Leveraging Megaport Services for Scalable Network Connectivity

With digital transformation occurring at a rapid pace, agility and scalability are no longer optional — they’re foundational. As enterprises and service providers re-architect their IT environments for greater speed, flexibility, and multicloud access, many are turning to Megaport services to unlock next-level connectivity.

At 1623 Farnam, we make it easier than ever for businesses to tap into Megaport’s Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform. From cloud-ready provisioning to dynamic bandwidth scaling, this powerful combination enables customers to build highly flexible, cost-effective network strategies right from our Omaha edge data center.

So what exactly are Megaport services and how can they supercharge your network? Let’s take a closer look.

What Is Megaport?

Megaport is a global leader in Network-as-a-Service (NaaS), enabling organizations to quickly and securely connect to a broad ecosystem of cloud providers, data centers, and enterprise locations. Rather than relying on traditional physical infrastructure to build network paths, Megaport uses software-defined networking (SDN) to deliver scalable, on-demand connectivity.

With Megaport, customers can:

Provision connections in minutes
Scale bandwidth up or down as needed
Connect to top public cloud platforms like AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle
Reduce complexity and improve network performance
Avoid long-term contracts and inflexible architectures

For today’s digital enterprises, it’s a flexible cloud-first approach that matches the pace of modern business.

Why 1623 Farnam + Megaport = A Smart Move

As the Midwest’s most connected edge interconnection facility, 1623 Farnam offers direct access to Megaport’s platform from the heart of Omaha. This gives our customers the ability to provision private, high-performance network connections to more than 800 enabled destinations worldwide—all from within our carrier-neutral facility.

That means whether you’re a cloud-native business, SaaS provider, enterprise or hyperscaler, you can extend your cloud strategy, optimize traffic flow and respond to changing demands with unprecedented speed and ease.

Scalable Connectivity When You Need It Most

One of the biggest advantages of leveraging Megaport services through 1623 Farnam is the ability to scale network capacity in real time.

Need to increase bandwidth during seasonal spikes or disaster recovery scenarios? Megaport allows you to dial up (or down) your connections with a few clicks—no need for hardware changes or long provisioning windows.

This kind of elasticity supports:

Workload migration between clouds
Backup and disaster recovery operations
Burst capacity during high-demand events
Application testing in multiple cloud environments
Hybrid multicloud deployments with minimal complexity

Simplified Access to Multicloud Environments

For businesses navigating the complexities of hybrid and multicloud architectures, Megaport offers a streamlined path to major cloud platforms—all without needing to provision separate physical connections to each provider.

From 1623 Farnam, you can leverage Megaport services to connect to:

Amazon Web Services (AWS) via AWS Direct Connect
Microsoft Azure via ExpressRoute
Google Cloud Platform (GCP) via Partner Interconnect
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) via FastConnect
IBM Cloud, Salesforce, Alibaba Cloud and others

These connections are private, not public internet links—ensuring improved security, performance, and reliability for your mission-critical workloads.

Pay-As-You-Go Efficiency

Legacy networks often involve long lead times, over-provisioned circuits, and rigid contracts. With Megaport, you gain flexibility without the overhead.

Because it’s a pay-as-you-go model, you’re no longer locked into expensive fixed bandwidth connections. You can deploy a 1 Gbps connection today and scale to 10 Gbps tomorrow—without the need to renegotiate or redesign your architecture.

For growing businesses, this can significantly reduce both CapEx and OpEx, while aligning infrastructure spend more closely with real-time needs.

Megaport Virtual Edge (MVE) and Beyond

For even more advanced use cases, Megaport also offers Megaport Virtual Edge (MVE), which allows businesses to deploy virtual SD-WAN and security services closer to users—without the need for physical edge devices.

At 1623 Farnam, MVE makes it possible to:

Extend secure, fast cloud access to branch locations
Deploy virtual routers and firewalls with full control
Optimize traffic routing at the network edge

MVE enables a distributed, software-driven edge without the hardware burden—ideal for enterprises embracing SASE, zero-trust architecture, or edge compute frameworks.

How 1623 Farnam Supports the Full Stack

As a top-tier edge data center, 1623 Farnam is uniquely positioned to support Megaport-enabled strategies. Our ecosystem includes:

60+ carriers, ISPs, and cloud on-ramps
