Colocation provider Switch and Data has deployed its 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GigE) platform in three sites.
As part of its PAIX peering services, the 10GigE PAIX switch now operates Switch and Data's Palo Alto site and in New York City at both 111 8th Avenue and 60 Hudson.
Switch and Data says it is the first Internet exchange to offer 10GigE peering capacity on both the East and West Coast.
The 10GigE PAIX platform has been extended to 111 8th Avenue and 60 Hudson in New York City after being in full production in Palo Alto since May 2005. Almost 200 peering participants are on the 10GigE platform in Palo Alto and 111 8th. Customers at 60 Hudson can immediately peer with customers at 111 8th through a Layer 2 MetroPAIX connection of the two New York sites.
