DE-CIX, H5 Data Centers partner for New York/New Jersey market at 325 Hudson Street
Internet exchange (IX) operator DE-CIX and colocation provider H5 Data Centers say they have partnered to offer expanded services at H5’s 325 Hudson Street, New York facility. The team mates say they can combine to offer very attractive colocation and connectivity options leveraging Hudson Street and DE-CIX New York’s IX capabilities to companies expanding or relocating their data center and colocation services requirements.
The combination will provide “unsurpassed” access to content, cloud, carrier, application, and service provider networks, DE-CIX and H5 say.
“Direct cloud connectivity and fortified Internet capabilities are top requirements for companies sourcing colocation and data center facilities in New York,” commented Josh Simms, owner and CEO of H5 Data Centers. “DE-CIX New York’s local platform at 325 Hudson offers peering, cloud connectivity, private user group connections, and more. As businesses seek alternative options in the market, 325 Hudson provides unrivaled access to a local interconnection ecosystem surpassing 250 networks, with a global reach to over 2,400 networks. We welcome the opportunity to showcase our facility and accommodate businesses who need reliable, consistent, and accessible services.”
“While we have been present at 325 Hudson since we launched DE-CIX New York over 7.5 years ago, we very much welcome the opportunity to start a new relationship with H5 Data Centers. We look forward to working with H5 Data Centers, and the strength of their national footprint, to take 325 Hudson to the next level,” added Ed d’Agostino, vice president and general manager of DE-CIX North America.
