Internap Adds Hibernia Atlantic to Carrier Diversity Model

SUMMIT, N.J. & DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

TransAtlantic submarine transport cable provider, Hibernia Atlantic, today announces it has been added by Internap Network Services Corporation (NASDAQ: INAP) (Internap), to its diverse network of backbone providers. The decision by Internap was designed to further enhance its already robust connectivity between the US, Europe and Canada. Internap is expanding capacity to its international backbone as part of a previously-stated strategy of investing in its core Performance IPâ„¢ services.

Internap's patented routing technology chooses the best path for content delivery - offering their customers reliability and performance guarantees unmatched in the industry, Internap delivers and distributes applications and content for more than 3,000 companies over its managed Internet and Content Delivery Network (CDN). With the addition of Hibernia to the "best-path" options available within this architecture, Internap's private network backbone solution is even less susceptible to failures in the rather unlikely event that more than one of its other providers were to experience simultaneous outages.

"Internap is always looking for ways to build in redundancy and reliability while reducing costs," said Eric Cooney, President and CEO of Internap. "Hibernia Atlantic's security, diversity and flexibility met our requirements for inclusion as part of our network.

"Hibernia's network offers Internap a reliable, yet cost-effective, option between its hubs in the US, Canada and Europe. The addition of Hibernia also reflects Internap's growth on a global level. We are proud to have been chosen by Internap because they pick only the best providers to be a part of their network," says Eric Gutshall, EVP of Sales and Marketing for Hibernia Atlantic.

"Hibernia Atlantic's network of local and regional networks in North America and Europe, coupled with its recent capacity upgrade, leave the carrier well-positioned to meet the rapidly increasing bandwidth demand that will be driven by increasing consumer demand for video services," said Cindy Whelan, principal analyst, Telecom Services for Current Analysis. "Internap's selection of Hibernia Atlantic for its international backbone builds upon Internap's reputation for provisioning the most secure, reliable avenue to serve customers today and demonstrates anticipated growth in the future."

Direct Edge Gets More Of An Edge With Exegy

Exegy Incorporated, the ultra-high performance market data appliance company, announced today that Direct Edge, the nation’s third largest stock market, will be using Exegy’s Exchange Connect to give its customers the fastest possible hardware-accelerated view of every stock exchange in America.

Exegy’s Exchange Connect is a variant of the ultra-low latency Exegy Ticker Plant, typically used by High Frequency Trading Firms to get the fastest look at the electronic stock market. Jim O’Donnell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Exegy said, “We are absolutely delighted to be a key technology supplier to Direct Edge. The Exegy Ticker Plant is used by traders at large banks and hedge funds because it gives them the fastest look at financial markets. It makes perfect sense for an exchange focused on extreme low latency to take advantage of the same technology with Exegy Exchange Connect.”

Steven Bonanno, Chief Technology Officer of Direct Edge, said, “This is all about our commitment to speed and to our customers. Customers who send orders to Direct Edge want the best price as fast as possible. That means we must focus not only on being the fastest we can be through our own order matching engine, but also providing the best possible routing solution for customers. One of the keys to good routing is having the best view of the ‘away’ markets—through Exegy, we have that.” The Exegy Exchange Connect appliance feeds the Direct Edge smart order router with prices, constantly providing the best bids and offers from all venues in the lowest possible time frame. This is critical in today’s market, where microseconds matter.

Direct Edge is making this upgrade as it moves into the Equinix NY4 facility in Secaucus, New Jersey. The 340,000 square foot, carrier-neutral Equinix facility is also a major data distribution center for the new CBOE C2 platform, ICE, ISE and BOX.

CyberKnife a viable treatment option for Atrial fibrillation, behavioural disorders

from pharmabiz.com:

>>CyberKnife, the first and only whole body radio surgery system, is now proving to be a viable treatment option for Atrial fibrillation, behavioural disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders, depression, epilepsy obesity, besides Deep Brain Stimulation to treat Parkinson's and epilepsy.

The robotic surgery system, used to treat a variety of cancers, is now preferred for correcting abnormal heart rhythms. It is being recommended to replace the current invasive surgery with painless laser intervention.

Further, CyberKnife's is an alternative to treat Trigeminal Neuralgia or facial nerve pain, Arteriovenous malformations or abnormal blood vessels in the brain and benign tumours such as Acoustic neuromas and meningiomas. These conditions are proving to show good response, said Dr John R Adler, professor, department of Neurosurgery, Stanford University Medical Centre, also the inventor of CyberKnife and founder of Accuray Inc a Nasdaq listed start-up.

Logitech G27 Racing Wheel

Reviewed by Terrence Russell • September 24, 2009

Like the G25 before it, Logitech designed the G27 with precision in mind. The 11-inch wheel sports 900 degrees of rotation, simulates tire grip through force feedback, and comes wrapped in buttery smooth leather. When cornering through high-speed, g-heavy turns it felt like we were actually at wheel of a sports car.

Data Storage Centers Undervalued Relative To Growth Prospects According To Stifel Nicolaus

from yahoo.com:

>>Data Storage Centers Undervalued Relative To Growth Prospects According To Stifel Nicolaus

TWST: How are stock prices holding up now? Do you see these companies being fairly valued?

Mr. Weller: I think there is still upside. I think these stocks got way oversold because of everything I talked about earlier. There was just a lack of appetite for risk, period, and then you add on the high leverage, the negative - those are characteristics that were just not attractive to people. And one thing that is true, too, is that there is still a fresh memory of the past, of the issues this space faced back in 2001. Exodus went bankrupt. These stocks were disastrous. It was a nightmare, and there are a lot of people who still remember that. And so I think that hurts the group, too, but I think what people are starting to feel more comfortable with is that businesses are different today. The customer base is higher quality, the demand is real, and you don't really have the over-capacity situation you did back then or the high-leverage levels. I think those are key differences. In terms of what's going to drive the stocks from here, I think for an Equinix and Switch, they've got to continue to show that they can put up 20% to 25% growth rates and deliver on the EBITDA side, and I think people will get more comfortable with these models. Looking at past multiples, for Equinix we just raised our target to $100, which is still meaningful upside from here. So I think there is more room to grow. Rackspace is a little tougher, you don't have a lot of history. And it's a little bit of a different model, so it's not exactly right to compare it to these vendors. But we think that as the SMB market improves from a macro perspective, that that will drive an improvement in growth in Rackspace. Right now we're modeling a 15% revenue growth forecast, but we think those could ultimately return to 20% to 25%, and so Rackspace has the potential to get on the screens of more growth investors. It's also a name that still has a relatively low institutional ownership. When they did that auction IPO, they ended up having a pretty big retail investor base. And so Rackspace over the last nine months has been really aggressive at getting out in front of institutions, telling the story. One of the things that's a little bit interesting is that there were some clear overhangs or concerns over this group if you go back to the second half of 2008 and early 2009, concerns that you were going to have issues with the businesses, that growth was going to slow significantly, that churn was going to spike. And just over the last quarter, it didn't seem that there were big issues or overhangs out there.

Clariteam

Clariteam qui utilisait les services d’Equinix en Angleterre a néanmoins fait un appel d’offre avec un cahier des charges bien précis. Il recherchait la location d’espace en état de fonctionnement permanent avec de très hauts niveaux de sécurité, une alimentation sans interruption et des systèmes de refroidissement efficaces. Dans ce contexte après avoir consulté plusieurs prestataires tel que Colt, Redbus et Interxion, l’offre d’Equinix s’est distinguée sur plusieurs critères, d’abord par une réponse précise aux besoins puis par son expertise et son service à la carte et enfin par son coût.
Autre point positif le site d’Equinix est raccordé à de multiples réseaux d’opérateurs télécoms. De plus Equinix est certifiée ISO9001 :2000 pour tous ses Datacentres ce qui est un argument important pour des clients utilisant des services SaaS.
Fin 2005, Clariteam, a donc installé son portail Visibility et ses serveurs de bases de données dans le Datacentre d’Equinix à Roissy. Ce portail intégré dans les infrastructures d’Equinix est relié en permanence à tous les réseaux de ses clients français et internationaux et est totalement administré à distance par les ingénieurs de chez Clariteam qui bénéficient toutefois d’une équipe de technicien chez Equinix qui en cas d’urgence apportent un service de niveau 1.
Cette organisation permet donc à Clariteam de maîtriser totalement ses applications et d’assurer un service de qualité à ses clients comme si l’ensemble du système était dans ses locaux tout en bénéficiant d’une infrastructure surveillée 24/24h, 365j /an. Pour assurer une sécurité maximum, Clariteam a mis en place une double procédure de back up de ses bases de données en effet une sauvegarde est effectuée chaque jour chez Equinix et chaque semaine un back up est transmis chez Clariteam.
La disponibilité des accès opérateurs dans le Datacentre d’Equinix permet une souplesse permanente pour la connexion des sondes réparties sur les réseaux de ses clients.
Les exigences de Clariteam en matière de qualité de service et de disponibilité du système ont pu trouver très largement des réponses auprès des services qu’offre Equinix. Clariteam reconnaît en Equinix un partenaire qui a su s’adapter à ses contraintes métiers.
«Pour une société telle que Clariteam qui offre des services en SaaS avec une garantie de continuité de service très contraignante, il serait extrêmement coûteux et contre productif de vouloir acquérir notre propre datacentre. Le service d’Equinix nous permet de garantir à nos clients la disponibilité permanente de notre portail car ils bénéficient d’une infrastructure et d’une résilience de haut niveau» indique Ludovic LURAND Directeur associé chez Clariteam.

Data centres are actually pretty interesting

from techworld.com:

>>Data centres are actually pretty interesting

I had the opportunity this week to tour a purpose-built data centre this week, thanks to Equinix, which provides network-neutral data centre and interconnection services. The tour provided me with a fascinating insight to the thinking and planning needed for something that is undoubtedly a core element of today's computing infrastructure.

Indeed, despite only opening in October 2007, Equinix's LD4 facility in Slough is expected to reach maximum capacity in a couple of years time, and the company is already building a much larger data centre (LD5) nearby, which will open sometime in the second quarter of 2010.

Aussie data centres brace for dust storm barrage

from Nearshore Journal:

>>Aussie data centres brace for dust storm barrage - ITNews

Data centres in Sydney and Brisbane have shut off external ventilation systems, restricted loading dock access and attended false alarms after a major dust storm choked the cities today.

Macquarie Telecom, Equinix, ac3, manageNET and AAPT outlined a number of preventative measures taken in their respective data centres to prevent dust ingress.

....

Equinix Australia managing director Darren Mann said there had been no customer visits to the data centre as a result of the storm.

Mann said the facility had changed the sticking mats at entrances more frequently to catch any dust off pedestrian traffic moving in and out of the suites.

“We also limited the opening times of delivery shutters,” Mann said.

Air conditioning vendors were also on-site to conduct visual checks of the air filters, he said.

Fiber Network Just For Connecting Exchanges and Data Centers in NY, NJ Soon to Launch

>>Fiber Network Just For Connecting Exchanges and Data Centers in NY, NJ Soon to Launch

RCN Metro is laying fiber for a low-latency co-location and exchange-only network connecting the major bourses and data centers in the New York and New Jersey financial hubs, according to John Romagnoli, senior manager of product development at RCN Metro.

The firm will deploy services on the network by year end, he said, eventually offering speeds up to 100 gigabytes per interface. The project will be “100 percent complete” in six months, he said.

First described yesterday at the Wall Street Technology Association’s (WSTA’s) Emerging Hot Technologies conference in New York, Romagnoli, said “Project Mercury” will be the first to offer Wall Street “extreme low-latency, fault-tolerant and high-capacity” using “ROADM” provisioning technology.

...

A network map Romagnoli provided at the conference showed the system connecting Bats, Nasdaq, NYSE Euronext; and co-location data centers offered by Equinix, Sungard, Switch and Data, Savvis, the Secure Financial Transaction Infrastructure (SFTI) and Telx.
