Under the terms of the agreement, Wirewerks will supply its portfolio of optical fibre connectivity solutions to Globalinx, including its NextSTEP Technology fibre management system.
“Wirewerks connectivity solutions, including our super-high density NextSTEP Technology fibre management system, are enjoying great success in data centre applications across North America," said Jais Cohen, president of Wirewerks. "We are honoured by Globalinx's confidence in Wirewerks and our products, and we look forward to working in partnership with Globalinx on this important project."
Globalinx’s 21.5 acre, Tier-III carrier-neutral data centre campus will enable Globalinx to provide data centre service, colocation services and meet-me-room facilities to customers in North America. In addition, the campus will allow the secure interconnection of domestic fibre networks, including MAREA and BRUSA subsea cables for commutations to Europe and South America.
"Globalinx evaluated many manufacturers however we were most impressed with Wirewerks and their overall organisation,” said Greg Twitt, CEO and Founder of Globalinx. “The deciding factor outside of Wirewerks providing Globalinx with a seamless and scalable end to end solution with their high density 4U NextSTEP patch panels, is the level of customer commitment and peace of mind we will benefit from having them as our business partner.”
In October, Globainx entered into a strategic partnership with Cox Business, enabling Cox Business customers have local, direct and secure connections at the Virginia Beach cable landing station. As a result, businesses will no longer have to connect New York or Florida, reducing latency and ensuring businesses can seamlessly receive high demand IP applications such as VR, IoT and VoIP.
