New York, July 8, 2014
- Seattle-based Sabey Data Center Properties, one of the nation’s
largest privately-owned multi-tenant data center owners and developers,
announced today that DE-CIX, the world’s largest carrier- and data
center-neutral Internet exchange, will launch a point-of-presence of
its DE-CIX Apollon interconnection platform within Intergate.Manhattan,
Sabey’s 1 million-square-foot facility at 375 Pearl Street in Lower
Manhattan.
DE-CIX’s
award-winning Apollon platform provides the infrastructure for direct
and settlement-free IP interconnection among Internet service providers
(ISPs), known as peering. DE-CIX operates Internet exchanges in
Frankfurt, Munich, Hamburg, Dubai and New York. DE-CIX New York is
already deployed in seven other data centers in New York in New Jersey
and operates 111 access points in the metro area. Its expansion into
Intergate.Manhattan is expected to take place within the next 30-60
days.
Sabey
Data Centers’ proprietary IGX fiber network will provide DE-CIX with
two redundant links on diverse routes to connect 375 Pearl Street and
DE-CIX at 111 Eighth Avenue and 60 Hudson Street. The new DE-CIX POP
allows all Sabey tenants to take advantage of DE-CIX’s Ethernet
interconnection options. The connection is able to grow to multiple
Terabits per second in the future.
Sabey
Data Centers will use services from DE-CIX that include peering and
Layer 2 connectivity to other New York City data centers.
John
Sabey, President of Sabey Data Centers, said, “DE-CIX expressed its
desire to be at 375 Pearl Street, and we have been working on our
business agreement since January. This agreement clearly shows that
both parties strongly support the growth of New York as an Internet hub
for the region.”
“We
are committed to growing DE-CIX New York to one of the world’s five
largest Internet exchanges by 2020. Expanding to Sabey’s
Intergate.Manhattan facility is part of our effort to establish a
DE-CIX presence in every relevant data center and carrier hotel in this
metro. DE-CIX New York is just a cross connect away from 99% of the
providers in this metro market,” said Frank Orlowski, CMO for DE-CIX.
Mr.
Sabey added, “We are very happy to partner with DE-CIX New York on
this important market-enriching change. We are proud to be one of the
first customers on the exchange, since having DE-CIX inside 375 Pearl
leads to a larger choice of interconnection options for our customer
base.”
Intergate.Manhattan
represents an exponential expansion to New York City’s computing
infrastructure capacity. The 32-story Intergate.Manhattan is also the
most efficient data center in New York City, with brand new
infrastructure and state-of-the-art climate control and electrical
systems. The building’s Con Ed substation is on the second and third
floors, eliminating a risk from storm surge damage that affected so
many buildings in Lower Manhattan during Superstorm Sandy.
