To Europe – and beyond

Digital Realty Trust Inc is partnering with Aqua Comms Ltd to deploy its new transatlantic fiber optic system, America Europe Connect (AEConnect). Stretching over 5,400km across the Atlantic Ocean, between Long Island and the west coast of Ireland, with stubbed branching units for future landings, AEConnect is expected to be available in the first of Digital Realty’s data centers by the end of 2015. It will later be made available to two other New York facilities. The subsea cable features the latest technology of 130 gigabits per second by 100 gigabits per second, per fiber pair, to provide low-latency connectivity between New York and London and beyond to greater Europe. AquaComms’ AEConnect is

part of the new generation of subsea cable systems connecting New York and London, representing an update of the systems built nearly 15 years ago. It is expected to leverage the latest software-defined network (SDN) technology to provide global data centers, cloud-based networks and content providers with low-latency and high reliability solutions to growing transatlantic capacity requirements. Greg Varisco, chief operations officer at AquaComms, said: “Digital Realty offers cutting edge data center solutions in the New York metropolitan area and beyond, which will allow our customers to extend existing networks and expand into new markets.”
