(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Telecommunications provider XO Communications (www.xo.com) announced on Tuesday it will partner with network carrier Hibernia Atlantic (www.hiberniaatlantic.com) to offer high-capacity circuits throughout the US and Europe.
The announcement follows Hibernia Atlantic’s recent partnership with Eircom to link its Clonshaugh, Ireland data center to the US and Canada via Hibernia’s trans-Atlantic submarine fiber optic cable.
The XO-Hibernia Atlantic collaboration will make use of the recent 1.6 Tbps nationwide expansion of XO’s ultra-long-haul network, which more than doubled the capacity of XO’s inter-city transport network.
This will provide users with high-capacity, high-speed connections to multiple cities throughout the United States, as well as Hibernia’s fast and secure transAtlantic cable crossings to expand XO’s IP network in Europe.
Hibernia Atlantic will also be provided with additional capacity across XO’s US network while XO benefits from the strength of Hibernia’s transAtlantic cable crossings, designed to avoid highly congested routes, such as around New York and London waterways.
“As we further expand our network within the US and globally, we have chosen to collaborate with companies like XO who share our common vision for the highest level of customer support and quality transport services,” says Eric Gutshall, EVP of sales and marketing for Hibernia Atlantic. “Over the past two years, XO has made substantial investments to enhance its long-haul and metropolitan infrastructure by expanding its network coverage and offering efficient connectivity with services such as its award-winning Ethernet hub; this is the crux of why we have selected XO at this time.”
The partnership between the two companies provides each with complementary network infrastructure reach.
With XO’s help, Hibernia has significantly extended its US network reach substantially, while Hibernia helps XO to further support its IP operations and peering infrastructure in London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Madrid, increasing its transAtlantic capacity by 30 percent.
