Megaport and Latitude.sh: Bringing Compute and Connectivity Together

By Michael Reid, CEO & Board Director

Megaport has entered into an agreement to acquire Latitude.sh, creating an industry-leading Compute and Network-as-a-Service platform to power high-performance applications and AI workloads globally.

At Megaport, we’ve always believed infrastructure should be simple to use, powerful at scale, and flexible enough to follow the workloads that matter most.

That’s why we’ve entered into an agreement to acquire Latitude.sh, a global Compute-as-a-Service platform that delivers high-performance CPU and GPU infrastructure on demand. The transaction is expected to close by December 31, 2025, subject to customary approvals and conditions.

When this deal completes, we’ll bring Megaport’s global Network as a Service (NaaS) platform together with Latitude.sh’s compute platform to build an industry-leading platform where network and compute converge globally. This positions Megaport at the heart of the hybrid cloud and AI-driven future.

How Megaport and Latitude.sh Fit Together

Megaport is changing how businesses connect their infrastructure, with one smart and simple platform to manage every connection. Customers use Megaport to build secure, scalable, and agile networks in just a few clicks, creating private paths in minutes across more than 1,000 enabled locations in 26 countries.

Latitude.sh has taken a similar approach on the compute side.

Latitude.sh customers have deployed more than 7,700 servers across the globe to power mission-critical workloads, train and run AI models, and scale latency-sensitive applications while keeping complexity and cost under control. Today, Latitude.sh provides high-performance CPU and GPU infrastructure in 20 key markets across 10 countries, serving more than 1,150 customers.

Those customers use Latitude.sh for a broad mix of workloads:

CPU-based: enterprise applications, high-performance blockchain nodes, SaaS platforms, gaming, adtech, and streaming services

GPU-based: AI inference, fine-tuning, and training on dedicated NVIDIA-based clusters

In our recent press release, I said:

“Megaport has long been trusted by the world’s largest enterprises to move workloads seamlessly between data centers and the cloud. By bringing Latitude.sh into the fold, we’re extending that promise beyond the network, and into high-performance, optimized compute, complementing cloud providers. Together, we will not only serve the massive traditional compute market but will also open the door to the explosive AI infrastructure space and the hyper-growth market of inference.”

That’s exactly how we see the fit: Megaport brings private, on-demand connectivity across 1,000+ locations; Latitude.sh brings automated compute and GPUs for modern workloads. When the integration is complete, those capabilities will live on a single, unified platform.

Latitude is a natural fit for Megaport. We believe in growing them, and they believe in growing with us.

Gui Soubihe, CEO of Latitude.sh, has stated that:

“This is a tremendous opportunity to extend our compute platform—capable of deploying dedicated CPUs and GPUs on demand—into the world’s largest Network-as-a-Service provider. The combination of Latitude.sh’s on-demand optimized compute with Megaport’s global private high-speed network will create a cutting-edge globally automated Infrastructure-as-a-Service platform.”

The Principles Behind the Combined Platform

Bringing Megaport and Latitude together isn’t only about technology; it’s about how both companies think.

Global reach, local awareness

Both Megaport and Latitude.sh were built to be global from the start. Our footprints already overlap across the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Following completion, we’ll look to extend that reach, including growth opportunities in key markets.

Automation and simplicity first

Megaport turned traditional connectivity into an on-demand, software-defined experience. Latitude.sh did the same for compute, wrapping powerful CPUs and GPUs in an intuitive portal and API. We both care about turning complex infrastructure into something accessible and easy to manage.

Performance with control

Customers care about latency, reliability, and predictability. Latitude.sh focuses on performance-sensitive workloads – AI, gaming, streaming, high-throughput blockchain nodes, and SaaS platforms – while Megaport focuses on private, predictable connectivity between the places those workloads run. Together, we’ll give customers more control over where and how those pieces connect.

Customer and developer focus

Latitude.sh was built to make compute “programmable, global, and instantly accessible to workloads that care about performance, control, and cost.” That aligns with how we at Megaport work with network architects, operators, and developers every day. Listening to these teams, and solving real problems for them, will remain central as we integrate.

These principles will guide how we shape the combined experience once the acquisition is complete.

What We Plan to Deliver Once the Deal Closes

Following completion of the acquisition, our goal is straightforward:

One platform where you can deploy compute and network on demand.

On-demand compute and connectivity

On the compute side, we’ll offer a new compute solution, powered by the acquisition of Latitude:

• On-demand deployment – let customers spin up dedicated CPU and GPU infrastructure across Latitude.sh locations without long provisioning cycles or upfront commitments.
• Matched to real workloads – offer configurations optimized for everything from enterprise applications and SaaS platforms to large-scale AI training and real-time inference.

On the network side, we’ll keep extending Megaport’s private, high-speed connectivity so customers can:

• Connect in more locations – extend that compute into major public clouds, private data centers, and on-premises environments using Megaport’s global backbone across more than 1,000 data centers.
• Manage it from one place – use the Megaport Portal to deploy compute and build connections in the same software-defined way: select a location, choose a configuration, launch dedicated compute, then connect it privately to the services around it.

The experience we’re working toward is a single workflow that covers both compute and connectivity, deployed across the globe in minutes, not months.

Built for AI and high-performance workloads

Latitude.sh’s platform is already used today to:

• Train, fine-tune, and run AI models
• Serve latency-sensitive workloads like gaming and streaming
• Support high-performance blockchain nodes and SaaS platforms

After the transaction closes, we’ll focus on:

• Placing GPU resources closer to where data is created and consumed
• Combining NVIDIA-powered AI infrastructure with Megaport’s private, low-latency connectivity to clouds, data stores, and edge locations
• Providing a neutral, programmable way to support AI inference, fine-tuning, and training across multiple regions and providers

As I said in the press release, this is about opening “the door to the explosive AI infrastructure space and the hyper-growth market of inference” while continuing to support the massive traditional compute market.

That’s the future state we’re aiming for.

What Customers Can Expect

Until the transaction closes, Megaport and Latitude.sh will continue to operate as separate companies, and there’s no change for existing customers as a result of this announcement alone.

Once the deal completes, we’ll focus on four priorities:

Improved access to infrastructure

Use Megaport’s scale and ecosystem to help improve access to the compute resources customers need – including GPUs – and reduce lead times where possible.

Expanded reach across regions

Combine our locations across the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific so customers can run workloads closer to their users and data, and explore new opportunities in key growth markets.

Private connectivity as a standard choice

Make it straightforward to pair compute with private, high-speed connectivity, so traffic between compute, clouds, and data centers stays predictable, secure, and easier to operate.

A faster, focused roadmap

Bring Megaport and Latitude.sh engineering teams together so we can deliver new features, locations, and integrations faster, without losing the simplicity and developer focus that brought customers to us in the first place.

Looking Ahead

This acquisition will mark an important next step for Megaport, Latitude.sh, and the customers who rely on both of us.

From Megaport’s side, the goal is clear:

• Keep delivering the reliability, performance, and simplicity customers expect from our network today.
• Provide customers with even more choice in how they pair that network with high-performance compute.

This is the logical next step in a journey we’ve been on for a while: taking everything we know about traditional infrastructure, turning it into something on-demand and software-defined, and putting more control back in the hands of our customers – across both network and compute.

Game on.
