The offering supports AI data platforms, data lakes, analytics, cloud-native applications, media and content repositories, cyber resilience, backup, and other cloud-scale object storage workloads.“Organizations are increasingly building modern infrastructure by combining best-of-breed services rather than relying on a single cloud provider,” said Dave Friend, CEO and Co-Founder of Wasabi. “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.”The partnership builds on Megaport’s vision of delivering an integrated AI cloud platform that brings together networking, compute, and purpose-built storage services. Through its acquisition of Latitude.sh, Megaport has expanded into GPU-powered compute, while high-performance storage technologies support latency-sensitive AI workloads. Wasabi complements this architecture by providing a general-purpose cloud object storage platform for AI, analytics, enterprise applications, cyber resilience, and cloud-native workloads. As organizations generate and retain ever-larger volumes of data, Wasabi enables customers to seamlessly move, manage, and access data across their AI and cloud environments through a globally scalable object storage layer.As part of the partnership, Megaport is expanding high-speed private connectivity to Wasabi’s 16 global storage regions, allowing customers to provision dedicated connectivity to cloud object storage in minutes while benefiting from dedicated private connectivity, consistent network performance, and more predictable storage costs.The companies will continue to collaborate on deeper technical integrations, joint go-to-market initiatives, and new solutions that connect Wasabi’s cloud object storage with Megaport’s networking platform and AI infrastructure. Together, the companies are helping enterprises build flexible, high-performance cloud environments optimized for AI, analytics, modern applications, media workflows, cyber resilience, and the next generation of data-intensive workloads.About Wasabi TechnologiesAI is only as powerful as the data behind it.
