Megaport and Outposts customers can enjoy the following benefits: Service Ready: The AWS Service Ready designation means the solution has been tested, validated, and proven by AWS. Network resilience: The Megaport solution for Outposts rack allows a redundant architecture for the critical AWS Region connectivity. More data centre choices: The Megaport solution for Outposts rack allows the customer to choose the desired data centre operator and location with fewer restrictions.

Choose from over 100 data centre operators and 780+ locations globally.
