The London Internet Exchange (LINX) is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with global Network as a Service (NaaS) provider, Megaport, to improve Cloud connectivity for its members.
As part of the partnership, the LINX Cloud Connect service will be expanded, allowing seamless access to a wider range of Cloud platforms including Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud, and more.
Through this partnership, LINX members in London can now leverage Megaport’s extensive global infrastructure to connect to Cloud service providers directly from their existing multi-service port. This means one invoice, one port, and one point of contact for engineering support—streamlining operations and reducing complexity for network operators.
LINX has been providing low latency peering solutions for their 850+ global networks for over 30 years. They are witnessing an increase in demand for additional solutions and are advocates for partnership and collaboration.
“This partnership with Megaport is a significant step forward in our mission to ensure we are best serving our UK members,” said Tyrone Turner, Product Manager, LINX. “Our community now have even more choice and control when it comes to low latency peering and cloud connectivity, all through a single interface.”
Megaport are a LINX member network and ConneXions Reseller Partner, offering their customers LINX’s interconnection solutions, peering and more. So being able to mirror the cooperation, will only strengthen their partnership in the UK.
“This partnership gives LINX members a faster, simpler path to cloud,” said Emmanuel Sevray, VP of Sales, EMEA, Megaport. “By combining Megaport’s global infrastructure and broad Cloud ecosystem with LINX’s interconnection services, UK networks can connect to leading Cloud providers with less complexity, accessing the services they need, when and where they need them.”
LINX Cloud Connect is designed to simplify Cloud adoption by providing secure, high-performance, and scalable connectivity. With Megaport’s integration, LINX members gain greater flexibility and reach, empowering them to build hybrid and multi-Cloud environments with ease.
