DigiPlex has announced a new collaboration with Megaport to offer its customers a hugely expanded range of cloud access options.

The partnership is set to give DigiPlex customers direct, secure and on-demand access to a global ecosystem of over 300 service providers, including leading Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform, and Oracle Cloud.

The collaboration which follows the launch of DigiPlex’s Nordic Connect Platform, linking its main data centres in Sweden, Norway and Denmark, serves to further enhance the cloud connectivity options available to DigiPlex customers.
