Hibernia Atlantic Connects to Interxion's Dublin Data Center
24 May 2011 - 10:00PM
Business Wire
Hibernia Atlantic, the only diverse transatlantic high bandwidth
connectivity provider, announced today that its high capacity fibre
optic cable system is now connected to Interxion’s newest data
centre, DUB2, located in Dublin, Ireland. The new high capacity
link offers the only direct, submarine cable to connect North
America to Ireland. This high performance connectivity also
provides access throughout Ireland, and to and from mainland Europe
and North America, allowing for local and global commerce
opportunities.
Interxion, a leading European provider of carrier-neutral
colocation data centre services, operates 28 carrier-neutral data
centres located across 11 European countries. Interxion clients now
have access to the only diverse network route linking Europe, the
United States and Canada.
“The Hibernia network is a natural draw for companies with a
requirement for high capacity bandwidth, such as content delivery
providers, social media engines and cloud service providers, who
command as much as ten-plus Gigabit Ethernet connections to ensure
their IT infrastructure is always available,” states Arjan de Haan,
acting MD of Interxion. “Our secure facilities were specifically
designed to support mission-critical applications and ICT
Infrastructure. Hibernia’s diverse, fast connectivity is another
true value-add for our clients, who are looking for both bandwidth
capacity to cope with large volumes of data and high performance
when transporting their business critical information within
Ireland or abroad.”
As part of the ongoing efforts to invest more in Ireland,
Hibernia Atlantic first built its network into Ireland as part of
the Project Kelvin deployment, a government-funded submarine and
terrestrial cable build that now directly connects Ireland to North
America. To further enhance its lowest latency connections,
Hibernia Atlantic also recently announced a historic, new
transatlantic cable build, called Project Express. Once completed,
this will be the lowest latency, transatlantic connection from New
York to London with sub 60 ms speed.
The initiative is to provide local and global commerce
opportunities between Ireland and the rest of the world, offering
local and global businesses access to secure, ultra low latency
capacity. The new Hibernia Atlantic link into the Interxion DUB2
facility specifically caters to North American corporations in
Ireland and foreign investment organisations that require the
fastest routes into and throughout Ireland. In addition, it
delivers further network diversity and business opportunity to all
who colocate with Interxion at DUB2 and to all who can access the
Hibernia transatlantic network.
“Hibernia Atlantic's new network deployments, such as this one
into Interxion's Dublin facility, further stimulate growth to the
region and attract additional investments,” states Fergus Innes, VP
of Sales, EMEA of Hibernia Atlantic. “We are proud of the
relationship with Interxion and in adding value to its carrier
neutral data centre offering, in Ireland and abroad.”
