NJFX Weighs in on Scaling Content Delivery at Virtual Summit

The online event is a confluence of the technology and business that enables online publishers to reach audiences at scale

May 4, 2020

In this brave new virtual world, even the less than tech-savvy are finding the need to embrace a digital way of life. Whether it is a video conference, telehealth appointment or virtual classroom, companies and even individual Americans, are diving into an accelerated digital transformation of their lives. Just a few months ago, commuters caused highways to fill bumper to bumper with cars. Today, the traffic jams are on the internet, with spikes and increases in usage, all being delivered on home ISPs versus robust on-site infrastructure complete with an IT department.

The challenge has been providing that enterprise-level of connectivity to a home-based workforce. Secondarily, is the increased traffic in entertainment services, gaming, streaming, and the like, due to stay home directives. Both will no doubt be a major topic of discussion at the Content Delivery Summit.

The one-day Content Delivery Summit is “a featured online event at Streaming Media East Connect 2020”. The Summit serves as a unique opportunity for infrastructure leaders at all layers of the internet “stack”, to meet. Goals include ensuring alignment and attaining a complete picture of the largest distributed compute networks and service platforms in the world.

NJFX General Manager Felix Seda will be part of the panel that builds off the keynote address and kicks off the day. According to the event agenda, “the session will focus on the real-world availability of the fundamental infrastructure services that underpin all CDN operations, as well as the complexities to consider when deploying POPs around the world.”

The panel includes:

Moderator: Dom Robinson, Director and Creative Firestarter, id3as and Contributing Editor, StreamingMedia.com, UK
Speaker: Felix Seda, General Manager, NJFX
Speaker: Elsa Pine, Global Sales Executive, Emerging Technologies, Edge Infrastructure, EdgeConneX
Speaker: Lily Yusupova, Strategic Account Executive, Schneider Electric
Speaker: Andy Bax, COO, Seaborn Networks

South American Subsea Cable Delegation Looked to the NJFX CLS Campus as a Model for New Projects

April 14, 2020

NJFX’s CLS campus is serving as an international model for subsea connectivity. A delegation of officials from the South American countries of Chile and Ecuador visited the campus earlier this year to learn more about achieving an optimal model of interconnection for future projects. The delegation visited the campus before the COVID-19 crisis in the U.S., and since NJFX is a designated critical infrastructure site, we quickly became even busier – implementing emergency response plans, enacting additional safety measures, helping our clients augment their capacity and offering free cross-connects so that clients can deploy diversity within their networks. As we reflect on the past month, we think it’s time to share a positive side of why we engineered and designed the NJFX CLS campus in the way we did and how it has become an example for other countries. All of this, in the spirit of building resilient ecosystems that our entire industry can use for collaboration, advancement and innovation.

Considered a reverse trade mission, the visit was part of a delegation to the United States facilitated by the U.S. Trade and Development Agency. The mission was in large part a feasibility study for a planned project to connect the west coast of South America to Asia via subsea cable. This project has been dubbed the “Asia South America Digital Gateway”.

The goals include assisting Chilean and Ecuadorian government decision-makers to better grasp considerations such as best practices and factors to consider when selecting telecommunications service and technology providers. The added benefit for the U.S. is positioning American providers in these markets for new projects. NJFX was chosen as a facility to highlight by the organizers of the trade delegation because of its strategic location and proximity to New York City.

Mike Sauer, VP Americas Partner & Federal for Aqua Comms met with the group and discussed why Aqua Comms made the choice to land its Havfrue/AEC-2 subsea cable for its partners, such as Facebook and Google at NJFX. John Hayduk, formerly COO for Tata Communications, now a partner of NJFX, also presented and met with the delegation.

“We are pleased to know that NJFX is being looked at as an industry standard when it comes to an interconnected CLS campus. Our location just outside of congested New York, but still within 60 miles of one of the most active telecommunications hubs in the world, is crucial to our day-to-day operations,” commented Sarah Kurtz, NJFX’s Business Development Manager. “Members of the delegation were most interested in facility operations, as well as security and backup power systems.”

The delegation also met with U.S. government agencies, regulators, financing organizations, industry associations, and U.S. technology and equipment providers. Members focused on U.S. best practices in cable system design, manufacturing, installation, and regulation. Also top of mind were the technologies, services, and financing mechanisms to support subsea cable project development and implementation.

Delegation member Natalia López is the Head of the Telecommunications Development Fund Division for the government of Chile, working to drive initiatives to improve the Chile’s telecommunications infrastructure. She is leading the Asia South America Digital Gateway Project.

“We learned a lot about considerations for power, backup power, location and more,” stated López. “We found our tour of the NJFX facility enlightening and fascinating. It’s truly a unique campus with access to several subsea and terrestrial routes.”

LATAM is a growing market for connectivity. NJFX’s team is highly engaged and invested in the growth throughout Central/South America. The NJFX team also met with other industry leaders at Capacity LATAM 2020 to discuss the latest trends and challenges for the region – as showcased on conference panels including:

Regional Peering Update: Evaluating the Evolution of Multi-Lateral Peering in Latin America
What are the Challenges to Meet the Boom in Demand for Data Centre and Cloud Computing Services: Understanding the Roadmap to Successful Expansion

NJFX continues to drive innovation and help its carriers and subsea provider clients build their networks with maximum diversity at both the terrestrial and subsea level, avoiding traditional bottlenecks and highly congested areas such as NYC metro and Miami.

Critical Infrastructure, Critical Procedures, Our Unsung Heroes for Critical Times

March 25, 2020

When we hired our site access team, in-house electricians, critical infrastructure technicians, vendors, security team specialist, security outsource team and Cable Landing Station management, we explained that they worked at a mission critical facility, where one day we may need them to make sacrifices for the benefit of our critical infrastructure. At the time, the thought was it could be a hurricane, terrorist attack or even widespread power outage but the word “pandemic” never came up. We gave our team credentials designating them as Essential Employees with the State of New Jersey and explained it was a cautionary measure in case it was ever needed. Today, we are in the midst of a very fluid situation. With New Jersey currently having a stay at home order – we are prepared. When/if the situation changes again, our essential employees are prepared to travel to and from our facility with the proper credentials.

Our site access team is keeping the operations of NJFX in a consistent, reliable and steady state. We are busier than ever, assisting our clients and partners to deploy and augment their communication infrastructures during this time of increased bandwidth needs and to further ensure they have diverse, reliable routes in place. We added a new member to the operations team this week because we knew our bench would need to deepen as this crisis unfolds. Our team is busy getting customers installed with new fiber projects, cages and assisting vendors as they perform their preventative maintenance programs to ensure we are ready. These NJFX employees are the unsung heroes that don’t travel to conferences or coordinate events at the CLS Campus, they just keep everything operating smoothly to make sure our critical infrastructure is supported and protected so the rest of us can work from home, take virtual classes and even attend live streamed religious services.

These critical team members prefer to keep their anonymity and not be named or shown or recognized in any way, including for this article, but we wanted to say THANK YOU to all of them for doing what they do for us in our time of need. They have families, friends and full lives with varied interests. Today, they are at the NJFX CLS colocation campus, making all of us their priority during these uncertain times.

We say thank you to all of the essential employees at work today for making the sacrifice so our connected world can stay that way in a critical moment in time.

NJFX Earns Second Consecutive Year as a HIPAA Compliant CLS

The Facility is the Only HIPAA Certified CLS in North America, as Global Health Initiatives Become Crucial amid COVID-19 Pandemic

March 16, 2020

Wall Township, NJ – NJFX has been certified for a second consecutive year as the only Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliant cable landing station in North America. This renewed certification demonstrates NJFX’s continued leadership in the telecommunications industry. This certification reflects the most stringent standards for data centers in the industry and is required for all facilities hosting medical records. The designation takes on added significance as international agencies exchange information across global networks with sensitive medical data to battle the current pandemic of COVID-2019 (Coronavirus).

In addition to the HIPAA renewal, NJFX has taken several steps at its facility to combat spread of the virus. Most notably, fever testing upon arrival to the facility. As per CDC recommended guidelines, NJFX will require that guests visiting the site are illness/fever free for a minimum of two days prior to arriving. Individuals who have recently traveled are asked to refrain from visiting for a minimum of seven days. The company will limit non-essential employees and visitors. To make sure our facility remains fully operational for all, we will support our key customers in getting classifications for essential employees in the event of widespread quarantines.

NJFX will offer face masks for those outside visitors. Hygiene advisory signage has been installed throughout the facility, including all restrooms. All commonly touched objects are being cleaned and disinfected regularly and frequently. Surfaces in the facility’s restrooms are touch-free using automatic flush toilets, hands-free faucets, and hand dryers. NJFX has also instituted a “No Handshake” policy until further notice.

These policies and procedures are being spearheaded by Lisa Edelstein, the Site Access and Administration Manager for NJFX. She was also instrumental in attaining and retaining the facility’s HIPAA designation. Edelstein is an experienced compliance, security, logistics and administrative professional and is critical in NJFX’s day-to-day operations, functioning as the main point of contact and manager of:

All site security and compliance designations, including HIPAA, SSAE16/18 Type II, and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Critical Infrastructure
All vendor relationships
IT network administration, including information security
Site access
Customer Support and communications
Employee, Site Access, Customer and Company policies and procedures

Lisa is a member of New Jersey Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell (NJCCIC). The organization focuses on cybersecurity information sharing, threat analysis and incident reporting. NJCCIC also works to make the state more resilient to cyber-attacks, promote awareness of cyber threats and facilitate adoption of best practices. In addition, Lisa oversees all DHS procedures at NJFX and is a designated DHS clearance holder for the company, allowing her to be a point of contact with federal officials. She also holds a certificate in Infrastructure Protection from TEEX (The Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service), a recognized leader in the delivery of emergency response, homeland security, and economic development. Lisa engages in continued training from both TEEX and DHS to remain vigilant in threat assessment and response.

“Keeping our facility safe and secure is paramount to me. I have open lines of communication with federal officials and eagerly participate in training offered in areas of disaster recovery, active threats and other safety scenarios,” comments Lisa. “NJFX’s goal is to ensure customer requirements are met with the highest standards. My team works to maintain industry protocols and establish standards of excellence that the NJFX customer community has come to expect.”

NJFX Hires Ryan Imkemeier to Manage CLS Services

Febraury 17, 2020

NJFX, the only Cable Landing Station (CLS colocation campus in the U.S.) offering Tier 3, carrier-neutral data center capabilities, announces today the hiring of Ryan Imkemeier as the new Cable Landing Station Manager. Mr. Imkemeier, as a twenty year veteran in this evolving subsea industry, brings a wealth of knowledge and experience related to new open cable multi-vendor to NJFX clients. His specific knowledge that subsea operators need to ensure operational efficiency at the CLS relate to design, implementation and maintenance of Submarine Line Terminal Equipment (SLTE) for subsea fiber and Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) gear for fiber backhaul.

In this complex subsea environment, the overall systems for subsea cables are powered by Power Feed Equipment (PFE), which physically powers the cable across the ocean on a series of repeaters via a copper core and shifts data traffic with intelligent branching units. This critical component of the system becomes a life safety issue when the unplanned occurs, such as shunt faults or full fiber cuts. Depending on the severity and the extent of the pre-planning, stringent protocols must be followed in coordination with the system Network Operations Center (NOC), subsea ships and the experienced CLS Stations.

Proactively, the front-haul conduit systems connecting the CLS to the beach manhole need close supervision to ensure system integrity. All of these critical systems need the varied technical expertise that Mr. Imkemeier brings to NJFX.

“NJFX is proud to have Mr. Imkemeier join the NJFX team,” said Gil Santaliz. “We have worked with him over the last few years as he was part of TGN cable system and supported the setting up of the Seaborn subsea system in the Tata CLS.”

The addition of Mr. Imkemeier to the team further demonstrates NJFX’s high dedication to ensuring customer projects and solutions are deployed and maintained to the utmost quality and resilience. By adding a team member specifically dedicated to the oversight of subsea cable and network projects as they relate to NJFX’s Cable Landing Station, NJFX continues to lead the industry and set itself apart.

Leaning into 2020, Looking Back at 2019

December 19, 2019

We cannot let this decade come to a close without highlighting a year of significant accomplishments that would not be possible without our amazing partners and customers. We are so thankful for all those who trust and rely on us to deliver a highly reliable, innovative ecosystem along with the secure infrastructure to support their networks.

One of the most exciting developments for NJFX this year, was the announcement of the Nordic Gateway, Bulk’s on-ramp solution into the Havfrue Cable System, stretching 7,200 kilometers from New Jersey to the Nordic countries of Denmark and Norway. With Bulk`s exclusive ownership to the Norwegian branch of the cable system, Bulk controls six routes in the system between the USA, Ireland, Denmark and Norway.

Other milestones include Neutrona Networks establishing of a Point of Presence (PoP) at NJFX. Neutrona Networks is a leading managed network service provider. The PoP brings a greater experience of connectivity to Latin America (LATAM).

Our ecosystem grew in other ways this year with the Telia Carrier deployment of a PoP delivering multi-terabit capacity. The new network infrastructure provides resilient network options for customers wanting diverse connectivity throughout North America.

NetIX, a Europe-based carrier class Ethernet exchange, established its first entry into the U.S. market via a PoP at NJFX. The NetIX network currently connects 20+ IXPs, serves more than 100 members, reaches nearly 5000 direct peers in 28 data centers and delivers close to 500 Gbps of traffic.

NJFX executives have proven their thought leadership and expertise to become key speakers at several high-profile industry events. Founder and CEO Gil Santaliz is honored to be a part of the Submarine Networks EMEA 2020 Advisory Board, as well as the Pacific Telecommunications Council (PTC) Advisory Board.

Next stop for Santaliz and the NJFX team is Honolulu, Hawaii for PTC 2020, where Santaliz will speak on the panel, “Data Centers and Networks on the (Cutting) Edge.” NJFX has been shortlisted for an award in the category “Outstanding Cloud, Data Center, or Interconnection Company.”

And lastly, NJFX has a new team member. Sarah Kurtz serves as Sales Support Manager. As a digital native, Kurtz brings a fresh perspective to the industry and the desire to excel in an industry that enables all of the technology she’s grown up with.

In the coming year, Santaliz will continue its focus on growing New Jersey’s digital economy, with a planned campus expansion that will allow for more data center capacity. This, in part, will allow New Jersey to compete with leading data center locations like Ashburn, VA, where tax incentives have brought a significant tech economy to the region.

NJFX is smashing the model of a CLS being a quiet place that is seldom visited. The CLS can no longer be a passive location serving one purpose. It must be more than just a landing point that allows connection to a faraway hub for carriers. Today, NJFX serves as a landing point that is hub itself, bringing unprecedented capacity and connectivity to North America, South America, Europe and the Caribbean. We are proud to close the books on a successful 2019 and look ahead to 2020 with robust ecosystem of partners, carriers and customers. Happy Holidays!

The Future of Subsea Connectivity lies in the Collaboration

The Future of Subsea Connectivity lies in the Collaboration

December 12, 2019

The state of subsea was the main focus at Subsea Americas 2019 conference in Washington, DC this week. And the consensus was that that the state of subsea is currently in flux. Subsea is changing rapidly, to accommodate the exponential increases in capacity demands the industry will soon see, and in many cases is already seeing. With many cables reaching their end of life and at least one to be decommissioned in the very near future, the spotlight is on next-generation connectivity, what shape that takes and what players are involved.

One highlight of the event was a panel entitled, “Changing Dynamics of U.S. East Coast Network Architectures.” NJFX Founder and CEO Gil Santaliz served as the moderator, with insight from panelists Jim Cataudella, SVP, Network Platform & Critical Infrastructure Engineering for Bank of America, Ivo Pascucci, VP, Telia Carrier, Paul Scott, CEO, Confluence Networks and Joe Scattareggia, EVP, Wholesale, Windstream Wholesale.

While there are many viewpoints and perspectives, all of the panelists agreed that one thing is clear: The old model of the Cable Landing Station (CLS) as a passive, pass through location is no more. Carriers, cable system operators and others are realizing that the CLS must now be a hub with a rich and diverse ecosystem.

“The old model is not necessarily something we want to invest in,” says Ivo Pascucci, VP, Telia Carrier.

“For us, we see a lot of opportunities along the eastern seaboard. What we’ve found is that selling something one-off is a transaction, but when partnering with cable system operators, who compliment each other, bring together fiber assets on both sides of the Atlantic, plus the wet portion, that brings great, long-term value for us and our customers.” Pascucci says the model that NJFX has promoted is beginning to be mimicked more and more in places like Virginia Beach, VA and Jacksonville, FL.

Joe Scattareggia EVP, Wholesale, Windstream Wholesale, agrees, adding: “What used to be a passthrough today is an ecosystem. You’ve got cables landing, cloud services, carriers providing backhaul and internet provider presence. We look at these partnerships, what opportunities best offer us potential to sell our services.” Windstream Wholesale recently took a significant step in bridging those CLS ecosystems, by creating the first-ever CLS-to-CLS terrestrial route between Virginia Beach, VA and NJFX in Wall Township, NJ.

Santaliz asked panelists what it would take for enterprises to truly understand the vulnerability of their routes. Jim Cataudella, SVP, Network Platform & Critical Infrastructure Engineering for Bank of America answered, “At Bank of America we know there is a change of life coming, we are planning for the upcoming decommissioning of a cable. When we look at terrestrial maintenance, we are seeing things like a 400% increase in dual carrier outages, planned or unplanned. At one time, enterprises were covered with two paths. Today four routes have become the norm.” Cataudella adds it critical not only for Bank of America, but all banks in today’s global economy. Bank of America has operational excellence with a zero tolerance for customer facing outages. “The benefit of being at a CLS hub is that it brings us closer to the subsea edge. Having a multi-service CLS, with carrier neutrality, and making it a one stop shop with IP access, peering for cloud providers and high capacity internet is very attractive.”

The final step in creating a diverse north-south route on the East Coast comes from Confluence Networks. Paul Scott, CEO, announced CONFLUENCE-1, the first subsea cable connecting several CLSs along the Atlantic Coast. “This won’t solve it all, but it will provide solutions to latency, scalability and national security that we believe really enriches the architecture on many levels. A cable with 16 fiber pairs and 300 terabits of capacity is a very compelling business case.” He adds that the next step is to bring enterprise customers into the community, to provide direct connectivity at the cable landing site.

The changing landscape, indeed SEAscape, brings an exciting shift for the entire subsea and terrestrial ecosystem. Hubs like NJFX will increase, bringing a new level of secure, diverse, high capacity connectivity. The leadership at NJFX looks forward to playing a key role in the evolution. You can next find the team at PTC 2020 in Honolulu, HI, January 19-22, where CEO Gil Sanatliz will participate on a panel entitled, “Data Centers and Networks on the (Cutting) Edge”.
