Service across the New Cross Pacific subsea
cable begins in late 2017
NANOG -- ViaWest announced that later this year it will begin
offering access to the New Cross Pacific subsea cable, the fastest
low-latency, fiber-optic cable between the United States and
Asia.
Directly terminating in ViaWest’s Brookwood Data Center in
Hillsboro, Ore., this high capacity subsea cable will significantly
reduce the latency between the United States and Asia, delivering
up to 80 terabits per second of capacity between the Northwestern
U.S. and East Asia in order to improve access to the high-growth
region spanning China, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea.
“ViaWest is pleased to offer a direct connection to the newest
undersea cable of its kind to businesses in the U.S. seeking high
speed access to Asia and vice versa,” said Tim Parker, Vice
President of Network Services for ViaWest. “Most existing undersea
cables are at full capacity. This provides a new, optimized route,
or potentially a redundant route, for companies that require
additional capacity.”
The NCP cable is expected to serve as the foundation for new
bandwidth-intensive services that businesses require today. It is
owned by a consortium of seven member companies including a large
U.S.-based company and six Asian telecommunications providers. With
the U.S. connection point terminating at the ViaWest Brookwood Data
Center, the cable will use the latest optical amplifier technology
to achieve high performance and reliability in the transmission of
multiple wavelength channel signals, on multiple fiber pairs, to
mainland China, South Korea, Taiwan and Japan.
“This service is available not only to ViaWest clients but also
to those of other Hillsboro-area data centers,” said Bill Cory,
Regional Vice President at ViaWest. “As a member of the Hillsboro
Data Center Ring, ViaWest will offer metro cross-connects to the
NCP cable from four other data centers on the Ring. Likewise, our
access to the Ring enables ViaWest to offer direct access to
hyperscale public cloud solutions. Through the NCP cable connection
and Hillsboro Data Center Ring membership, we believe that our
Brookwood Data Center is among the most connected data centers in
the U.S.”
