6WIND adds its virtual service routers to Megaport

6WIND has expanded its partnership with Megaport, making the 6WIND Virtual Service Router portfolio available directly through Megaport’s platform. The move gives enterprises, cloud providers and service providers a faster way to buy, deploy and scale virtual networking services with global private connectivity.

Why it matters: - The expanded channel gives customers a simpler way to access carrier-grade routing, security and firewall functions without a separate procurement path. - The deal could speed deployment of cloud networking, SD-WAN, secure edge and hybrid multi-cloud services. - Megaport’s on-demand global connectivity adds reach across cloud, network and IT service providers worldwide.

What happened: - 6WIND announced an expanded partnership with Megaport on July 23, 2026. - Megaport can now sell and provision the full 6WIND Virtual Service Router portfolio directly. - The partnership builds on the 2024 integration of 6WIND’s VSR with Megaport Virtual Edge. - The arrangement is aimed at enterprises, cloud providers, communications service providers and managed service providers.

The details: - The 6WIND Virtual Service Router portfolio includes routing, IPsec forwarding, CG-NAT and L3/L4 firewall functions. - Megaport customers can purchase and provision the portfolio through Megaport’s global private software-defined network and Virtual Edge platform. - Customers can combine 6WIND’s networking functions with Megaport’s private connectivity for secure, carrier-grade deployments. - 6WIND says the setup reduces procurement friction, shortens time to value and supports flexible consumption. - 6WIND said the company’s collaboration with Megaport has already shown the value of pairing high-performance virtual networking with on-demand global connectivity. - Megaport said the expanded availability gives customers a streamlined way to access routing, security, CGNAT and firewall capabilities alongside private connectivity. - The 6WIND Virtual Service Router is designed to modernize network infrastructure while reducing costs and improving operational agility. - The portfolio is available through 6WIND’s VSR solutions page. - Megaport says its network is ISO/IEC 27001 certified and spans 1,100+ enabled locations worldwide.

Between the lines: - The partnership turns Megaport into a distribution channel for 6WIND software, which lowers friction for customers that already use Megaport infrastructure. - The move also deepens Megaport’s role beyond connectivity into a broader software-defined infrastructure layer. - Both companies are positioning software-defined networking as a way to simplify enterprise network operations and speed deployment.

What’s next: - Customers can now buy and scale 6WIND’s virtual networking services through Megaport as demand grows. - The companies are likely to push the combined offer into edge networking and multi-cloud use cases. - 6WIND and Megaport said they will continue focusing on software-defined infrastructure for rapid network service deployment.

The bottom line: - The expanded partnership makes 6WIND’s virtual networking tools easier to buy and deploy inside Megaport’s global connectivity platform.
