A unique partnership with a solutions focus

In a decade that has witnessed significant technological developments and a rapidly changing industry landscape—one in which companies come and go, morph and change—the long, stable partnership between NYI and Megaport is notable in withstanding the test of time while evolving to meet the escalating needs of clients in the digital infrastructure and network connectivity space. At the core of the successful collaboration is a shared dedication to facilitating holistic, custom solutions and delivering seamless customer experiences in an increasingly complex hybrid technology environment, driven by AI and other emerging technologies.

“NYI was one of our initial locations in New York, and they’ve been an outstanding partner for a decade now. They’re about more than just power and space—they understand the value of delivering market-leading solutions and a great customer experience, making them an ideal partner for Megaport,” says Michael Reid, CEO of Megaport. “Chicago is a booming Tier 1 market, and we’re excited to expand this partnership by adding NYI Chicago to our expansive global ecosystem.”

Providing easy access to digital infrastructure and connectivity

Both NYI and Megaport believe in making things simple for customers. While NYI simplifies data center operations by addressing the logistical hurdles involved in deploying digital infrastructure, Megaport simplifies the often arduous task of managing network connectivity.
