[AusNOG] Hosted SBC on Megaport

[Bevan Slattery]

I¹ll move past the name calling :)

To directly answer your question I¹ll provide three (3) examples of other
providers offering customers the ability to direct connect networks as an
alternative to peering or transit.

Amazon quote 6 main reasons for Direct Connect
http://aws.amazon.com/directconnect/

- Reduces your bandwidth costs
- Consistent Network Performance
- Compatible with all your Amazon VPC
- Private Connectivty to your Amazon VPC
- Elastic
- Simple

Microsoft provides 6 main reasons for Azure ExpressRoute:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/expressroute/

- Private Connections to Azure
- Increased Reliability and Speed
- Lower Latencies
- Higher Security
- Significant Costs Benefits
- Directly Connect from your WAN

Google Cloud/Compute States about their GCI product
https://cloud.google.com/interconnect

"Connecting with GCI will enable your infrastructure to connect to Google
Cloud with higher availability and lower latency connections."

The Megaport VXC info is available here
http://www.megaport.com/services/megaport-vxcs.html

You can light up a VXC (think VLAN) from as little as 100Mbps to
10,000Mbps between ports for $20 per day or $200/month regardless of
speed.  So you want to spin up a 5,000Mbps connection to someone to backup
200TB of data - $20/day.  You have greater protection of being DDoS¹d,
interception, greater stability in latency and have guaranteed capacity.

But where it gets sexy and where the other guys are already taking it is
that they have integrated our API into their systems, so that if someone
wants to buy a service from AWS they automagically provision the silicon
at AWS and the circuit for that customer without touching a single thing.
Some hosting providers are already taking it the other way.  Transit
providers will be doing the same very soon.

If you want to actually take time to read about what we are doing, I think
you could be pleasantly surprised.

Cheers

If you're implying what I
think you're implying-- I wasn't schilling for a specific product (link
you were the other day), I was simply asking for a qualification if the
Megaport portion was actually required, as there's a heap of options
that he's ruling out by requiring it.

But hey, if we want to be fangirls for the sake of being fangirls-- go
for it.

Kind Regards,
Shane Short

Excuse my ignorance, but
what does doing this specifically over Megaport really buy you?

I'm sure there's heaps of providers that could offer you this service
over any number of methods including IX, Peering Arrangements and
Transit.

This might be an odd question.
Anyone

 out there who would offer virtualised Session Border Controller's
deliverable over Megaport.

Not knowing much 
about VoiP and SBC's... Sorry if this is a stupid question.
