Megaport has announced it has entered into a distribution agreement with Germany’s IT system house Bechtle, which will see the NaaS firm’s private SDN platform become available through Bechtle.
Megaport’s NaaS platform offers private, scalable, connectivity to cloud service providers, such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.
By using Megaport, Bechtle customers will gain access to reduced network jitter and latency, reduced cloud egress costs to cloud on-ramps, point-and-click network provisioning, real-time provisioning of virtual network infrastructure and interconnections, among others.
“Bringing Megaport’s leading NaaS platform into the Bechtle portfolio makes it easier for customers to modernise their network connectivity and connect quickly to leading cloud service providers,” said Rodney Foreman (pictured), CRO at Megaport. “Bechtle’s European footprint and reach, combined with their expertise in IT solutions, makes them ideal to expand and deepen our channel relationships.”
With more than 80 IT system houses in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland as well as e-commerce companies in 14 European countries, Bechtle offers direct IT product sales and extensive systems integration services to midsized businesses, large corporations, and public-sector organisations.
“With Megaport, we are expanding our portfolio with innovative and scalable IaaS-solutions that are required by today’s competitive companies,” added Ralf Beck, director of software product management infrastructure at Bechtle. “The provision of services by German data centres and the connectivity to leading cloud providers round off Megaport’s range of service.”
