US-based global internet backbone operator Hurricane Electric has opened a PoP at SFR Netcenter in Marseille, France. The new PoP will give customers in Southern France greater bandwidth and reduced latency through 100BaseT, 1GigE, 10 GPS and 100 GE service. Additionally, customers of SFR Netcenter will benefit from improved fault tolerance, load balancing and congestion management infrastructure capabilities for the delivery of both IPv4 and IPv6 access services. SFR Netcenter customers will also be able to exchange traffic with Hurricane Electric’s global network.
