eStruxture partners with Beanfield to connect Montreal customers to U.S. cloud


MONTREAL — Montreal’s eStruxture and Toronto-based Beanfield Technologies are partnering to bring fast, low-latency connectivity to strategic cloud locations in the eastern U.S. for eStruxture’s customers in Montreal.

eStruxture is a Canadian-owned provider of network and cloud-neutral data centre solutions, and Beanfield owns and operates an independent fibre-optic network spanning across the Greater Toronto Area and Montreal. In a news release Tuesday, eStruxture announced the Beanfield HYPERroute low-latency, private network service with connectivity to key cloud on-ramp locations in the U.S. is now available in eStruxture’s MTL-1 data centre.

With direct access to Beanfield HYPERroute, eStruxture’s customers can now benefit from ultra low-latency, private, point-to-point connectivity between Montreal and strategic cloud on-ramps in U.S. East 1 (Northern Virginia) and U.S. East 2 (Ohio), with up to 10 gigabit long-haul Ethernet connectivity and round-trip times as low as 12.1 milliseconds, eStruxture says in the news release.

“Many Canadian customers require long-haul connectivity to U.S. regions that are close to their traffic’s point of origin,” says Todd Coleman, president and CEO of eStruxture Data Centers, in the release. “With Beanfield HYPERroute, Canada’s lowest-latency trans-border cloud network, we are now able to support those customers by offering low latency and highly available services that meet the requirements of enterprise-grade applications. HYPERroute effectively makes eStruxture’s MTL-1 data centre the prime connectivity hub for U.S. East cloud service zones.”
