Australian Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) provider Megaport has tapped Wasabi Technologies to bring the latter's storage capabilities to its infrastructure platform.

Wasabi will provide its cloud object storage to Megaport's platform as Megaport continues its push into neocloud services.

Under the partnership, Megaport will extend its private network to Wasabi's 16 global storage regions.

The storage service will be available in supported regions through the Megaport platform and will enable customers to run workloads including AI data platforms, data lakes, analytics, cloud-native applications, media and content repositories, cyber resilience, backup, and other cloud-scale object storage workloads.

“Our customers are looking for infrastructure that's simpler, more connected, and purpose-built for modern workloads,” said Michael Reid, CEO of Megaport. “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.”

“Organizations are increasingly building modern infrastructure by combining best-of-breed services rather than relying on a single cloud provider,” added 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.”

Megaport is traditionally known for its NaaS offering, but has been expanding into the AI cloud world. In November 2025, it revealed it was planning to acquire cloud infrastructure provider Latitude.sh, and closed the deal shortly after the announcement.

Latitude.sh/Megaport secured a customer for its compute and storage offering in a 36-month contract valued at $25.1m towards the beginning of 2026, and in June 2026, revealed it had secured a further four AI infrastructure contracts with a combined value of AU$459.9m (US$329.49m).

Ultimately, the company is targeting a globally distributed AI inference cloud that will be anchored by an on-demand GPU pool, which Megaport will invest AU$350m (US$244m) in establishing. The company's current network spans 1,100 data centers in 31 countries.

In April 2026, Wasabi acquired Lyve Cloud, an Edge-to-cloud storage platform that is S3-compatible, from Seagate Technology LLC, and raised $70m in an equity funding round that valued the company at $1.8bn towards the start of the year.
