Hibernia Atlantic extends financial network into Equinix's London data center

Hibernia Atlantic, a submarine transport cable provider and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Columbia Ventures, has expanded its network into Equinix's LD4 London Slough International Business Exchange data center.

According to the companies, Equinix and Hibernia Atlantic, this new point of presence (POP) extends Hibernia Atlantic's footprint in the London area. This POP also extends Hibernia's Global Financial Network (GFN), into Equinix Financial eXchange, a neutral electronic marketplace consisting of active financial market participants, which is located within the LD4 center.

Within the LD4 data center, the GFN will have a direct connection to Equinix Financial eXchange's established community of execution venues, buy and sell side firms, market data providers and technology utilities, that have located at Equinix's data center to access the choice of low-latency networks and to directly exchange data with strategic partners and customers in close proximity.

Petrina Steele, vice president of business development in Europe for Equinix, said: "This expansion marks Hibernia's presence in five Equinix data centers in the US and Europe. Hibernia Atlantic's TransAtlantic cable system, which has a reputation for providing a redundant, diverse route from traditional networks, will bring value to our Financial eXchange community that requires secure, reliable connectivity to the financial hubs around the world."
