Hurricane Electric Adds Two More Points Of Presence at Digital Realty In Saint Louis
Demand for high-quality internet bandwidth drives company’s latest expansion.
Hurricane Electric has announced that it has added two new Points of Presence (PoP) at Digital Realty facilities located at 210 North Tucker Boulevard and 900 Walnut Street in Saint Louis, MO. The 210 North Tucker Boulevard building features a robust power architecture that delivers 3.9 MW of critical IT capacity and provides customers with multi-rack and cage configurations ranging from 2 kW to over 1 MW. The sister facilities are linked via dark fiber.
Hurricane Electric’s expansion into the Midwest is in response to high consumer demand for improved fault tolerance, lower latency and increased network capacity through 100GE (100 gigabit Ethernet), 10GE (10 gigabit Ethernet), GigE (1 gigabit Ethernet) and 100BaseT network connections. Additionally, customers at the new Saint Louis PoPs now have the opportunity to exchange IP traffic, or “peer,” with Hurricane Electric’s high-speed global network.
