How to use Megaport and Megaport Cloud Router for multicloud designs – from simple single-region to complex resilient multi-region architectures.
How to use Megaport and Megaport Cloud Router for multicloud designs – from simple single-region to complex resilient multi-region architectures.
When it comes to architecting cloud infrastructure to host business-critical applications, any enterprise should make sure they have measures in place to protect their organisation from experiencing an outage. A high-performance backup architecture could mean the difference between your mission-critical workloads running smoothly and major disruptions causing potential loss of data, customers, and revenue.
Some of the headaches you might experience when designing networks for hybrid and multicloud architectures include:
In order to solve for these potential issues, we’ll look at nine different design scenarios using Megaport and Megaport Cloud Router (MCR) that you can build. These range from a simple partially protected network to an end-to-end highly available resilient network for multicloud and hybrid cloud with an affordable price tag and with no lock-in contract.
