Business Wire
Hibernia Atlantic, the only diverse transAtlantic
submarine transport cable provider, and Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq:
EQIX), a provider of global data center services, today announced
the expansion of its Global Financial Network (GFN) into the
Equinix New York-2 (NY2) and New York-4 (NY4) International
Business Exchange (IBX®) data centers in Secaucus, New Jersey. This
expansion further drives Hibernia Atlantic’s redundancy within the
New York metro area and reinforces the company’s commitment to
provide reliable connectivity to its financial customers, bypassing
major congestion points located within major metro city centers.
This link into Equinix Financial eXchange, a neutral electronic
marketplace of active market participants located in the NY2 and
NY4 centers, is also a much-desired route for financial exchange
traffic, moving from Chicago to Secaucus (bypassing Manhattan when
and if necessary) and across the Atlantic Ocean to Slough, UK
(bypassing London when and if necessary as well).
With five different dark fiber providers across New York metro
as well as 13 network Points of Presence (PoPs) now in the New York
metro region, Hibernia’s GFN is one of the most resilient, reliable
and fastest best-of-breed networks serving the financial community
in the metropolitan area and beyond. Hibernia’s GFN, built upon
24,000 Kilometers of fiber optic cable, is layered over Hibernia
Atlantic’s diverse fiber optic network that reaches key financial
cities including Toronto, Montreal, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia,
Stamford, Weehawken, Secaucus, Newark, White Plains, New York,
Frankfurt, Reading and London. Hibernia’s GFN uniquely meets the
demanding performance and reliability requirements of the global
financial community, by providing fast, active service, low-latency
and high performance network connectivity.
“Hibernia’s new Secaucus PoPs are based in Equinix’s high
quality, advanced design facilities that offer financial customers
a full range of scalable services, including colocation,
interconnection, support and monitoring. The new PoPs extend
Hibernia’s GFN into Equinix Financial eXchange in the NY2 and NY4
centers,” said John Knuff, director, Business Development for
Equinix. Equinix Financial eXchange is an established community of
execution venues, buy and sell side firms, and technology utilities
that have located at Equinix’s high-performance data centers.
“Our continued GFN expansion in New York metro and in other
major financial centers reflects our core commitment to provide
‘security through diversity’—our company philosophy that offers
world-class, redundant solutions to our financial customers,”
continues Bob McMann, VP of Provisioning and Procurement. “As
always, we are committed to finding innovative ways to provide
quality, diverse routes, low latency, and rapid provisioning to
meet the demanding performance and reliability requirements of the
financial community.”
