The company has partnered with Ciena, Electric Lightwave, Megaport, Opus Interactive, and ScienceLogic to create a new cloud hub for the Greater Portland / Hillsboro metro area.
EdgeConneX® has announced the launch of its Portland Edge Data Center® Cloud Ecosystem with industry leaders including Ciena, Electric Lightwave, Megaport, Opus Interactive, and ScienceLogic. The ecosystem provides EdgeConneX customers with on-demand, direct access to top cloud providers, the latest interconnection, infrastructure monitoring and performance measurement, as well as network access and managed services solutions. These partners enable customers to launch, manage and grow private, hybrid and public cloud environments with ease within a secure and reliable Edge Data Center environment. EdgeConneX also offers direct connectivity to Amazon Web Services (AWS) Direct Connect in its Portland Edge Data Center.
EdgeConneX's ecosystem partnership with Megaport allows customers to access the company's SDN-enabled elastic interconnection fabric that enables direct, seamless connectivity to AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform via an Application Program Interface (API). Opus Interactive aids EdgeConneX enterprise customers in their migration to the cloud, while managing their cloud infrastructure ongoing. ScienceLogic provides IT infrastructure monitoring and performance measurement services, assisting CIOs in the management of their infrastructure on a single pane of glass, no matter where the infrastructure may reside -- on premises, in colocation, or in the cloud. Electric Lightwave is the largest regional fiber provider in the west, offering network access to the cloud and private connectivity options that provide greater cloud security and lower latency for customers. Ciena is a market leader in creating customized solutions that assist customers in the management of complex optical and Ethernet technologies. These collective partnerships, along with others underway, position the Portland Edge Data Center as the region's most prominent cloud hub and the only way in which to locally reach AWS Direct Connect and Azure by Microsoft.
