Wasabi Technologies and Megaport Limited have announced a strategic partnership that will see Wasabi's cloud object storage integrated into Megaport's infrastructure platform. The arrangement makes Wasabi the storage layer behind Megaport Storage, combining Wasabi's object storage with Megaport's global private network and software-defined connectivity.
The partnership is framed around what both companies call neocloud infrastructure: cloud services designed specifically for AI workloads, which require high-performance compute, fast networking, and scalable storage working together rather than procured separately from a single hyperscaler.
Michael Reid, CEO of Megaport, said the new arrangement is designed to give customers simpler access to purpose-built modern infrastructure. The combined offering extends Megaport's portfolio with a scalable storage service complementing the high-performance technologies powering AI applications: "By combining Megaport's global network with Wasabi's cloud object storage platform, we're extending our infrastructure portfolio with a scalable storage service that supports enterprise data growth while complementing the high-performance technologies powering AI applications."
The new object storage service will be available through the Megaport platform in supported regions. Organisations will be able to provision secure, scalable object storage alongside high-speed connectivity through a single automated experience, with Megaport handling dedicated private connectivity to Wasabi's 16 global storage regions.
"Megaport shares our vision of an open, interconnected cloud ecosystem where networking, compute, and cloud object storage work together seamlessly. Whether customers are building AI data platforms, modern applications, media workflows, or cyber resilience strategies, they need storage that scales predictably, performs globally, and integrates easily across their infrastructure."
— Dave Friend, CEO and Co-Founder, Wasabi
Megaport has been expanding its infrastructure stack beyond networking through its acquisition of Latitude.sh, which brought GPU-powered compute into its portfolio. Adding Wasabi's object storage positions the company as a more complete alternative to the hyperscaler stack. The two companies plan deeper technical integrations and joint go-to-market initiatives. Wasabi currently operates 16 storage regions serving organisations in more than 100 countries.
