What Megaport does

Provides on-demand network connectivity (network-as-a-service) linking businesses to cloud providers like AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.

Charges monthly for the ports and virtual connections customers set up, so revenue builds as customers add connections and live traffic keeps them in place; a self-service online portal keeps selling costs low. Its network inside third-party data centres, such as those of Equinix, is what it rents out.

In one line: A cloud-connectivity software-defined-networking provider.
