In the face of increasingly complex, far-reaching network architectures, organizations continue to adopt Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) solutions to enhance network performance, security, and agility. Megaport Virtual Edge (MVE) offers a versatile platform that integrates with leading SD-WAN vendors, enabling businesses to deploy their virtual network functions seamlessly.

The healthcare industry is in the midst of a technological overhaul, and COVID-19 isn’t (entirely) to blame. Telemedicine, AI diagnostics, and wearable devices that constantly beam patient data to doctors are no longer futuristic concepts – they’re here, and they’re reshaping how care is delivered. But beneath the buzzwords lies a fundamental truth: None of this works without a rock-solid digital backbone, like that provided by a software-defined network.

In a conversation with CTO Cameron Daniel of Megaport, Ethan Banks and Drew Conry-Murray discuss Megaport's global WAN architecture, PoPs, use cases, the Megaport Cloud Router, and more.

Get more efficient and secure AWS DGW connectivity by understanding the provider's Data Transfer Outbound requirements. As hybrid and cloud-native architectures have become commonplace, efficient and secure connectivity between on-premises data centers and the cloud is more crucial than ever. For organizations using AWS, connecting through a Direct Connect link simplifies and centralizes network connections across multiple regions thanks to its Direct Connect Gateway (DGW) component.

These two types of peering relationship may seem similar at first glance, but there are a few considerations you should make to get the most out of your connection to an IX. When you join an internet exchange, the first thing you’ll need to do after physically connecting is establish some BGP sessions in order to get traffic flowing and to start enjoying the benefits of peering at an IX.

Managing SD-WAN at scale? Multi-region setups streamline operations, cut down tunnel overload, and improve network efficiency with a structured backbone. In centralized SD-WAN solutions, managing traffic flows quickly becomes a challenge. Every change to centralized policies not only takes time but also carries the risk of errors that can impact the entire network – definitely not something to tackle on a Friday afternoon!

Developers aren't lazy – but sometimes cloud service defaults can be. Here’s what to look out for, and how Azure is changing the game. Let’s face it: Developers can sometimes be labeled as “laissez faire” when it comes to security. But is that really fair? In reality, it’s not about being lax or lazy; it’s about the default configurations of many cloud services setting the security bar too low on initial deployment.

In bridging traditional enterprise environments with modern GPU resources, we're helping organizations build AI infrastructure that's truly ready for production workloads. Co-authored by Duncan Ng, Vice President Solutions Engineering, Vultr As enterprises move from AI experimentation to production deployment, most are realizing a fundamental truth: Successful AI adoption requires more than just access to GPU computing power.

Cut your traditional NAT gateway costs by 70% or more with Megaport’s new software solution. For large businesses, Network Address Translation (NAT) is a must. But when speaking with our enterprise customers about the software side of their architecture, the complaint was always the same: The ballooning egress fees that come with moving massive amounts of data quickly become a major cost burden.

Discover the different security tools and features offered by AWS and how they can help keep your organization safe. With millions of customers in a wide range of sectors including government, healthcare, and financial services, AWS takes no chances when it comes to security.
