Bluebird Network and the Bluebird Underground Data Center, Bluebird Network’s colocation facility located in Springfield, Missouri, will now have unprecedented connectivity to each of these top-tier cloud computing and “as-a-service” providers, strengthening product offerings and improving bandwidth support to both data center and network customers.

Customers can expect to see an improved performance through secure end-to-end connections, linking customer locations to cloud networks without the risk or latency of traversing the public internet. Private, dedicated connections through the Bluebird Megaport partnership allow customers to better control where and how their data gets to the cloud.

“Our partnership with Megaport provides both our data center and network customers with additional resources to support their business-critical operations; allowing for dedicated, secure, and scalable connections to the cloud,” states Michael Morey, President and CEO of Bluebird Network. “Bluebird assures the same focus on providing high-quality fiber service to rural areas while enabling access to Megaport connectivity to a wide array of diverse cloud service providers.”
