TWO MAJOR NETWORK OUTAGES IN 2018 – WILL WE SEE MORE?

TWO MAJOR NETWORK OUTAGES IN 2018 – WILL WE SEE MORE?

January 16, 2019

A major CenturyLink outage that quickly rippled nationwide knocked out services ranging from 9-1-1 call centers to ATMs just after Christmas. Now the FCC is investigating what caused the outage and how to prevent another one. Comcast suffered a similar massive, nationwide outage last June that left many customers without phone, Internet or cable for most of the day.

NJFX CEO Gil Santaliz says more of these outages are possible, because of the way legacy networks interconnect. The key to network operations is in diversity, resiliency, and redundancy. Global solutions require a new level of interconnectivity. Establishing access to interconnectivity hubs is how businesses will have the ability to safely control, monitor, maintain, and maximize the underlying network. By using these hubs in conjunction with advanced network orchestration, companies can insulate applications from isolation, vulnerability, and interruptions. If there is a hard cut or a fiber optic cable is damaged, traffic can be redirected. If there is congestion or concern of a breach, similar redirection of traffic can be accomplished.

Another aspect to consider is the age of subsea cables that connect continents. These cables first went to fiber optics at the dawn of the Internet. Many could be retired within the next few years. OTTs are taking note and building their own cable systems. Mr. Santaliz recently spoke to News 12 New Jersey, the state’s 24 cable news channel, about the newest international subsea cable system to make landfall in the United States.

See the report here:

The HAVFRUE transatlantic subsea cable system will land at the NJFX colocation campus, in Wall, New Jersey in Q4 of 2019. Constructed between New Jersey and Denmark, with a branch connection to Ireland and Norway, the HAVFRUE subsea cable is comprised of a consortium that includes Aqua Comms, Bulk Infrastructure, Google and Facebook. In just two decades, advances in subsea cable construction have resulted in HAVFRUE’s ability to deliver superior speed and lower latency design.

A respected subject matter expert, Mr. Santaliz will speak at an upcoming panel at one of the most prestigious and anticipated subsea events of the year, the Pacific Telecommunications Council conference, PTC. Also lending his speaking expertise, NJFX VP of Business Development, Roy Hilliard. Contact [email protected] to request a meeting with Mr. Santaliz or Mr. Hilliard.

SubCableNews Intervews NJFX CEO Gil Santaliz at Submarine Networks World 2018 in Singapore

At the recent Submarine Networks World 2018 event in Singapore, SubCableNews interviewed Gil Santaliz, Chief Executive Officer of NJFX.

November 27, 2018

SCN:
Congratulations to your recent news that the HAVFRUE Transatlantic Subsea Cable System will land at your Campus. There is no shortage of options for reaching submarine cable systems or data center providers that offer them on the East Coast. There are numerous cable landing stations in New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island, as well as in Massachusetts and Florida, connecting to Europe, Middle East, Africa, South America, and the Caribbean. What is the secret behind the success of NJFX to win over another cable system to terminate in your Campus?

SANTALIZ:
There a few variables to consider when landing a subsea cable in North America including:

Front Haul. The cost from the beach to a cable landing station can be expensive in a greenfield project, as well knowing that the route will be safe over time without unplanned delays in construction. At the NJFX Campus we have existing front haul owned by others to choose from, which have been proven over the last 20 years.

Elevation matters. Over the last several years storms have brought severe damage, not just from storm surge but also with historic rain. Our natural elevation of 60+ ft above sea level makes NJFX unique with the inclusion of a utility-owned substation on our campus. Reliable power, as well elevation make up some of the unique characteristics

SCN:
Which will be first – data center or subsea network – will data centers in the future dictate the landing points for subsea cables?

SANTALIZ:
Subsea landing points are not going away as they are the most travelled path for global data. NJFX allowed for economies of scale by making the landing point a carrier neutral Tier 3 location with a campus. Traditionally, this was a cost center for the subsea network which overtime was starved for cost savings. Our NJFX model makes for a robust network hub where subsea systems meet diverse multiple fiber backhaul carriers. This enables diversity and a competitive market place for everyone. Every participant gets better ROI, especially the early adopters which have unique assets the market can monetize.

SCN:
What is the cost benefit of terminating in data centers over traditional cable landing stations?

SANTALIZ:
A data center is a different standard of construction, which allows for concurrently maintained systems to provide 99.9999 availability. Traditionally, a CLS could lose power and rely on the other side of the cable to support the system operation or might have a sister cable which could manage an outage, so the investment might not be there in developing the site. Our scalable campus started with phase 1 of 6 in our Tier 3 facility with room for operationally independent facilities for others that could want to peer, cache data, establish independent CLS options or additional colocation for latency sensitive applications.

SCN:
The landing of submarine cables in the US have recently shifted towards Virginia, do you see that as a healthy competition or is NJFX planning to invest in other data centers at other landing sites?

SANTALIZ:
Balancing networks are important and NJFX is a great partner. Today, Virginia Beach only has one non carrier-neutral CLS where they are working with 2 subsea cables, which should also be represented at NJFX. Our carriers should look at protecting their capacity through Virginia Beach and Long Island as alternate transatlantic crossings. What is irresponsible is to tether to a CLS from a distant carrier hotel to multiple CLS’s and create a single point of failure – miles away from the real HUB, the CLS Campus. NYC and Miami have already shown us the vulnerabilities of this type of configuration.

SCN:
Will OTT’s not operate or build their own data centers/interconnection facilities – or will they always outsource this to companies like NJFX?

SANTALIZ:
Again, being carrier-neutral we can take advantage of creating communities of interest with economies of scale in a way others can’t.

SCN:
Is the NJFX model unique? Or could that be transferred to other parts of the World?

SANTALIZ:
We hope to see other countries take advantage of our concept. In fairness, Interxion has led this effort successfully in Marseille over the last few years and Djibouti Data Center in Africa are also moving in this direction.

SCN:
What does the future hold for NJFX, what are plans to grow with this very dynamic industry?

SANTALIZ:
The peering community is our next focus as peering has always been local. Our neighboring metro is NYC of which we hope to offer a diverse play for that community at the NJ Shore with unrivalled capacity and wholesale rates. Our campus can support additional colocation facilities – again purpose built to provide the interconnection model of the future globally local.

What Happens When Subsea Cables Reach Their End of Life?

NJFX Blog / NJFX

What Happens When Subsea Cables Reach Their End of Life?

November 19, 2018

Private global networks for multinational companies are based on promised physical network diversity. If pushed for additional clarity, maybe a KMZ, route map or subsea cable listing would be provided. This is a solid approach but is only good for that specific time and that specific setup. There are thousands of miles of subsea cables bridging the gap between you and your colleague in Brazil, or your leadership team in London, or the data center that is hosting the app you just launched. Today, with our aging subsea system and technology like MPLS becoming old-school with SDN platforms reducing costs and increasing performance, traditional carriers need to educate their Enterprise customers on a new reality in terms of local and global network diversity.

The majority of the cables in the Atlantic Ocean were put into service between 2000 and 2001. Like most things, subsea cables have a shelf life. And unlike wine, they do not get more expensive with age, quite the opposite. It becomes more difficult to financially support repairs and although there is less available capacity, new customers are brought on at much lower price points. The result is a cable’s retirement depends on both being physically operational and on the costs associated with continuing to operate it. Financially, this countdown usually begins around 20 years while physically, the cable and electronics are manufactured to last about 25 years.

So, what all of this means is that we are on the verge of a massive shift for Atlantic subsea cables, an event Telegeography recently called “the next mass extinction”. This is truly an event that has not been seen before and one that will create choke points throughout the northeast as well as possibly isolate legacy network hand off-points.

Can Your Network Survive?

When the latest upgrade of cable systems was completed nearly 20 years ago, smartphones barely existed. The bandwidth needs were there, but the amount of access points and demands were served by multiple systems. The bandwidth players had redundancy built across these cable systems to support their needs. However, bandwidth growth and demands have surged. Cisco Global 2020 Forecast predicts global Internet traffic will be 5.3 exabytes a day by 2020. In perspective, this means that global internet traffic will be the equivalent of 55 million DVDs per hour.

This anticipated growth is staggering. One of the ways the industry is addressing this growth is through new subsea cables. Nigel Bayliff, CEO for Aqua Comms and a longtime industry leader says, “Fifteen years ago, there were seven to eight cables that were built, and those cables were part of a massive oversupply to the requirements of the day. Pricing for the building of cables shot through the roof.” While this left an oversupply in the market at the time, all of that is coming to an end due to the massive amounts of bandwidth demands and requirements of enterprises, carriers, Over-the-Top (OTT) providers, financial firms, government entities and other high capacity organizations. Aqua Comms is part of a consortium operating a new cable, named HAVFRUE/AEC-2, that will have 18-20 terabits of capacity per fiber pair. Compared to the existing cables which were approximately 5 terabits, the new cable will more than handle all the jeopardized capacity. Additionally, 10G has been the standard for US based multinational banks and now some of those banks’ engineers are asking the hard questions such as, “How do I get to the CLS, can I cost effectively get my own dark fiber and pick my subsea cable access at 100g or 400G and fast?!” Banks are also looking at how operations might change if bandwidth is no longer an issue inside the network in the US and globally, when it comes big data applications.

Collateral Damage from the Subsea Shift

As an established financial hub, New York has long been the center of the universe for telecommunications. It makes sense, when you think about the numerous cable landing stations that are on Long Island. It’s a vast data center landscape with other subsea systems having their hand-off points in the city. Yet although a subsea system may land in, say New Jersey, customers were only able to access the system from legacy carrier handoffs, or PoPs. As these new cables become ready for service, they are driving another shift, which is away from legacy landing points and bandwidth handoffs. NJFX in Wall, New Jersey is a perfect example. The site was chosen as the landing point by the consortium which operates HAVFRUE in large part due to NJFX’s location, which is far enough outside New York to avoid congestion. NJFX offers route diversity to the rest of the country and most importantly provides Tier 3 data center options right at the actual cable landing.

There is a Bright Future

All of this activity and shifting has forced an evolution, a sea change. It coincides with most examples of old ways of doing business being surpassed with a new approach. The tricky part is the timing of cable retirement is harder to predict. What is not difficult to see is that there are new cables with great capability coming online. These cables interconnect at improved hubs with partners that have network elements up and running and able to provision in near real time securely and efficiently. This extinction is not an end, but rather a new beginning for what is sure to prove out to be a much stronger model.

New Jersey is the Gateway to the World: A Week in Review at NJFX

November 15, 2018

NJFX hosted events this week centered around connecting the world with infrastructure, new technology, and new partners through the interconnected hub at the Wall, New Jersey Tier 3 CLS colocation campus. The direct subsea cable landings and a host of partners to address domestic as well as cloud connectivity drove this week’s discussions.

The week started with another edition of the C-Forum with a discussion centered on China connectivity options. China Unicom America, the world’s fourth-largest mobile service provider discussed leveraging NJFX’s carrier neutral data center and global interconnection capabilities for low latency, Alibaba cloud connections, as well as mobile and voice. NJFX is uniquely positioned to offer China Unicom and other AsiaPac carriers, financial firms, and telecoms an east coast gateway and serve as a major hub of best in breed services including end-to end SD WAN, blockchain, and secure cloud access through its many service provider clients. Located on the edge of domestic and international networks and subsea cables, NJFX enables enterprises, financials and carriers to utilize direct routing, eliminate single points of failure and avoid typical network congestion points.

“Global communication providers require not only secure and reliable infrastructure, but also the agile framework in which to leverage leading technology,” comments Gil Santaliz, CEO and Founder of NJFX. “To stay competitive, its essential to obtain the reach, low latency access and flexibility to power critical applications, and NJFX’s award-winning data center provides the foundation for telecommunication and subsea cable providers to do just that.”

Through NJFX, a company can establish a presence on the U.S. east coast and can gain access to three (soon to be five) subsea cables, implement core operations, and back-up infrastructures. China Unicom America and others can also leverage NJFX’s efficient pathway to South America via Seabras-1, the first direct route between São Paulo and New York and lands at NJFX’s CLS facility

Opening direct access from NJFX CLS to Alibaba and other cloud providers is key for the new connectivity models needed to support enterprise applications. These new models were on display during the Silicon Shores event which NJFX hosted for the NJ Tech Council. A wide variety of enterprises and providers discussed the changes in subsea network options, resiliency, and SDWAN solutions. Our key partner, Epsilon demonstrated the Infiny platform to the group, displaying how on-demand networking is a reality and the advantages it has across industries.

NJFX’s unique ecosystem of partners bring together inter-exchanging capacity and capabilities to enable new solutions including exploring blockchain technology through Open Crypto Trust. The focus is always to enable:

Increased resiliency
Lower latencies
Increased access to higher speed connectivity
Increased capacity options
Removal of single points of failure

All of this is essential for spurring new technologies, innovative ways of communicating and making things happen globally.

NJFX also hosted the New Jersey Tech Council earlier this week, for NJTC’s signature event “Silicon Shore”, bringing together business and tech leaders on the NJFX campus. New Jersey has long been a center of innovation and tech advancement from the days of Bell Labs, where the first fiber optics were created. The New Jersey Tech Council has a simple vision, to create a vibrant and connected business community in the tech sector, and Santaliz agrees. “New Jersey has a great deal of untapped potential at the moment. The infrastructure is here, the resources are here to make the epicenter of global connectivity, right here in New Jersey.”

NJFX 2018: A Year of Milestones in Connectivity

Ryan Imkemeier Explains the Importance of Equipment Maintenance, Vendor Relationships, Electrical Distribution & Managing the Team

October 22, 2018

NJFX, the only CLS colocation campus in the U.S offering Tier 3, carrier-neutral data center capabilities with direct access to three subsea cable systems, marks a year of unprecedented growth, highlighted by the announcement that the latest transatlantic subsea cable system, HAVFRUE, will land at its Tier 3 CLS campus. HAVFRUE is just the most recent project involving NJFX that increases subsea capacity, North American and indeed, global connectivity.

In addition to the HAVFRUE cable system consortium partners choosing NJFX as its landing point, a new cable directly connecting NJFX in Wall Township, NJ to Shirley, NY, owned and operated by Crosslake Fibre, was the first subsea cable announced between these two points to entirely bypass congested legacy routes in lower Manhattan. “With a total of three subsea cables, soon to be five, coming into its colocation campus, NJFX is rivalling any location in terms of having a vast amount of subsea cable capacity in one place, and a vibrant and growing ecosystem of submarine cables,” adds Santaliz.

Other milestone developments include large carriers choosing NJFX as an interconnection point to fortify and expand their communications networks. Earlier this year, Sparkle invested in half of the Seabras-1 subsea cable, terminating at NJFX and Sao Paulo, Brazil, and and in doing so developed a closed ring creating diverse routes and secure, high capacity networks to meet exponential bandwidth demand. The routes bypass two huge, single points of failure: New York and Miami. “Sparkle solved a problem that has plagued the industry for more than 10 years. The company now offers a complete, diverse wet route all the way down to Miami. Now someone in Ashburn, VA can reach the Caribbean without going through Manhattan. The company has also found a way to get to the Caribbean and South America and bypass Miami and New York – completely avoiding two traditional pain points,” stated Santaliz.

Similarly, Zayo can now offer low-latency connectivity from the U.S. to key financial centers in Europe, South America and Asia. Zayo has established a point of presence in the NJFX’s Tier 3 data center, providing direct access to the subsea cable systems and local fiber providers that terminate in the data center. “Our vision is to provide a ‘one stop shop’ for customers who want to trade globally, alleviating the need to work with different vendors in each region they are operating,” said Brandon Gouin, general manager of Spread Networks by Zayo. “The expanded global capability extends and strengthens our unique value proposition in the financial marketplace.”

Next, NJFX partnered with Windstream Wholesale to expand its core network into NJFX’s international landing station. The Windstream/NJFX deal will expand Windstream’s capacity to major data center markets. Windstream especially called attention to the impact the move will have on capacity in Ashburn, VA and the Newark, N.J./New York City metro area.

“This buildout with its connections to Wall Township, N.J., will provide enterprises, international carriers and content providers fast access from our coast-to-coast network to major subsea cable systems,” said Joe Scattareggia, executive vice president of Wholesale at Windstream Enterprise and Wholesale. “Our network expansion strategy also includes easy access to other international networks through our links in Texas and South Florida and to Asia Pacific cable systems on the West Coast.”

NJFX’s purpose built 64,000 square foot Tier 3 facility went live in September of 2016, with racing legend Mario Andretti on hand as the company started revving its engines. Less than one year later, it’s clear NJFX is speeding toward innovation. In 2017, the company announced a 48-acre campus expansion. The flexible site plan includes a new, 80,000 square foot data center and premium disaster recovery space that will sit adjacent to NJFX’s current Tier 3 facility – just 60 miles from New York City – with access to a plethora of global communication providers. The space will also be able to accommodate future independent cable landing stations and/or independent data centers.

NJFX is proud to provide diversity, security, low-latency and a vast carrier ecosystem. “Route diversity is paramount to telecom providers. Our rich carrier ecosystem without recurring fees for cross connects goes a long way to further ensure these providers aren’t single threaded and exposed,” said Santaliz. “We have demonstrated tremendous value to our customers with the ability to interconnect to major international subsea networks complimented by terrestrial networks in the U.S.”
