Hurricane Electric, which offers an IPv6-native internet backbone, has established a new point of presence (PoP) at FiberState SLC1, a carrier-neutral data center at 106 E. 13200 S. in Draper, Utah.
FiberState provides an interconnected and scalable environment with direct access to multiple carriers and cloud providers. The facility is strategically positioned to serve customers throughout Utah’s fast-growing technology corridor, which includes Salt Lake City, Lehi, Draper and Provo—collectively known as the “Silicon Slopes.”
The new PoP will provide improved fault tolerance, load balancing and congestion management in the delivery of next-generation IP connectivity services. Businesses and ISPs in the region will gain access to Hurricane Electric’s IPv4 and IPv6 network through 100GE, 10GE and GigE ports, officials said.
“We are pleased to continue our network expansion with the addition of this new PoP at FiberState,” said Mike Leber, president of Hurricane Electric. “Utah has emerged as a major technology hub, and this deployment enhances our ability to provide high-speed, resilient internet connectivity to customers throughout the Intermountain West.”
Customers at FiberState will be able to exchange IP traffic directly with Hurricane Electric’s global network, which offers more than 40,000 BGP sessions with more than 10,500 different networks via more than 320 major exchange points and thousands of customer and private peering ports, officials said.
