The collaboration was announced at the first edition of Atlantic Convergence in Lisbon, a conference that aims to unite visionaries, knowledge owners, power users, and digital infrastructure architects from both sides of the Atlantic.
This partnership will allow Altice LDV’s customers to swiftly interconnect with the thousands of networks - both local and global - already present on the DE-CIX platform and help grow the already largest neutral interconnection ecosystem in Southern Europe.
The new Altice LDV data center presents itself as the open and carrier neutral alternative for interconnection of networks in Lisbon. Located in the center of an area full of telecommunications infrastructure, it gives its customers easy connectivity between the facility and cable landing stations, teleports, other data centers and long-haul terrestrial networks.
For DE-CIX, this will become its third premium enabled site in Lisbon, extending its carrier and data center neutral ecosystem across the region and beyond.
“We are happy to partner with Altice Wholesale Solutions to implement another enabled site for DE-CIX Lisbon. This will extend the reach of the platform and strengthen the ecosystem in Portugal, an important subsea cable and interconnection hub and gateway to the Iberian Peninsula and Europe as a whole,” said Theresa Bobis, Regional Director Southern Europe at DE-CIX. “The distributed design of the DE-CIX platform enables local and international networks to exchange data traffic closer to the end-users, ensuring lower latency and greater resilience and promoting increasing levels of digitalization through easy access to content, clouds and applications.”
“We are very pleased to have DE-CIX’s platform available to our customers in Altice LDV. With DE-CIX’s impressive footprint and with the connectivity brought by this new data center, we will for sure push the number of networks collocated and interconnected in Lisbon,” says Alexander Freese, Altice Chief Operations Officer.
The Portuguese coast has always been strategic to generate connections, as it is the gateway to Europe, the Atlantic and Africa. The ecosystem is now showing signs of fast growth with new submarine cables like Equiano, 2Africa or Medusa reaching Lisbon shores, new satellite gateways being hosted on its metro area teleport, investment in new long haul fiber routes and new data center projects being developed. All this adds to an already rich environment.
