Hurricane Electric to leverage Cologix’s Standard Connections product for easy and rapid access to new demand
Denver, Colorado – April 16, 2013 – Cologix™, a network neutral interconnection and colocation company, announced today that Hurricane Electric, the world’s largest IPv6-native Internet backbone, has established a point-of-presence (PoP) at Cologix’s Dallas INFOMART data center. The new PoP, leveraging Cologix’s Standard Connections product, will enable Hurricane Electric to expand its global network reach to access demand from a new set of network customers in Dallas. With this deployment, Hurricane Electric has presence in each market across Cologix’s North American platform.
“We are continually growing our global network reach, and are pleased to take advantage of Cologix’s Standard Connections offering in Dallas,” said Reid Fishler, Hurricane Electric’s Director of Carrier Services. “Leveraging Standard Connections allows us to offer our services directly to Cologix’s growing customers base without significant risk, which creates an important on-ramp for us given the demand we expect to see from customers moving into their newly opened facility.”

Cologix offers over 300 network choices, manages thousands of interconnections and has over 550 customers that utilize Cologix’s colocation and interconnection services to scale their networks’ needs rapidly and cost-effectively.
