Arelion has announced it has deployed a new Point-of-Presence (PoP) at Digital Realty’s MRS4 data centre site in Marseille, France, strengthening the diversity of Arelion’s network in the region, which includes its existing PoP at Digital Realty’s MRS1 site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This new PoP provides hyperscalers and cloud and network service providers with fully diverse IP connectivity and scalable 400G wavelength solutions that bypass high-traffic routes to improve performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arelion’s network expansion enables direct access to its #1 ranked Internet backbone and full ecosystem of cloud, content and AI\/ML applications to serve the accelerating demands of Marseille’s booming technology markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Digital Realty’s MRS4 site allows Arelion to serve its customers’ requirements for scalable space and power amid rapid market expansion. Marseille has seen substantial technological investment over the past several years, establishing itself as Europe’s fastest-growing interconnection centre for intercontinental traffic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The city ranks ninth as a global data and content hub, with its data centres and subsea cables supporting innovations in content delivery, AI, cloud applications and other services. Marseille’s local PoPs have expanded significantly in the past three years to support its content exchange needs, with its submarine cable systems offering a total capacity of over 150Tbps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arelion’s new PoP directly connects to 14 major subsea cables landing in Marseille, enabling the global Internet carrier to support international traffic flows from Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. It also provides customers with local connectivity into the Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam and Paris data centre markets while supporting reliable meshing for transatlantic traffic via additional sea cables in Portugal, Bordeaux and Milan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arelion’s PoP will go live in Q1 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We’re seeing massive demand for reliable connectivity to support Marseille’s thriving technology markets as the region becomes a digital gateway for global Internet traffic, content and cloud applications,” said Christoph Lannert, Deputy Chief Commercial Officer at Arelion. “Our latest network expansion leverages high-capacity, fully diverse connectivity solutions to support subsea traffic while serving the technology requirements of local network operators and content providers, enabling economic growth in global markets through Digital Transformation.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
