The news comes as Epsilon aims to meet the growing demand for diverse network architectures and the route is already operational with live customer traffic and bypasses legacy NYC chokepoints, offering a secure network option to Europe from Ashburn, Virginia.
“The leadership role Epsilon has taken to support the global networking community is recognised as a critical connectivity infrastructure initiative; eliminating single points of failure like NYC and ensuring global traffic isn’t impacted by issues in the region,” said Gil Santaliz (pictured), CEO of NJFX.
Through the collaboration with Epsilon, NJFX network service providers can also use Epsilon’s on-demand connectivity platform, Infiny. Infiny is a software-defined networking (SDN) platform that gives users access to on-demand local, regional and global connectivity.
At present, Epsilon’s Global Network Fabric currently connects to over 100 data centres in North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa, and offers direct interconnects to cloud service providers and internet exchanges.
“NJFX’s innovative Tier 3 CLS ‘clarity in connectivity’ approach is now being introduced as the standard for North American financials and multinational enterprises to also fortify their network routes and eliminate single points of failure from the US national data hubs,” adds Santaliz.
NJFX gives secure access to key hubs across North America and Europe building upon legacy architectures. The company says that the next step in eliminating points of failure in the US will be bypassing Miami as the only major gateway for Latin America and the Caribbean. NJFX offers this in conjunction with several carriers using a cable system connecting New Jersey to Boca Raton, Florida via the Atlantic, then routing directly to Puerto Rico.
