Regional enterprises often encounter rising costs and network bottlenecks when using public internet connections. With Megaport’s software-defined network now available at DartPoints’ Greenville campus, companies can establish private virtual cross-connects (VXCs) to major cloud platforms like AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud from a single port. This enables seamless application deployment, inferencing, and robust backup and disaster recovery solutions. Moreover, by joining Megaport’s global ecosystem, DartPoints can now serve customers beyond its immediate footprint, allowing organizations in other markets to easily discover and connect to DartPoints’ infrastructure as if it were local. The DartPoints and Megaport solution reduces latency by up to 40%, lowers bandwidth expenses by an average of 25%, and simplifies management through an intuitive portal and API integrations.
