CHONGQING, CHINA, 27 March 2013 – Pacnet today opened its Tier III data center in Chongqing, China, bolstering coverage of its network in China and adding to its advanced data center footprint in the Asia Pacific region. The opening follows closely on the heels of several recent developments that have expanded the reach and capacity of Pacnet’s network in China and the region.

The data center fully harnesses Pacnet’s unrivaled infrastructure in Asia Pacific as it provides direct access to Points of Presence (PoPs) in China as well as Pacnet’s wholly-owned subsea cable network. It will serve the company’s growing body of enterprise and carrier customers doing business in China and seeking access to one of the world’s largest and fastest growing digital populations.

“The opening of this data center is another significant milestone in Pacnet’s ability to provide network carriers and enterprises with the high-capacity data, network management and e-commerce needs to serve the online community in China,” said Jim Fagan, President of Managed Services, Pacnet. “A booming economy and an increasingly Internet-savvy population are driving the growth of data center services in the country. We are privileged to be the only foreign equity joint venture to provide this level of service in Chongqing and thank the Chongqing municipal government for its support.”

Speaking at the official opening ceremony, Huang Qifan, Mayor of Chongqing, said, “The Pacnet Chongqing Data Center will play a significant role in advancing Chongqing to be at the forefront of the cloud computing industry in China, and in accelerating the economic development of Chongqing as well as the Liangjiang New Area.”

Frost & Sullivan estimates that China’s data center services market is growing at a compound annual growth rate of 26% per year and will reach US$3.2 billion in 2017 . In particular, the proliferation of online gaming, social networking, search engines and content providers will spur demand for third-party data centers, according to Frost & Sullivan.

The DTN-X platform provides Pacnet with what we believe is the industry’s most technologically advanced solution for 100 Gb/s services and is the largest regional deployment of 100 Gb/s technology to date.

Pacnet owns and operates EAC and C2C, Asia’s leading state-of-the-art fiber optic submarine cable networks with 21 cable landing stations extending from India to the U.S. The network spans 46,800 km and serves global customers with a comprehensive range of network and managed services.

“The Infinera DTN-X FlexCoherent modulation capabilities, integrated control plane, and seamless subsea to terrestrial integration with the existing network further enhances our Data Center connectivity and network virtualization strategy,” said Andy Lumsden, Pacnet Chief Technology Officer. “The ability to deliver and commission the DTN-X rapidly meant that our network upgrade was fully deployed within nine weeks, allowing us to deliver services to customers with a high level of confidence and resilience. The Infinera solution greatly advances our Layer 3 to Optical convergence and Network-as-a-Service initiatives.”

Infinera is the first to deliver 500 Gb/s long-haul super-channels based on Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) and the FlexCoherent^TM Processor, scaling transport capacity without scaling operational complexity. Infinera’s PICs combine multiple optical subsystems on a single IC and results in fewer fiber connections, less space, and less power when compared to conventional systems based upon discrete components.

Today, Infinera introduced FastSMP^TM, what we believe is the industry’s only hardware accelerated Shared Mesh Protection technology. FastSMP^TM will deliver dramatic improvements in network-wide resilience to service providers while lowering total network costs.

“Pacnet operates one of the most robust and physically meshed SLTE networks in the world and we believe that the DTN-X with its FastSMP^TM capability compliments the needs of Pacnet and its customers by offering the highest service levels within the region,” said Andrew Bond Webster, VP APAC Sales for Infinera.

The Infinera DTN-X increases network efficiency by converging 500Gb/s long-haul super- channels with 5 Terabits of integrated OTN switching per bay, resulting in much more efficient utilization when compared to conventional WDM architectures. Infinera’s Bandwidth Virtualization^TM simplifies service deployment, enabling operators to deploy networks in days and services in minutes, thereby lowering operational costs.

TIANJIN, CHINA, 5 December 2012 – Pacnet today announced the signing of a definitive agreement with the Tianjin Wuqing government to jointly develop a data center in the Tianjin Wuqing Business District located in the Wuqing district in Tianjin, China.

Officials from MIIT, Tianjin Economic and Information Technology Commission, Wuqing District government and Carl Grivner, Chief Executive Officer of Pacnet were present at the signing ceremony held today in Wuqing. As part of the agreement, Pacnet’s equity joint venture in China, Pacnet Business Solutions (China) or PBS, and the Tianjin Wuqing government will build and operate a data center in the Tianjin Wuqing Business District that is capable of hosting 2,000 racks, making it one of Pacnet’s largest data centers.

“We are excited to work with the Tianjin Wuqing government to support their latest initiative to develop the Tianjin Wuqing Business District into a leading IT hub in North China,” said Mr. Grivner. “We believe our strong international presence coupled with our local China expertise, will enable us to support Tianjin’s development into a key technology hub in North China.”

The Tianjin Wuqing Business District is strategically located between Beijing and Tianjin and an ideal location for enterprises looking to grow in North China.

“We are delighted to partner with Pacnet to deliver advanced data center capabilities in the Tianjin Wuqing Business District to meet the increasing demand for these services by the growing numbers of enterprises that are setting up here,” said Zhang Yong, Secretary of Wuqing District Committee of the CPC, at the signing ceremony.

“With the international expertise from Pacnet, the new data center will be constructed and operated to meet international standards for sustainability and efficiency. This will support the latest efforts by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to promote the development of green data centers in China,” said Xie Zhigang, Director of Cloud Research Center, MIIT.
