In addition to the Sydney IBX data center, PIPE is also utilizing Equinix's global footprint and operational expertise, with deployments to Equinix centers in Tokyo, Japan and San Jose, CA, USA.
PIPE International's newly laid PPC-1 undersea cable runs 6,900 km from Guam to its landing point on Sydney. With a capacity of 2.56 terabits per second, the PPC-1 system will provide significant additional capacity to Australia, and also will provide onward connectivity to Asia and the United States.
“We are extremely pleased to have been selected by PIPE International to help create market interest for the PPC-1 undersea cable project,” said Samuel Lee, President, Equinix Asia Pacific.
“We provide a very efficient and secure means to distribute optimized traffic to the Australian market as well as increase the options for international transit and transport services out of Australia. The new PPC-1 cable system will also enable our customers to increase the resilience of their international network and provide additional redundancy.”
“Our landing of the new cable is to provide Australia with enhanced, competitive connectivity to the rest of the world,” Bevan Slattery, CEO of PIPE International said. “Equinix's global data center services create an ideal partnership for us in the mission-critical project.”
