DartPoints South Carolina Data Center Partners with Megaport to Improve Connectivity for Southeast Enterprises

For enterprises navigating the complexities of modern IT, managing growing workloads and distributed applications while controlling escalating cloud costs is a persistent challenge. Particularly in regions across the Southeast, including upstate South Carolina, options for direct, secure cloud access have historically been limited, forcing businesses to compromise. That’s changing, thanks to innovations within the data center landscape.

DartPoints has partnered with Megaport to deliver a groundbreaking cloud connectivity option for businesses in the region. Starting with our Greenville, South Carolina data center, companies can now establish private, high-performance connections to a wide range of major cloud providers, including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, and others, without relying on the public internet.

Why Direct Cloud Connectivity Matters for Your Data Center Strategy

This enhanced connectivity is a game-changer for several reasons:

• Improved Performance and Security: Public internet connections often come with inconsistent performance and added security concerns. Our solution bypasses these issues, offering a dedicated path.
• Cost-Effective and Scalable: Historically, getting a private, scalable connection to multiple cloud services required expensive contracts or backhauling traffic through distant carrier hotels. For businesses outside of major metros, that’s simply not practical.
• Local Access, Global Reach: Now, with Megaport’s platform installed directly inside DartPoints’ Greenville data center, businesses leveraging our South Carolina data center can quickly create virtual cross-connects to the cloud services they use every day. You can scale bandwidth up or down depending on usage, all through a simple portal or API—no long waits or complex provisioning.

The Impact on Southeast Enterprises

For businesses managing hybrid cloud environments, supporting demanding AI workloads, or needing more reliable data transfer between locations, this partnership significantly reduces latency and simplifies operations. Based on customer data, Megaport connections typically lower bandwidth expenses by about 25 percent and reduce latency by up to 40 percent compared to public internet alternatives. This offers a clear competitive advantage for companies in the Southeast.

Expanding Our Footprint: More Data Centers in the Southeast to Come

Greenville, a key data center hub in South Carolina, marks the first of what will be several locations across our footprint where we bring cloud access closer to where businesses operate. Our goal is to make reliable infrastructure available in areas where demand is rising, but options have historically been limited.

Scott Willis, our CEO, puts it plainly: “This is about making sure our customers can grow and compete without being constrained by infrastructure limitations. Greenville is a smart place to start, and we’re looking forward to building from here.”
