Hurricane Electric‘s newest PoP is a second one with Digital Realty at their San Francisco facility, Digital 365 Main. From the article:
Fremont, California-based Hurricane Electric added a second Point-of-Presence (PoP) at Digital Realty Trust‘s 365 Main, implementing network expansion in a well-known colocation data center in San Francisco. The PoP adds Hurricane’s connectivity options in the Bay Area, including 10 and 100 gigabit Ethernet services. Hurricane operates two colocation data centers of its own in the Bay Area as well.
This is the second network expansion in San Francisco for Hurricane Electric this year. The company added a PoP at Telx’s SFR1 data center at 200 Paul (also owned by Digital Realty) earlier this year.
“The addition of a second PoP at Digital 365 Main represents both a strategic network expansion for Hurricane Electric and also an opportunity for customers and networks in the San Francisco Bay Area,” said Mike Leber, president of Hurricane Electric. “In addition, this new PoP will provide customers of Digital 365 Main with reduced router hops and improved quality in the delivery of next generation IP.”
The 365 Main facility currently contains 8,600 kW of critical IT capacity and services early, middle-market and Fortune 1000 corporations.
European exchange operator AMS-IX (Amsterdam Internet Exchange) recently established a PoP in the Digital 365 Main data center. At the time of opening, AMS-IX Bay Area had written commitments from a handful of parties and verbal commitments from about 15 more to peer in San Francisco.
Hurricane Electric’s global Internet backbone is IPv6-native and does not rely on internal tunnels for IPv6 connectivity. The company provides both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity.
