When it comes to deploying cutting-edge network solutions, Graphiant’s Backbone as a Service (BaaS) makes the process easy and scalable. In this post, we will walk through the steps required to subscribe to Graphiant using the AWS Marketplace, ideal for customers starting a pilot or small deployment before scaling up. 

1. Log into AWS Marketplace 

The first step is to log into your AWS Marketplace account. Once you’re logged in, simply search for “Graphiant” to find the listings available. For most users, the best option is the “Pay-As-You-Go” offering. This model is perfect for pilot programs or smaller deployments, but can also support production environments as your business grows. 

2. Review the Offer and Select Your Purchase Options 

Once you’ve selected the “Pay-As-You-Go” option, review the high-level terms of the offer. If you’re satisfied with the terms, click on “View Purchase Options.” 

Graphiant offers flexibility through Network Credits, which measure and bill customers based on usage. This monthly subscription provides scalable solutions, making it easy to adjust as your network requirements grow. For most proofs of concept or small deployments, starting with the minimum subscription level is sufficient. 

3. Select the Right Package for Your Needs 

Begin by selecting Quantity 1, which offers 100 Graphiant credits. This package gives you about 100 Mbps of capacity on Graphiant’s core network and the ability to spin up one gateway—perfect for cloud connectivity. 

If your requirements grow, you can adjust your subscription level over time to add more bandwidth and gateways, making it a great fit for companies scaling their network resources. 

4. Create Your Contract and Provision Your Tenant 

After confirming your purchase, click on “Create Contract” and proceed to payment. Once the transaction is complete, you’ll be directed to the Graphiant Partner Portal. Here, you will provide essential details such as your company name, your personal information, and your email address. 

Once submitted, Graphiant will provision your tenant, typically within 24 hours. 

5. Verify Your Tenant and Set Up Your Portal Access 

After provisioning, you’ll receive an email from Graphiant’s support team to verify your tenant and log in for the first time. Click the link in the email, and you’ll be prompted to set a password. After setting the password, log in to the portal using your email and password. 

6. Start Building Your Network 

Congratulations! You are now logged into the Graphiant portal, ready to begin connecting your branches, data centers, cloud resources, and even B2B partners. Graphiant’s scalable, flexible, and secure networking solution ensures that your enterprise can grow without worrying about traditional networking bottlenecks.
