Hurricane Electric, a large IPv6-native internet backbone, announced it has deployed a new point of presence (PoP) in Involta Idaho 2. The PoP is located at 2653 S. Victory View Way in Boise.
Involta Idaho 2 has 10,000 square feet of space and 300 racks, with private storage cages available. This SOC 2 externally assessed PoP has a 100 percent uptime guarantee, ~56 percent renewal energy (wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, biomass), and 24/7/365 security.
The Pacific Northwest is known for its clothing, hospitality and technology industries and Idaho is a business-friendly state. With a thriving start-up ecosystem, including the Venture College incubator at Boise State University, Boise was recently ranked by Inc. Magazine as the fifth most important surge city — the best American hubs to start a business. The capital city was also listed as number 20 on CBRE’s Scoring Tech Talent Report, which identified markets by their ability to attract and grow tech talent.
This PoP is Hurricane Electric’s first location in Idaho and ninth in the Pacific Northwest and will provide the region with improved fault tolerance, load balancing and congestion management in the delivery of next-generation IP connectivity services.
Customers of Involta Idaho 2 and in and around the Pacific Northwest now have a variety of connectivity options and access to Hurricane Electric’s extensive IPv4 and IPv6 network through 100GE (100 Gigabit Ethernet), 10GE (10 Gigabit Ethernet) and GigE (1 Gigabit Ethernet) ports.
Additionally, customers at the facility are able to exchange IP traffic with Hurricane Electric’s global network, which offers more than 20,000 BGP sessions with more than 10,000 different networks via 280-plus major exchange points and thousands of customer and private peering ports.
