NEW YORK, May 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Netrality Properties, owner and operator of highly interconnected and resilient network-neutral colocation facilities, announced today the first of its properties to be enabled by Megaport’s global Software Defined Network (SDN) and its Ecosystem of over 250 IT, network, and cloud service providers.
Netrality customers can now utilize Megaport’s services at 1102 Grand in Kansas City, the most network-rich interconnection environment in the central Midwest, and 401 North Broad in Philadelphia, a major data center and interconnection point between Manhattan and Virginia.
