(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Colocation provider and Internet backbone carrier Hurricane Electric (www.he.com) announced on Wednesday it has established a point-of-presence within The Pittock Internet Exchange in Portland.
The announcement comes a couple weeks after Hurricane Electric established a PoP within the Phoenix NAP facility.
“Hurricane Electric’s new point-of-presence will give users of Pittock’s facility the ability to access directly Hurricane Electric’s unsurpassed connectivity solutions to meet the most demanding of transit needs,” says Martin Levy, Hurricane Electric’s director of IPv6 Strategy. “Over the next couple of months, Hurricane Electric will continue to establish PoPs throughout Asia, Europe and the United States.”
Hurricane Electric also offers enterprises free IPv6 certification and tunnel broker service.
The company provides IPv6 as a core service to all customers, along with classic IPv4 connectivity.
It connects to more than 900 associated IPv6 backbones, offering IPv4 and IPv6 transit solutions over the same connection at speeds up to 10 Gbps or more.
With its own global network, the company has 45 major exchange points with connectivity to more than 1,500 different networks.
Using resilient fiber topology, Hurricane Electric has at least four redundant paths crossing North America, two separate paths between the US and Europe, and rings in Europe and Asia.
