NEW YORK – NTT Communications is expanding its tier-1 global IP network with a new Point-of-Presence (PoP) in Toronto.
The global data and IP services arm of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation said Monday that the expansion will allow it to further scale its offerings to ISPs, content-oriented companies, and cloud, hosting and CDN providers in the market. The PoP will also support the growing demand for high-quality IP services from global companies and organizations that have established their Canadian headquarters and/or operational centers in the region.
NTT Com customers will be able to connect at numerous capacity levels including 100G ports with confirmed diversity and direct connections to multiple points in the global IP network to ensure the highest reliability and the lowest latency in the IP services.
“We are thrilled to extend our footprint into one of North America’s fastest growing technology hubs,” said Michael Wheeler, EVP of the NTT Communications Global IP Network at NTT America, in the news release. “Internet-centric businesses and organizations operating in the area will have direct access to our tier-1 global backbone and the high-performance IP solutions they need for their content, online video, hosting, gaming and other bandwidth-intensive applications.”
NTT Com’s Tier-1 Global IP Network covers North and South America, Asia, Europe and Oceania, and provides content, data and video transport through a single autonomous system number (AS 2914).
