NJFX Hosts Critical Infrastructure Forum
This event marked a revolutionary stride towards redefining cloud, IP, and global connectivity.
On February 9th, NJFX's Tier 3 carrier-neutral and subsea colocation facility hosted a Critical Infrastructure Forum supporting various applications for multinational banks. This event marked a revolutionary stride towards redefining cloud, IP, and global connectivity with 30+ executives presenting from Fortune 100 and 500 companies within NJFX's advanced facility.
The forum facilitated sessions on enhancing network infrastructure and enabling private backbone access to the major cloud operators. Additional topics included insights from the world's largest Internet exchange provider and a leading network operator providing last mile access throughout LATAM.
A central theme throughout the day was network diversity — specifically, how financial institutions can architect their connectivity to eliminate single points of failure. Executives discussed diversification strategies spanning route, carrier, and infrastructure layers, with particular attention to the added risk that geopolitical tensions pose to global cable and network paths. The conversation also addressed the connectivity gap in underserved regions, and how expanding resilient, diverse infrastructure into those areas strengthens the broader global network rather than concentrating risk in a handful of major routes.
Key Participants & Highlights
- Head of Solutions Architecture of Banking and Payments from AWS.
- COO's from Orchest, Colt, and Crown Castle, emphasizing the importance of scalable and resilient network infrastructure.
- Executives from DE-CIX, sharing strategies on internet exchange capabilities and global business development.
