Megaport Limited (ASX: MP1), the Australia-listed Network as a Service (NaaS) provider, has reached a major milestone with the launch of its 1,000th Megaport-enabled location. The expansion cements the company’s position as the world’s largest vendor-neutral NaaS connectivity platform, now present in 10% of all public data centres worldwide.
The 1,000th site, hosted by DataBank at its SAN1 facility in San Diego, marks a significant step in Megaport’s global growth strategy. The Brisbane-founded company now offers services in over 160 cities across 26 countries, connecting enterprises to all major cloud providers and hundreds of service partners.
Michael Reid, Chief Executive Officer of Megaport, described the achievement as a win for customers as much as for the company.
“Hitting 1,000 locations is a huge moment for us, but even more so for our customers,” Reid said. “This isn’t just about being everywhere – it’s about giving businesses the power to connect anything, anywhere, with more flexibility than they’ve ever had before.”
Founded in 2013, Megaport has grown from a challenger brand to a leading infrastructure player by enabling IT teams to build on-demand, secure connections between cloud services, data centres, and enterprise sites. Its platform allows businesses to scale bandwidth as needed, bypass traditional network provisioning delays, and optimise performance with low-latency connections.
The company’s growth reflects the surging global demand for agile, secure cloud connectivity. As organisations increasingly adopt hybrid and multi-cloud strategies, the ability to connect directly to cloud platforms without relying solely on the public internet has become a key competitive advantage.
DataBank, which specialises in edge data centre infrastructure, has been a long-term Megaport partner. Its SAN1 site in San Diego became the symbolic 1,000th Megaport location.
“Megaport’s presence in our data centre facilities adds significant value for our customers who need low-latency, high-availability access to cloud and network services,” said Raul Martynek, CEO of DataBank. “This milestone is a testament to the way Megaport is reshaping connectivity, and we’re proud to play a major part in it.”
Megaport’s vendor-neutral approach allows customers to interconnect between different cloud providers and service partners without being locked into a single vendor ecosystem. The model has helped it gain traction across industries including finance, media, healthcare, and technology, where network agility and security are critical.
With its latest milestone, Megaport is signalling continued ambition. The company plans to expand further into under-served markets, deepen partnerships with data centre operators, and enhance its platform capabilities to support emerging enterprise needs such as edge computing and real-time analytics.
“Reaching 1,000 locations is just the start,” Reid said. “We will continue to bring enterprise-grade interconnection to more locations, more businesses, and more clouds around the world.”
By covering one in ten public data centres globally, Megaport is positioning itself as a cornerstone in the infrastructure underpinning the modern digital economy.
