Megaport’s Neocloud Gets Its Storage Layer as Wasabi Powers Megaport Storage

Cloud  ◇  Enterprise

Wasabi Technologies and Megaport Limited have entered a strategic partnership to add Wasabi cloud object storage to Megaport Storage. The integration combines Wasabi’s object storage platform with Megaport’s private global network, targeting AI data platforms, analytics environments, cyber resilience workflows, and other large-scale cloud storage use cases.

The service is available through the Megaport platform in supported regions and is designed to simplify the deployment of private, scalable object storage. Customers can provision dedicated connectivity to Wasabi storage through Megaport’s automation platform rather than relying solely on public internet paths. Megaport is extending private connectivity to Wasabi’s 16 global storage regions.

The combined offering is positioned for organizations building multi-provider cloud architectures, where compute, networking, and storage services may be sourced independently but require integrated connectivity. Use cases include AI training and inference data repositories, data lakes, cloud-native applications, media and content libraries, backup targets, and recovery environments.

Megaport’s network provides the connectivity layer, while Wasabi supplies the object storage platform. The companies state that the service is intended to provide more consistent network performance and predictable storage costs for workloads that move or access large data sets.

The partnership completes what the industry has taken to calling a neocloud stack: purpose-built AI infrastructure assembled outside the hyperscalers. Megaport’s software-defined network spans more than 1,100 enabled locations, its Latitude.sh acquisition brought GPU-accelerated compute, and Wasabi now supplies the object storage layer, giving the company all three pillars of an AI infrastructure platform for latency-sensitive, data-intensive workloads. The storage layer has drawn far less attention than GPUs in the neocloud wave, but the data feeding those GPUs has to live somewhere, move quickly, and not consume the budget.

Wasabi’s role is to provide the scalable storage layer for AI, analytics, enterprise data, and cyber resilience use cases. Through private links, organizations can move, manage, and access data across Megaport-connected infrastructure without placing all storage traffic on public internet connections.

The two companies plan further technical integrations and joint go-to-market work around AI infrastructure, cloud storage, and private network connectivity.

I have been in the tech industry since IBM created Selectric. My background, though, is writing. So I decided to get out of the pre-sales biz and return to my roots, doing a bit of writing but still being involved in technology.
