(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Submarine transport cable provider Hibernia Atlantic (www.hiberniaatlantic.com) and data center operator Equinix (www.equinix.com) announced on Tuesday that Hibernia Atlantic has expanded its Global Financial Network (www.hiberniagfn.com) into the Equinix New York-2 and New York-4 International Business Exchange data centers in Secaucus, New Jersey.
The move extends Hibernia Atlantic's previous expansion of its network into Equinix's LD4 London Slough International Business Exchange data center.
It will also drive Hibernia Atlantic's redundancy within the New York metro area, as well as provide greater reliable connectivity to Hibernia Atlantic's financial customers by bypassing major congestion points located within major metro city centers.
The link into Equinix Financial eXchange offers an effective route for financial exchange traffic, moving from Chicago to Secaucus -- bypassing Manhattan when necessary -- and across the Atlantic Ocean to Slough, UK, bypassing London when necessary.
Hibernia GFN has five different dark fiber providers across New York metro and 13 network points of presence in the New York metro region, making it one of the most resilient, reliable and fastest best-of-breed networks serving the financial community, says the company.
Built upon nearly 15,000 miles of fiber optic cable, Hibernia's GFN is layered over the company's diverse fiber optic network, reaching key financial cities including Toronto, Montreal, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Stamford, Weehawken, Secaucus, Newark, White Plains, New York, Frankfurt, Reading and London.
Through its fast, active service, low-latency and high performance network connectivity, Hibernia's GFN meets the demanding performance and reliability requirements of the global financial community, says the company.
"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," says John Knuff, director of business development for Equinix. "The new PoPs extend Hibernia's GFN into Equinix Financial eXchange in the NY2 and NY4 centers."

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
