Red Sea Conflict Threatens Key Internet Cables – WSJ
Red Sea conflict threatens Key Internet Cables. Maritime attacks complicate repairs on underwater cables that carry the world’s web traffic.
November 20, 2016
NJFX today opens the doors to its brand new 64,800-aquare-foot, Tier 3, carrier-neutral data center that intersects where subsea cables from around the globe meet. This marks the expansion of the colocation campus, as NJFX has operated the exclusive carrier-neutral Meet-Me-Room (MMR) inside Tata Communications cable landing station (CLS) in Wall, New Jersey for the past year. The facility breaks the traditional communications infrastructure mold and redefines proximity thanks to direct interconnection.
Cable operators don’t traditionally allow network operators into CLS facilities. NJFX’s strategic location tackles this obstacle by being located immediately next door to Tata Communications’ CLS with 250 conduits connecting the two buildings. This enables unparalleled connectivity thanks to the resulting direct access to subsea and terrestrial cables that offer global, low latency interconnectivity.
The ability to interconnect at the cable-head not only redefines proximity by eliminating the need for traditional backhaul, but also puts control back in the hands of the customers.
