On-demand bandwidth, when you need it. Megaport's fully automated wide area networking platform gives customers the ability to dynamically provision, modify, and tear down circuits on demand via the web, mobile apps, and API. Provisioning happens in real time and customers only pay for the bandwidth they use. AWS Direct Connect offers customers a dedicated and private way to connect to AWS. The Megaport platform is connected to AWS Direct Connect gateways around the world giving customers the ability to dynamically create AWS Direct Connect circuits to AWS when their business demands it and turn them off again when not required. This presentation discusses how customers are using Megaport to solve business problems and control costs in ways that were not available to them before. We also demonstrate how a customer can set up virtual connections to AWS and any AWS Direct Connect partner in the AWS partner ecosystem in a matter of minutes from a Megaport connected data center.

Three key themes
The Internet ecosystem is a series of addresses.
The way bandwidth services are bought and sold is outdated.
The traditional model is OK if…
Installation times of
30-120 days are
acceptable.
You don’t mind long term,
inflexible contracts.
You like paying high
installation fees for a
“short” 12 month contract.
You are ok paying for
what you don’t need.
Value for money is not
important.
There are no better
options available.
