Network as a Service (NaaS) | Megaport Cloud Connectivity

Why Network as a Service?

Traditional cloud connectivity requires dedicated circuits, long lead times and rigid contracts. NaaS eliminates all these barriers.

Provisioning in Minutes

Activate cloud connections from the Megaport portal in minutes. No waiting weeks for a carrier to install a physical circuit.

tune

Elastic Bandwidth

Scale from 1 Mbps to 100 Gbps on demand. Adjust capacity instantly according to your needs, with no long-term commitments.

lock

Private Connection

Direct traffic through Megaport's private network. No traversal of the public Internet, resulting in lower latency and greater security.

payments

Pay-as-You-Go

No CAPEx or lock-in commitments. Pay only for the bandwidth and circuits you use, month by month.

public
