• Rapid customer take-up with 3 private cloud hosts already signed on

Activeport Group Ltd (ASX:ATV) has announced the successful launch and rapid early take-up of its groundbreaking Private-Cloud Connect, a layer-2 fibre-based network-as-a-service offering high speed data communications ports with variable bandwidth on-demand software orchestration, connecting branch offices to private cloud services hosted in Australia's leading colocation data centres. Since its launch in August, three private cloud hosts have already signed on and are expected to deliver hundreds of new network-as-a-service circuits on Global Edge this year. Private-Cloud Connect is Australia's first dedicated fibre service offering variable bandwidth for private cloud connectivity, enabling unparalleled flexibility. The service provides private cloud connectivity at wholesale rates, empowering resellers to enhance margins and deliver faster, more cost-effective high-speed fibre solutions. The first 3 customers, hosting their private cloud services in leading data centres including DigiCo, Equinix, and NextDC have committed to the service and begun connecting their clients using Global Edge. Variable bandwidth allows customers to scale up for heavy workloads, such as data migrations, and scale down for daily operations, optimising cost and maximising performance. Activeport is experiencing significant demand for private cloud networks as companies implement AI strategies requiring enhanced capacity in local colocation data centres.
