(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Data center and Internet exchange services provider Switch and Data (www.switchanddata.com) announced on Monday that Hibernia Atlantic’s (www.hiberniaatlantic.com) Internet exchange platform, Global Financial Network, has become part of Switch and Data’s GeoReach Program in North Bergen, New Jersey.
The announcement follows last month’s partnership between XO Communications and Hibernia Atlantic that expanded high-capacity circuits throughout the US and Europe.
Hibernia’s GFN is a Trans-Atlantic fiber network dedicated to global capital markets across all the US, Canada, Europe and the Pacific Rim, connecting hundreds of financial exchanges and global banks.
The network provides secure and redundant fiber connectivity to multiple facilities in strategic locations so that financial customers can access multiple providers with one single point of connectivity, says Switch and Data.
“As a part of Switch and Data’s GeoReach Program, we will be able to provide further connectivity throughout North America and Europe from Switch and Data’s New York EcoCenter in North Bergen,” says Joe Hilt, VP of sales for North America at Hibernia Atlantic GFN. “Our network will provide the companies colocated there with low-latency and secure global connectivity, all with one dedicated point-to-point service. Additionally, Hibernia offers industry-leading rapid installation, notably five days from signature to service, guaranteed. Our GFN platform combines operational excellence and innovative engineering to provide speed and accuracy to the financial community.”
The GeoReach program is comprised of a select group of providers whose networks meet the needs of the high-frequency trading community.
GeoReach members have engineered optimal paths from Switch and Data’s Financial EcoCenters to each of the regional liquidity providers to meet the requirements of the most latency-sensitive infrastructures.
Last month, dark fiber networks provider Lexent Metro Connect joined Switch and Data’s GeoReach program.
