NTT Malaysia Partners with Megaport to Bring Direct Multicloud Connectivity to Malaysian Enterprises

NTT MSC, the global ICT provider in Malaysia has entered into a strategic partnership with Megaport Singapore​,​ a global leading Network as a Service (NaaS) provider to launch the NexConnect Cloud Service in the country. This means that with just 1 single physical connection, enterprises can now connect to multiple cloud providers, which eases management as well as promotes cost efficiency.

NexConnect Cloud Service’s introduction enables enterprises to connect to the various cloud service providers  out there such as Alibaba Cloud, Amazon Web Service (AWS), Google Cloud Platform and Oracle Cloud to name a few.  How exactly this is done is via NTT’s network Point of Presence (POP) in its data centers in Cyberjaya, Malaysia as well as through Megaport’s Software Defined Network, which is a private, secure and low latency connection. NexConnect also offers enterprises the ability to have better traffic control between cloud providers, as well as reduce hardware costs by elastically scaling resources without requiring additional dedicated routers.

Taichi Hiramatsu, Chief Executive Officer of NTT MSC Sdn. Bhd added that “Technology is rapidly progressing globally, specifically in automation and cloud services. Malaysia represents an opportunity to increase our presence in the market; NexConnect Cloud Service allows enterprises to bypass the obstacles that impede them from enjoying the benefits of multi-cloud computing adoption.  NTT MSC aims to become the data exchange infrastructure provider in Malaysia.”

With demand for cloud services in the country on the rise due to local enterprises move towards a more digitalized environment, a single cloud service environment may no longer be sufficient to cater to the requirements of businesses from various industries. The rise in cloud connectivity is echoed by Vincent English, CEO of Megaport, who said “As Malaysian enterprises undergo their digital transformation initiatives, cloud connectivity will play a critical role in breaking down the barriers to adopting public cloud services. Megaport’s SDN enables improved performance, security, and scalability for cloud-based applications. Our partnership with NTT Malaysia will give their customers these great benefits and greater optionality when architecting their IT solutions.”
