365 DATA CENTERS AND INTERSERVER ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP TO EXPAND IN NEW JERSEY MARKET
365 Data Centers , a leading provider of network-centric colocation , network , cloud and other managed services , has announced a strategic partnership with InterServer , a renowned web hosting and managed services provider specialising in customised bare metal solutions .
This collaboration aims to enhance and expand the companies ’ joint capabilities , particularly in the growing New Jersey market .
The partnership between 365 Data Centers and InterServer leverages the strengths of both companies to deliver comprehensive IT infrastructure solutions .
With its network of 20 data centres across the U . S ., including multiple locations in New Jersey such as Carlstadt and Bridgewater , 365 Data Centers was a strategic move for InterServer to select as its newest colocation provider . This decision aligns with InterServer ’ s on-going efforts to expand its presence beyond the Secaucus market , which has traditionally been the company ’ s core operational hub .
Both companies are committed to expanding their presence in the New Jersey market , capitalising on the region ’ s strategic importance as a data centre hub . New Jersey ’ s proximity to New York City , robust infrastructure , and emerging status as a cable landing destination for subsea data traffic make it an ideal location for data centre growth .
Bob DeSantis , CEO of 365 Data Centers , said : “ Our networkcentric data centres in New Jersey , combined with InterServer ’ s expertise in web hosting and cloud services , will provide businesses in the region with unparalleled access to secure , reliable and scalable IT services .”
The London Internet Exchange ( LINX ) has completed its 100G capacity upgrade project in Jeddah , following an increase in customers and port demands at the interconnection hub in KSA .
LINX has been powering Internet Exchange Points ( IXPs ) for Center3 , its strategic partner in Saudi Arabia since 2018 . Jeddah was the first port of call for this deployment and since then LINX peering services have gone live in Riyadh and teams are preparing to deploy in Dammam this year .
With regular traffic peaks over 650Gbps , networks connected into the IXP in Jeddah need to ensure their ports have the capacity to cope with the spikes in online traffic often generated by sporting events or gaming upgrades .
Jeddah is one of the main landing stations for subsea cables in the Middle East , distributing global content locally and providing convenient onward connectivity to Asia , Europe and Africa .
The IXP in Jeddah creates a neutral and central meeting point in the MG1 ( MENA Gateway ) data centre for carriers , cloud , content providers , enterprise networks and more to peer their network traffic locally and improve end user online performance .
Halil Kama , Regional Director for LINX in the Middle East , said : “ We are pleased to be upgrading our internet exchange capacity with an additional 16 x 100G port capability due to customer demand in Jeddah . This enhancement further strengthens Jeddah ’ s role as a digital gateway , ensuring faster , more efficient connections for networks and users across the region .”
