Megaport has acquired Latitude.sh, creating an industry-leading Compute and Network as a Service platform to power high-performance applications and AI workloads globally.
Note: This blog has been updated to reflect the successful completion of the acquisition on 27 November 2025.
At Megaport, we’ve always believed infrastructure should be simple to use, powerful at scale, and flexible enough to follow the workloads that matter most.
That’s why we’ve acquired Latitude.sh, a global Compute as a Service platform that delivers high-performance CPU and GPU infrastructure on demand.
This acquisition brings Megaport’s global Network as a Service (NaaS) platform together with Latitude.sh’s compute platform to build an industry-leading platform where network and compute converge globally. This positions Megaport at the heart of the hybrid cloud and AI-driven future.
Megaport is changing how businesses connect their infrastructure, with one smart and simple platform to manage every connection. Customers use Megaport to build secure, scalable, and agile networks in just a few clicks, creating private paths in minutes across more than 1,100 enabled locations in 30 countries.
Latitude.sh has taken a similar approach on the compute side.
Latitude.sh customers have deployed more than 7,700 servers across the globe to power mission-critical workloads, train and run AI models, and scale latency-sensitive applications while keeping complexity and cost under control. Today, Latitude.sh provides high-performance CPU and GPU infrastructure in 20 key markets across 10 countries, serving more than 1,150 customers.
Those customers use Latitude.sh for a broad mix of workloads:
In our recent press release, I said:
“Megaport has long been trusted by the world’s largest enterprises to move workloads seamlessly between data centers and the cloud. By bringing Latitude.sh into the fold, we’re extending that promise beyond the network, and into high-performance, optimized compute, complementing cloud providers. Together, we will not only serve the massive traditional compute market but will also open the door to the explosive AI infrastructure space and the hyper-growth market of inference.”
That’s exactly how we see it: Megaport brings private, on-demand connectivity across 1,100 + locations; Latitude.sh brings automated compute and GPUs for modern workloads. Together, those capabilities will live on a single, unified platform.
Latitude is a natural fit for Megaport. We believe in growing them, and they believe in growing with us.
Gui Soubihe, CEO of Latitude.sh, has stated that:
“This is a tremendous opportunity to extend our compute platform—capable of deploying dedicated CPUs and GPUs on demand—into the world’s largest Network-as-a-Service provider. The combination of Latitude.sh’s on-demand optimized compute with Megaport’s global private high-speed network will create a cutting-edge globally automated Infrastructure-as-a-Service platform.”
Bringing Megaport and Latitude together isn’t only about technology; it’s about how both companies think.
Both Megaport and Latitude.sh were built to be global from the start. Our footprints already overlap across the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Together, we’ll extend that reach, including growth opportunities in key markets.
Megaport turned traditional connectivity into an on-demand, software-defined experience. Latitude.sh did the same for compute, wrapping powerful CPUs and GPUs in an intuitive portal and API. We both care about turning complex infrastructure into something accessible and easy to manage.
Customers care about latency, reliability, and predictability. Latitude.sh focuses on performance-sensitive workloads—AI, gaming, streaming, high-throughput blockchain nodes, and SaaS platforms—while Megaport focuses on private, predictable connectivity between the places those workloads run. Together, we’ll give customers more control over where and how those pieces connect.
Latitude.sh was built to make compute “programmable, global, and instantly accessible to workloads that care about performance, control, and cost.” That aligns with how we at Megaport work with network architects, operators, and developers every day. Listening to these teams, and solving real problems for them, will remain central as we integrate.
These principles will guide how we shape our combined experience.
Our goal is straightforward:
One platform where you can deploy compute and network on demand.
On the compute side, we’re offering a new compute solution, powered by the acquisition of Latitude:
On the network side, we’ll keep extending Megaport’s private, high-speed connectivity so customers can:
The experience we’re working toward is a single workflow that covers both compute and connectivity, deployed across the globe in minutes, not months.
Latitude.sh’s platform is already used today to:
Now that they’re a part of Megaport, we’re focussing on:
As I said in the press release, this is about opening “the door to the explosive AI infrastructure space and the hyper-growth market of inference” while continuing to support the massive traditional compute market.
That’s the future state we’re aiming for.
Now that the acquisition is complete, we’re focussed on four priorities:
Use Megaport’s scale and ecosystem to help improve access to the compute resources customers need—including GPUs—and reduce lead times where possible.
Combine our locations across the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific so customers can run workloads closer to their users and data, and explore new opportunities in key growth markets.
Make it straightforward to pair compute with private, high-speed connectivity, so traffic between compute, clouds, and data centers stays predictable, secure, and easier to operate.
Bring Megaport and Latitude.sh engineering teams together so we can deliver new features, locations, and integrations faster, without losing the simplicity and developer focus that brought customers to us in the first place.
This acquisition marks an important next step for Megaport, Latitude.sh, and the customers who rely on both of us.
From Megaport’s side, the goal is clear:
To explore what’s already possible and hear more of the story, you can:
This is the logical next step in a journey we’ve been on for a while: taking everything we know about traditional infrastructure, turning it into something on-demand and software-defined, and putting more control back in the hands of our customers – across both network and compute.
Game on.
