SINGAPORE /PRNewswire/ -- Global Cloud Xchange
(GCX), a subsidiary of Reliance Communications
(RCOM), today
announced the expansion of Singapore-India connectivity to a broader base of global
enterprises and carriers.
GCX will acquire
capacity on the TIC cable between Singapore and Chennai,
which will be extended across the
seven Indian Capital Cities on GCX domestic network
within India. This terrestrial and submarine network will
play a key role in Reliance's expansion of its Cloud Xchange (Cloud
X) nodes which will be the terminal points across this new
network.
"We are pleased
to utilize the existing subsea cable infrastructure to deliver
immediate capacity to meet growing requirements of our global
business customers," said Bill Barney, CEO of Reliance Communications
(Enterprise) and GCX. "This will also support our digital backbone
as we complete deployment of our Cloud X nodes acrossIndia."
Based on current
100G technology, GCX will be able to deliver significant capacity
across this important Singapore-India route with the
ability to further upgrade in the future
based on technological advancements and market
demand. The
new capacity will interconnect with RCOM's established
network of data centers, connected byIndia's largest terrestrial fiber network
which also connects seamlessly into GCX's global
infrastructure -- the
world's largest privately owned subsea cable system.
While RCOM's
infrastructure already constitutes a vital core
of India's digital backbone, the
enhanced Singapore-India connectivity will deliver further
diversity to meet growing market demands. "This will be a
mission-critical component in the digital transformation
of India and its connectivity to the world,"
Barney added.
