MELVILLE, N.Y., Jan. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Data Storage Corporation (Nasdaq: DTST) (“DSC” and the “Company”), a leading provider of multi-cloud hosting, managed cloud services, disaster recovery, cybersecurity, and IT automation, that integrates with AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, today announced that its subsidiary, CloudFirst Europe, has expanded its partnership with Megaport into the UK, marking a significant milestone in its global expansion strategy.
Building upon a successful relationship in North America, this expansion enables CloudFirst to leverage Megaport’s Network as a Service platform, “Direct Connect”, which simplifies access to top-tier cloud providers and hyperscalers such as AWS through secure, high-performance connectivity. As part of the partnership, CloudFirst Europe will deploy infrastructure within Megaport’s ecosystem of data centers and leverage its global private connectivity solutions to strengthen CloudFirst’s IBMi Power Hosting and Infrastructure as a Service offerings. With “Direct Connect,” network traffic remains on the Company’s global network and therefore never touches the public internet, eliminating bottlenecks and latency issues. This positions CloudFirst as a trusted partner for enterprises modernizing their IT infrastructure and adopting CloudFirst and hybrid cloud strategies, aligning with growing market demand and IBM’s upcoming system updates. The collaboration with Megaport will also provide cross-selling opportunities, offering clients access to a fully integrated network environment that connects on-premises systems with leading cloud platforms.
“This partnership demonstrates our commitment to providing businesses with seamless, secure, and scalable data solutions,” said Colin Freeman, Managing Director of CloudFirst Europe. “Our success lies in working alongside our partners, building on their established relationships and expertise to offer a seamless experience to end users. The demand for hybrid and multi cloud infrastructure solutions has never been higher, and we’re here to deliver innovative services that capitalize on this momentum.”
