Megaport

Revolutionising global connectivity

Megaport Cloud Router

The MCR is a managed virtual router service that establishes Layer 3 connectivity on the worldwide Megaport software-defined network (SDN). MCR instances are preconfigured in data centers in key global routing zones. An MCR enables data transfer between multi-cloud or hybrid cloud networks, network service providers, and cloud service providers.

Make Networking Easier

  • Connect at Layer 3 in an instant. There’s no need to learn the ins and outs of network engineering. Simply log in to your Megaport account and start building your virtual network in a few clicks. Hassle-free and ready to go, MCR takes the complexity out of networking.

Support Your Multicloud

  • Multicloud is the architecture of choice for so many enterprises. With MCR, you can privately peer between leading public Cloud, IaaS and SaaS providers. Having a virtual router located close to cloud onramps means lower latency and improved performance for your critical multicloud workloads.

No Hardware Needed

  • User-Defined Routing
  • Born-in-the-Cloud
  • Managed Layer 3 Connectivity
  • Hybrid Cloud Connectivity
  • Back-Up and Redundancy
  • Cloud to Cloud
  • There’s no need to install, manage, or maintain any hardware with MCR. Having a virtualised network means you don’t need to rely on infrastructure on premises or in a data centre – it’s all virtual. This equates to saved time, resources, effort, and costs when creating your connections.

Megaport Virtual Edge

Modernize branch-to-cloud connectivity with Megaport Virtual Edge (MVE), our on-demand Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) service. Deploy SD-WAN gateways, virtual routers, and integrated transit gateways in minutes.

Go From Branch to Cloud Fast

  • Integrate MVE into your SD-WAN and improve network performance by reducing reliance on the public internet. Direct, private cloud connectivity via Megaport’s global Software Defined Network (SDN) lowers latency and reduces jitter on your mission-critical business applications.

Spin Up Edge Networking in Minutes

  • Host network functions directly on Megaport’s global, private Software Defined Network (SDN). Extend your network closer to the edge in real-time, without having to deploy the hardware.

Reduce Cloud Egress Costs

  • Connect to the major cloud providers and ride private connectivity to the cloud for middle and last-mile connectivity.

Improve Network Performance and Security

  • Reduce internet dependence by routing mission-critical traffic to Megaport’s private SDN to the major cloud providers.

Data Center Interconnect

Flexible connectivity for creating agile networks. When your business relies on the data flowing through your network, making sure the elements of that network connect together seamlessly is key. Agile connectivity creates agile networks. With Megaport, you can connect between endpoints across metros, countries, and continents.

Streamlined Setup

  • Create connections between data centres, offices, and resources in real time. Forget about complex configurations and long phone calls. Simply point, click, and provision.

Right-Sized Connections

  • Everyday workloads, bursty data, and major projects need different bandwidth speeds. Make sure they’re right-sized every time – and only pay for what you need.

On-Point Reliability

  • Always achieve low latency and high throughput. Your traffic doesn’t transit the public internet so you get private, scalable, and reliable connections every time.

Cloud Connectivity

On-demand connectivity transforming the cloud journey for businesses worldwide.

Hybrid Cloud Connectivity

  • Seamlessly connect your private infrastructure to your public or private cloud resources with a fully redundant network giving you the privacy, reliability, and control you’d expect from a high-performance hybrid cloud architecture.

Multicloud Connectivity

  • Mix and match your cloud applications by connecting to any or multiple of the world’s leading providers and accessing best-of-breed services. Connect to multiple cloud regions from a single interconnection point with greater security and privacy than traditional networking solutions.

Cloud to Cloud Connectivity

  • Use virtual routing to connect privately between clouds at Layer 3. Without needing to own or maintain physical infrastructure and equipment, you can simply and affordably build multicloud networks between regions.
