Hibernia Atlantic Deploys Network Points of Presence Within Equinix IBX Data Centers
2008-04-04
The transatlantic cable provider offers full Ethernet transport to Equinix
customers
Summit, NJ and Foster City, CA — April 2, 2008 — Hibernia Atlantic, the
only diverse TransAtlantic submarine transport cable provider, and Equinix, Inc.
(Nasdaq: EQIX), the leading global provider of network-neutral data centers and
Internet exchange services, today announced that Hibernia will provide Ethernet
transport services to the aggregation of companies operating within Equinix
Internet Business Exchange (IBX®) centers in the Chicago, Frankfurt, New York
and Washington, D.C. area markets.
The news is particularly relevant to global financial institutions, large
corporations and major carriers that would like to migrate their networks to
reliable and cost effective Ethernet transport. Hibernia’s Transparent and Layer
1 GigE service provides SDH performance with full Ethernet functionality. The
service will provide an additional network option for the aggregation of
companies operating within Equinix’s network-neutral data centers, specifically
the financial industry customers participating in the Equinix Financial eXchange
service. This service provides a highly resilient and low-latency platform for
financial trading exchange companies to interconnect with each other and
multiple service providers.
“Equinix gives Hibernia a competitive advantage when it comes to diverse
carrier-neutral sites,” states Eric Gutshall, Executive Vice President of Sales
and Marketing for Hibernia Atlantic. “Our customers can logically decide to
bypass major metro congestion points that continue to be failure points within
most common designed networks. Cable cuts, routing and landing points in Asia
Pacific and the Middle East should wake up network design architects to the
reality of our world. Equinix’s aggregation of networks and financial trading
companies gives Hibernia a superior edge to the common, customary carrier route
designs of yesterday.”
“Our Financial eXchange community approach provides financial organisations with
secure, reliable and low latency connectivity to global financial trading
centres as well as the speed and proximity to global execution venues that
algorithmic and alternative trading strategies increasingly rely upon,” added
Petrina Steele, Equinix’s Vice President for Business Development in Europe.
In addition to proximity services that offer direct market access to major
trading exchanges, Equinix also provides its Financial eXchange community
members with the high levels of connectivity they need to access the growing
number of multiple trading venues they need to connect with in today’s post
MiFID and Reg NMS environments.
“Equinix already provides direct access to more than 300 networks. We are
delighted to strengthen our connectivity offering with the Hibernia Ethernet
solution. Hibernia Atlantic distinguishes itself from other submarine transport
providers by its geographic diversity, but also by its continuous responsiveness
to the demands of the marketplace,” concludes Petrina.
