Hibernia Networks: Low-Latency Platform to Optimize Connectivity Service Performance

Transferring large data sets over the internet is time consuming and may contend with other business critical traffic in organizations. Enterprises aim to connect with other global IP peers at the fastest internet speed possible. “Simply increasing internet bandwidth builds up further costs and may not optimize the cost efficiencies to meet the peak demand that other more flexible solutions might yield,” says Al DiGabriele, SVP of Product and Marketing, Hibernia Networks. Founded in 2003, Hibernia Networks provides a high capacity network with low-latency capabilities facilitating direct connections to the key international financial trading and commercial centers. “Our customers have access to a global footprint, scalable bandwidth, and throughput connectivity for the exchanges in the cloud,” adds DiGabriele. The company provides fiber connectivity that offers the fastest connection between major financial hubs such as New York and London as well as Chicago and Frankfurt.

Hibernia Networks is an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Technology Partner supporting AWS Direct Connect. Since the partnership, Hibernia Networks has enhanced the availability of dedicated network connections for customers from their current AWS locations, consolidating client-servers into a virtual and global marketplace. “We support AWS Direct Connect to ensure business continuity, serving as a secure, high speed connectivity link between AWS and their customers,” notes DiGabriele. Hibernia benefits AWS Direct Connect customers by providing a more consistent network experience than Internet-based connectivity. Their global network features over 220 points of presence (PoPs) in the major regions of the world. By utilizing Hibernia Networks’ high capacity network, AWS customers are able to access hundreds of global network points including U.S., Europe, and Asia at reduced costs and increased bandwidth throughput. “We have engineered our network with route diversity to avoid a single point of failure,” he adds.

Hibernia provides a suite of global connectivity solutions that includes optical transport services, Ethernet-based services, and internet exchange connectivity. The company also offers a content delivery network (CDN) platform as well as point-to-point media and broadcast solutions. The Ethernet connection supports customers deploying their own VLANs.
