2009-05-20
SUMMIT, NJ, DUBLIN, IRELAND & LONDON, ENGLAND – May 20, 2009- Hibernia
Atlantic, the largest, privately held and only diverse TransAtlantic submarine
transport cable provider and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Columbia Ventures
Corporation and Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), a provider of global data center
services, today announced that Hibernia Atlantic has expanded its network into
Equinix’s LD4 London Slough International Business Exchange (IBX®) data center.
This new Point of Presence (POP) extends Hibernia Atlantic’s footprint in the
London area and reiterates the company’s commitment to providing redundant,
reliable connectivity solutions by-passing major congestion points generally
located within major metro city centers. This POP also extends Hibernia’s Global
Financial Network (GFN), into Equinix Financial eXchange, a neutral electronic
marketplace consisting of active financial market participants, which is located
within the LD4 center.
The GFN is layered over Hibernia Atlantic’s diverse fiber optic network reaching
key financial cities including Toronto, Montreal, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia,
Stamford, Weehawken, Secaucus, Newark, White Plains, New York, Frankfurt,
Reading and London. It is specifically designed to meet the demanding
performance and reliability requirements of the global financial community by
providing fast, active service, low-latency and high performance network
connectivity.
Within the LD4 data center, the GFN will have a direct connection to Equinix
Financial eXchange’s established community of execution venues, buy and sell
side firms, market data providers and technology utilities, that have located at
Equinix’s high performance data center to access the widest choice of
low-latency networks and to directly exchange data with strategic partners and
customers in close proximity. The high quality, advanced design LD4 facility
offers financial customers a full range of scalable services, including
colocation, interconnection, support and monitoring.
“Equinix’s facility provides Hibernia Atlantic, and the GFN, the ability to
offer additional network options to the global financial community already
benefiting from Equinix’s Financial eXchange platform,” commented Joe Hilt, Vice
President of Sales for North America. “The GFN provides flexible solutions,
including dedicated Packet over SONET (POS), on Hibernia’s 24,000 kilometer
low-latency, resilient network.”
“This expansion marks Hibernia’s presence in five Equinix data centers in the US
and Europe,” added Petrina Steele, Equinix’s Vice President for Business
Development in Europe. “Hibernia Atlantic’s TransAtlantic cable system, which
has a reputation for providing a redundant, diverse route from traditional
networks, will bring value to our Financial eXchange community that requires
secure, reliable connectivity to the financial hubs around the world.”
“We are committed to providing quality services, quickly,” continued Joe Hilt.
“By choosing Equinix’s LD4 facility in London Slough, we can now offer
installation within five days from signature to service or one month free
guaranteed.”
