Global Cloud Xchange Partners with CMC Telecom To Boost Connectivity across South-East Asia

HONG KONG–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Global Cloud Xchange (GCX) and CMC Telecom today announced a dual strategic initiative, wherein GCX will offer its IP Transit solutions to CMC Telecom in Hong Kong and Singapore, while CMC Telecom will deploy a Virtual Point of Presence (vPoP) for GCX in Hanoi.
