In 2024, an interconnected network is a must-have. Here’s how to get one and supercharge your business operations. Globally distributed networks, remote workforces, multicloud architectures – all of these setups have something important in common (besides the fact they’re the norm now). They all leverage multiples to maximize business benefits. Multiple locations, multiple endpoint types, multiple cloud providers.

Our 100G connectivity is now one of the most widely available in the NaaS market with new locations across America, Asia Pacific, and Europe. Due to a combination of technological advancements and the forced innovation brought on by COVID-19, businesses are now processing more data than ever. Analytics engines and big compute are being introduced and leveraged across diverse infrastructures. Generative AI is being incorporated wherever businesses can fit it, taking processing capacities to their limits.

Tech providers often provide valuable resources to help you optimize your network. Here are ten of our recent favorites. Cloud, network, data center, and managed service providers often go beyond just offering their services. Explore any of your providers’ websites, and you’ll often find an abundance of resources with actionable guidance that can help improve and maintain an efficient enterprise network.

Weigh up three popular ways to protect your data in transit—host level encryption (TLS/SSH), MACsec, and IPsec—to fortify your network security. Encryption in transit refers to protecting data while it moves from one place to another, in contrast to “encryption at rest” which is used to protect data where it is stored. In this blog we’ll look at a few common options for encryption in transit, and the pros and cons of each from a network perspective.

In the last two years, generative AI offerings have exploded in the cloud space (and everywhere else). Major Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) are perfectly positioned to lead these efforts thanks to the fact that they offer the very resources they require to build these models, and their customers are naturally early adopters and heavy users of AI.

The amounts of data we’re storing and moving today take up a lot of resources. Statistics vary, but we know for sure that trillions of megabytes of data are created every single day – and all this data needs somewhere to live.

With automation pervading the networking world in recent years, APIs have become standard for software and IT specialists. While the jury is out on the exact number of public APIs offered today, all estimates point to their massive (and ever-growing) popularity. Megaport is one of the many thousands of vendors that provides public API access to all our services, enabling our customers to automate and streamline their deployments.

Over the past six years at Megaport, I’ve witnessed a growing desire for change in the Financial Services (FS) industry, particularly regarding application and data mobility within organizations and with third-party partners. Initially, many in FS approached cloud adoption tentatively, waiting until it was fully matured and trusted across the industry. Today, however, the FS sector is one of the largest users of cloud services globally.
