Hurricane Electric Extends Global Presence In Equinix
Largest IPv6 backbone company now available in 17 Equinix IBXs worldwide to ensure Internet infrastructure stays ahead of rapid data growth and the emergence of the Internet of Things.
Equinix, Inc. has announced that Hurricane Electric is extending its global IPv4 and IPv6 network to Equinix International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data centers in Asia and Europe. This expands Hurricane Electric's global footprint to a total of 17 IBX deployments in anticipation of rapid global Internet traffic growth and the widespread migration to IPv6 as the Internet of Things becomes fully realized.
"Hurricane Electric has seen a number of massive changes to Internet infrastructure over the years, and has negotiated this consistent need for rapid scalability through our data center strategy. Today, we are finally on the true cusp of a widespread migration to IPv6, which we have prepared for with our latest IBX deployments. We are live in 22 countries now, many through Equinix, and look forward to realizing our goal of being present in 100 countries by continuing to proliferate our offerings through strategic collocations," said Mike Leber, president, Hurricane Electric.
