Service Launch in New Hong Kong Data Center
Continues Execution of Global Reach™ Strategy
8x8, Inc. (NASDAQ:EGHT), a provider of cloud-based unified
communications, contact center and collaboration solutions, today
announced the completion of another milestone in its Global Reach
initiative with the launch of its services platform at a new Hong
Kong data center facility.
Collocated in a facility owned and operated by Pacnet, a leading
provider of managed data connectivity solutions, the new Asia
Pacific platform will provide services to 8x8’s growing mid-market,
multi-national customers, many of which manage “follow the sun”
call center operations. With the addition of this new facility, 8x8
now maintains data center infrastructure in five worldwide
locations, with the opening of additional facilities planned for
later this year.
“This new Asia Pacific footprint allows us to provide our
customers with operations in the region with the same reliable,
secure and high quality service they are accustomed to receiving
from 8x8 here in the US,” said 8x8 Senior Vice President of Network
Operations and Support Mehdi Salour. “These customers will gain the
strategic advantage of having their communications needs served
using the dynamic routing capabilities of our proprietary Geo
Routing technology which utilizes the shortest/best media path
based upon geographic location, ensuring optimal reliability and
call quality.”

unified communications and collaboration suite of services that, in
addition to replacing traditional solutions with more cost
effective, flexible alternatives, address critical challenges faced
