This strategic deployment is set to enhance the company's ability to offer high-performance and low-latency services to existing customers as well as to new clients looking to establish connections in the Pacific Northwest region.
The Portland POP is situated within the Pittock Block, a notable building within the area recognized for its high concentration of network providers and as a leading Internet Exchange Point (IXP). The facility is pivotal as it provides customers with direct access to a vast ecosystem of interconnections, thereby enabling a seamless flow of data across multiple channels.
Mark Mahle, CEO of NetActuate, highlighted the importance of this development, stating, "The launch of our new Portland POP further strengthens our footprint in the Pacific Northwest and enhances our ability to support customers across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond." This expansion follows a similar move in Seattle earlier this year, broadening reach and resilience for NetActuate's clientele.
The Pittock Block is a robust building spanning eight stories and encompassing 302,262 square feet. Notably, it boasts 120,000 square feet dedicated to premium data center space, allowing for a highly efficient and reliable service offering. With connections to more than 170 service providers, the facility ensures high-speed physical cross-connects to major platforms such as AWS, making it a key hub for various types of enterprises, cloud solutions, media companies, and service providers in need of stable global connectivity.
Additionally, the Pittock Block is home to 16 fiber optic carriers and seven subsea cable links, which provide direct access to vital international regions including China, Japan, Taiwan, and New Zealand, among others. This infrastructure enables clients to engage in global markets with minimal latency, a critical requirement for modern digital services.
