Global Cloud Xchange (GCX), a network service provider powering global connectivity for new media providers, telecom carriers and enterprises, announced the expansion of its partnership with Equinix, a digital infrastructure company, to provide customers enhanced route diversity and availability of products and services in the Middle East region.
With the announcement, GCX enhances access to its Middle East network through a new Point of Presence (PoP) in the Equinix data center in Muscat, Oman.
Global demand for submarine network bandwidth and services is growing, especially in the Middle East and Asia among others. GCX owns and operates a large privately-owned submarine network and supports increasing needs for global connectivity.
Equinix’s International Business Exchange data center in Muscat is in the heart of the digital ecosystem connecting Asia, Africa and Europe. The data center creates a regional interconnection hub with ultra-low latencies among global business markets. The Muscat MC1 data center in Muscat is the first in Oman, and is a carrier-neutral hub where carriers, content providers and cloud providers collocate their critical IT infrastructure.
GCX maintains a team of experts in the region to help customers plan and deploy value-based strategies through on-network and hybrid solutions. Bringing together expert capacity planning and route diversity through the FALCON system, this expanded presence in Oman in the Middle East opens opportunities in content delivery, gaming, cloud services and enterprise transformation in the region.
