Roundup: South Reach expands network, AWS Local Zones reach Houston and Miami
Florida-based South Reach Networks (SRN) says it is deploying the equipment necessary to offer high capacity 10G,100G, and 400G Ethernet and Wavelength services across its networks as part of its expansion throughout the Southeast United States.
According to the announcement, this is part of a critical ongoing project to both light and interconnect key data centers and enterprise buildings from the Atlanta region through greater Jacksonville and onto Miami with the goal of an estimated 15 data centers slated to become fully connected by Q4 2021.
SRN is also in the process of augmenting connectivity to several new connections to key Cable Landing Stations along the coast, enabling data centers and carriers to access these vital subsea routes connecting the Caribbean and LATAM with North America. Leveraging its Metro Jacksonville, Boca Raton and Miami fiber networks, SRN is actively engineering new routes to support the growing demand of large enterprise and tech firms relocating and setting up new offices in these cities.
The telecommunications infrastructure provider has also been focused on supporting the vertical around the MDU and HOA developments that are geographically located on or near our fiber network throughout the state.
More AWS Local Zones
New AWS Local Zones are now available for use in Boston, Houston and Miami, CRN reports, and the company has plans to launch twelve more later this year.
An AWS Local Zone brings AWS compute, storage, database and other services close to large population, industry and IT centers, allowing customers to local run applications that require single-digit millisecond latency in geographic proximity to end-users.
AWS now has five Local Zones after launching its first in Los Angeles for end-users in the southern California area in December 2019 and adding a second one there last August.
The 12 additional AWS Local Zones expected this year will be in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland and Seattle.
