Digital Realty, a global provider of data centre, colocation and interconnection solutions, has announced the release of its Service Exchange, an interconnection platform that facilitates direct, private and secure connections to multiple cloud service providers – including AWS, Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure – as well as telecommunications providers and other Digital Realty customers worldwide.
Service Exchange simplifies interconnection and makes access between interconnected services, providers and businesses more flexible, more scalable and easier to use than ever before. Upon its launch later this year, Service Exchange will offer greater performance, reliability and security for cloud services and data centre access than the public Internet.
“Enterprises undertaking the digital transformation must be able to navigate growing concerns regarding network security issues, changing regulatory requirements, unpredictable performance and escalating operating costs,” said Rick Villars, VP for Datacenter and Cloud at International Data Corporation. “Digital Realty’s Service Exchange will enable enterprises to tackle these concerns and efficiently manage high-performance interconnections between internal applications and cloud resources in a secure and cost-effective environment.”
Service Exchange will be made available through a global partnership between Digital Realty and Megaport's US subsidiary, which provides the elastic, software defined network (SDN)-based Ethernet fabric that enables interconnection between cloud providers and Digital Realty customers.
“We’re delighted to partner with Megaport to bring customers enhanced, easy-to-use interconnection services and SDN-enabled flexibility to their IT operations,” said Chris Sharp, Digital Realty’s Chief Technology Officer. “The Service Exchange creates a simple, flexible and scalable solution for our customers, including those looking to make, jumpstart or accelerate their digital transformations.”

Megaport and Digital Realty have partnered to bring services, capabilities, SDN-enabled flexibility, and a great customer experience to IT operations in every business segment. Digital Realty has a longstanding tradition of enabling rapid scalability through its global infrastructure platform, and these benefits are now being complemented by Megaport’s similarly scalable interconnection platform. The combination of these capabilities creates an innovative offering for the industry.
Service Exchange offers customers access to multiple cloud service providers and other service providers through a single port that supports multiple virtual private connections (“virtual cross connects”) to service providers and data centres. Customers can manage their virtual cross connects through MarketplacePORTAL, Digital Realty’s online customer platform, and scale the bandwidth of their connections up or down as needed.
Digital Realty owns and operates more than 140 properties encompassing over 26 million sq ft across 33 global metropolitan areas.

Service Exchange will be available in 24 data centres across 15 markets by mid-year 2017, including in Singapore in Q217.
