provider when I can do it for 1 day on Megaport, and
have it setup in 60 seconds?

To be clear... I care about the concept of Virtual Cross-Connect Fabrics -
not Megaport - they just happen to be the most developed and smoothest of
the options at present - but it doesn't mean they will always be the best
choice.. they just are today.
