BRISBANE, Australia and SAN FRANCISCO – Mar. 17, 2016 – Megaport, a global leader in software defined networking (SDN) based elastic interconnection, today announced that Wolfe will connect its metro and national Ethernet network to the Megaport Elastic Fabric throughout the United States to provide direct connectivity to key cloud services.

Wolfe will connect to Megaport in Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York City, San Jose, and Seattle.
