KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 4 (Bernama) — Hurricane Electric has launched its second Point of Presence (PoP) at Global Switch Singapore, one of the premier data centers in Southeast Asia located at 2 Tai Seng Avenue, Singapore.

Global Switch Singapore is a major PoP that provide access to all sub-sea cable systems landing on the island, said Hurricane Electric, the world’s largest IPv6-native Internet backbone, in a statement issued Tuesday in Singapore.

The modern facility also employs eight cooling towers that provide 1,000m2 watts as well as advanced security and fire protection.

Hurricane Electric’s newest PoP also provides either copper or fiber Internet connections via copper 10/100/1000 base T or fiber at 850nm (multimode), 1310nm or 1550nm (singlemode). Ultimately, Hurricane Electric employs a resilient fiber-optic topology that enables customers to experience improved fault tolerance and lower latency.

Having deployed IPv6 in 2001, Hurricane Electric was one of the first companies to recognize the size and speed advantages that this protocol offers to the business community.

“Already established in 20 US states and 22 countries around the world, Hurricane Electric is delighted to strengthen its international footprint with a new Point of Presence at Global Switch Singapore, our fifth in East Asia,” said Mike Leber, President of Hurricane Electric.
