RICHMOND, Va., May 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- QTS Realty
Trust (NYSE: QTS), a leading provider of hybrid colocation and
mega scale data center solutions along with QTS Richmond
NAP, industry's first and only Network Access Point
(NAP) in the central region of the US Seaboard, an International
Interconnection and Peering Point in Richmond, VA and InterGlobix LLC, a
global solutions company focused on the convergence of datacenters,
terrestrial fiber and subsea fiber announced today that InterGlobix
will be leading the Subsea Panel and InterGlobix Magazine, owned by
InterGlobix, will be the Official Media Partner of the Inaugural
NAP Summit. Opening remarks will be provided by Vint Cerf, co-founder of the Internet.
The Subsea Panel will take place at 10:00
am EDT on Tuesday May 7th, and will have
industry leaders from Microsoft, Facebook and Telxius participate
in the Summit's most prestigious panel discussion. These companies
have been the pioneers in bringing the first subsea cable, MAREA to
land on the shore of the Commonwealth of Virginia from Sopelana, Spain. Additionally, Telxius, the
telecommunication infrastructure company of the Telefónica Group,
operates the BRUSA subsea cable, the first high-speed, low-latency
subsea cable to connect North
America to South America.
These industry-leading cables provide direct, high-speed and
low-latency connectivity from America to Europe and can be accessed from the QTS
Richmond NAP.
As part of the partnership with InterGlobix, the QTS Richmond
NAP inaugural summit will be editorially covered in an exclusive
feature story on the summit in the next edition of the InterGlobix
Magazine. The premier publication has rapidly become a favorite of
various industry professionals globally across the datacenter and
connectivity industry. InterGlobix Magazine, a globally
distinguished publication is the Official Media Partner for the QTS
Richmond NAP Summit.
The Inaugural QTS Richmond NAP Summit is attracting industry
luminaries, including leaders from Facebook, Google, Microsoft, AWS
and Telxius who will all be converging on May 7th at the NAP to discuss
Richmond's development as the
emerging Global Internet Interconnection Hub in the Eastern United States with faster routing to
major cities than the existing cables while also establishing an
effective Ashburn bypass relieving
congestion and lowering costs for end users.
Vint Cerf, Chief Evangelist for
Google, also known as one of the co-inventers of the Internet, recently noted,
"The subsea cables that terminate in Richmond have opened an amazing opportunity
for Henrico County to become a
LOCUS for both domestic and international applications. That gives
good reason for the creation of the QTS Richmond NAP, a place where
multiple providers and Internet services can meet, connect and
reach the international cables that link Virginia to other parts of the world."
"InterGlobix has been a great partner in leading the efforts for
the formation of the Richmond NAP and building the momentum for
this important initiative in the Internet Infrastructure industry.
We have also partnered with the premier publication InterGlobix
Magazine as a media partner featuring an exclusive story in the
June edition," said Clint Heiden,
CRO of QTS Data Centers and Founder & Member of QTS Richmond
NAP.
"Diversity to the Internet is extremely important and the
formation of a NAP of this magnitude is a very rare event. The
May 7th Inaugural NAP
Summit is only the beginning of this initiative; the results of
which will be visible in the years to come, from an economic,
business development and technical standpoint leading to diversity
and growth of the Internet," said Vinay
Nagpal, President of InterGlobix and Founder & Member of
QTS Richmond NAP.
