nLighten, a digital infrastructure platform and a frontrunner in the European data center market, has formed a strategic partnership with Megaport. As part of the agreement Megaport will operate a Point of Presence (PoP) at two of nLighten’s edge data centers, located in Milton Keynes, United Kingdom and Sophia Antipolis, France.

nLighten enterprise customers will benefit from a seamless, fast and cost-efficient connection to a wide choice of private and public cloud services, adding to the colocation, connectivity and onsite services already provided. The cloud on-ramp initiative will allow nLighten customers using the Sophia Antipolis and Milton Keynes edge data centers to easily migrate their workloads to and from the cloud, enabling efficient and cost-effective hybrid IT environments.

"We are delighted to have Megaport as a partner," says Joacim van Collenburg, VP Enabling Services of nLighten. "This initiative underscores nLighten’s commitment to supporting our customers’ IT needs every step of the way, in this case by leveraging Megaport’s scalable and cost-effective infrastructure to simplify cloud connectivity at two of our key edge data center locations. We are continuously looking to enhance our digital services portfolio across the expanding nLighten footprint of 34 edge data centers, to make the use of transformative cloud technologies and Tech applications like Artificial Intelligence even more accessible to our customers."

"Our partnership with nLighten reflects a shared commitment to redefining how businesses connect and thrive," said Michael Reid, CEO of Megaport. "We’re thrilled to expand our footprint together and can’t wait to see how this partnership will empower each of our customers to innovate faster."

The integration of the Megaport PoP at nLighten’s edge data centers in Antibes and Milton Keynes is nearing completion, and both sites are now available for pre-order.

As a vendor-neutral digital infrastructure platform, nLighten is committed to providing customers with diverse cloud on-ramp options and is actively pursuing new partnerships to broaden its market reach and provide maximum customer choice.
