With this availability, customers will be able to access Oracle’s IaaS and PaaS platforms through Megaport’s SDN (Software Defined Network) that provides instant cloud connectivity.
According to Megaport, the need for cloud connectivity and cloud-based applications supporting a large volume of mission-critical data is on the rise. They claim that since cloud as a market is mature in Europe, this demand is pertinent to the region.
By making Oracle Cloud Infrastructure FastConnect available in London, Megaport say that they will be lubricating access to cloud applications and fast connectivity through Oracle’s IaaS and Paas platforms. They claim that customers can bypass the public internet to gain instant cloud access in order to improve network performance.
