Network providers Telx and HKCOLO announced on Monday that they have
entered into a strategic partnership.
Telx's New York facilities, carrying over 180 network providers, and HKCOLO's Hong Kong facilities, serving over 160 network carriers, are teaming up in the interest of strengthening trans-Pacific and global communications networks.
The goal of the alliance is to foster business opportunities between US, Chinese and international carriers. Carriers and large enterprise network customers in both sites will no longer need to establish a physical point of presence overseas to interconnect with others in a different hemisphere.
"The alliance unifies two leading interconnection facilities into one and brings huge connectivity opportunities to those residing in the two facilities", said Mr. SH Cheng, CEO of HKCOLO. "Under this agreement, carriers with different technologies in the two sites will reap the benefit of new business opportunities by realizing that their potential partners expanded many fold."
"This alliance between telx and HKCOLO is a sign of the future," says Hunter Newby, chief strategic officer of telx. "We look forward to the success of this joint-agreement and heartily welcome HKCOLO to the telx partnership program."
