Product Information on Cloud connectivity

Updated 13th October 2025

What is Cloud connectivity?

Cloud Connectivity software from Megaport is designed to enable organizations to establish secure and scalable connections between their on-premises infrastructure, data centers, and cloud service providers. The software facilitates network integration by providing on-demand bandwidth and virtual routing for hybrid and multi-cloud architectures. It helps streamline cloud adoption by automating network provisioning and reducing latency in data transfer. The software supports multiple cloud providers and allows users to manage network connections through a centralized platform, aiming to address challenges related to interoperability, network performance, and flexible scaling in complex cloud environments.

Cloud connectivity Pricing

Cloud connectivity software is priced based on factors such as the type of service required, bandwidth, and region. Customers can select from pay-as-you-go options or longer-term contract commitments. Pricing varies depending on usage duration and data transfer needs, with charges calculated according to the connectivity specifications and service configurations chosen.
