Due to go live before the end of the year, the 5,400km route spans Long Island, New York and the west coast of Ireland. Equinix's New York and London International Business Exchange (IBX) data centre campuses will serve as carrier-neutral access points for AquaComms to connect its low latency subsea cable route. "Responding to the demand AquaComms is seeing for high capacity, high reliability connectivity between North America and Europe, we made a strategic decision to deploy with Equinix," said Greg Varisco, chief operating officer at AquaComms. "Their data centres in New York and London act as major international hubs for network traffic offering our customers the ability to extend existing networks or expand into new markets."
