Case Study: Peninsula Canada achieves low-latency multicloud connectivity with Megaport and Beanfield Metroconnect

Peninsula Canada cuts latency 90% with Megaport

Peninsula Canada, a leading HR and employment law consultancy, faced the challenge of rapidly scaling its IT infrastructure to support its entrance into the Canadian market. Their rapid growth and reliance on Microsoft Azure and Office 365 services created a need for improved service quality and lower latency connectivity that their existing Azure VPN could not provide. They initiated a vendor selection process to find a solution for Azure ExpressRoute and better SaaS delivery.

Working with vendor Megaport and its partners, Peninsula Canada implemented a solution using Megaport's software-defined networking and private peering services. This involved a metro ethernet connection to the Megaport point of presence, providing direct, low-latency access to Azure, Office 365, and Salesforce. The results included a 90% reduction in latency to Microsoft services and a 50% reduction in latency to Salesforce, significantly improving performance and security for their new office.
