Business Wire
INTERXION HOLDING NV (NYSE: INXN), a leading European provider
of carrier and cloud-neutral colocation data centre services, today
announced that it has signed an agreement with Aqua Comms, the
operator of subsea fibre-optic networks interconnecting the United
States and Europe, enabling interconnection to the America Europe
Connect-2 (AEC-2) subsea cable system from Interxion’s data centre
in Copenhagen.
AEC-2 is Aqua Comms’s portion of the Havfrue subsea cable
project, connecting New Jersey, U.S.A., to Ireland, and Denmark.
The America Europe Connect-2 cable is scheduled to land in
Blaabjerg, near Esbjerg in September 2019 and will be the first new
cable connecting Denmark to the U.S. in nearly two decades.
Aqua Comms supplies fibre pairs, spectrum and capacity
networking solutions to the global media, content and carrier
markets.
“The large number of networks and content platforms present at
Interxion’s Copenhagen campus makes it an efficient location for
AEC-2 to interconnect with our target customers” said Nigel
Bayliff, CEO of Aqua Comms. “The investment Interxion is making to
develop its campus in Copenhagen aligns with the growth in demand
we are seeing for highly resilient network capacity between
northern Europe and the U.S”.
AEC-2 will complement Aqua Comms’ existing transatlantic cable,
AEC-1, and deliver on its vision of creating a “North Atlantic
Loop”, a resilient dual-path network across the Atlantic. This will
be further enhanced by North Sea Connect (NSC) from Denmark to the
UK and Celtix-Connect-2 (CC-2) as a second Irish Sea cable crossing
from the UK to Ireland, both of which will follow shortly after
AEC-2.
“The AEC-1 subsea cable already extends to the Interxion
facility in Dublin, so we are pleased to expand our collaboration
with Aqua Comms on this new cable into Denmark” said Peder Bank,
Managing Director of Interxion, Nordics. “Our community of
customers greatly value international capacity on diverse, modern
and resilient routes which is exactly what the ring topology of the
North Atlantic Loop provides. The system further strengthens
Interxion’s position as the main Gateway to the Nordic Region”.
AEC-2 is scheduled to go live in the fourth quarter of 2019 and
will more than double fibre connectivity to Denmark from the US,
increasing the diversity and reliability of the Internet to the
region. Aqua Comms investment in subsea cables to northern Europe
complements Interxion’s increased investments in its Nordic data
centres in Copenhagen and Stockholm.
