“Our collaboration with Megaport provides customers a unique way to deploy intelligent, high-speed network connectivity from distributed enterprise locations to the cloud,” Rahul Vaidya, Senior Product Manager with Versa Networks, said in today’s announcement. “As part of our industry-leading Versa SASE services, the integration of Versa Secure SD-WAN with Megaport Virtual Edge will further help organisations transform their network edge with secure, scalable, and reliable enterprise-wide networking increasing multicloud application performance and dramatically driving down costs.”

Optimising middle- and last-mile SD-WAN connectivity

Another driver is the rise of multicloud across industries, which we’ve seen among Megaport’s customer base. More multicloud deployments and more distributed employees mean more endpoints that need secure, reliable network connectivity, which Megaport’s Network as a Service (NaaS) provides.

Integrating Versa Secure SD-WAN with MVE, in addition to our recently announced integrations with Cisco SD-WAN and Fortinet Secure SD-WAN, will give customers of these top SD-WAN providers the ability to reduce their network dependence on the unpredictable and vulnerable public internet. SD-WAN traffic can ride Megaport’s global, private Software Defined Network (SDN) to applications in the cloud, optimising middle- and last-mile connectivity, drastically reducing egress fees, and improving network performance and reliability.

As a vendor-neutral service provider that believes in offering maximum flexibility and choice to our customers, we will continue to integrate other SD-WAN solutions with MVE. SD-WAN will also be the first of several network functions that customers will be able to host on MVE and Megaport’s global NaaS platform.

Connecting an MPLS Network to the Public Cloud

Connecting an MPLS Network to the Public Cloud

As enterprises transition from MPLS to SD-WAN networks, part of the journey, in most cases, includes a strategy to connect to the public cloud. Previously, when private MPLS networks were deployed, accessing hyperscale cloud providers may not have been top of mind. Today, this a critical factor in the deployment. However, to support the enterprise costs of deploying a large-scale MPLS network, an organisation usually has to enter into a long-term contract, keeping them locked into their existing topology. Adding multiple clouds and managing connectivity to hyperscalers on an existing MPLS platform is typically slow, costly, and complex.
