Apr, 2001 : Cable & Wireless Opens New Hosting Center in Santa Clara

📅 April 20, 2001 - Global Telecommunications group Cable & Wireless announced on Wednesday that it had opened a new 63,000 square foot Internet solutions center in Santa Clara, California. Coming shortly after the launch of the company's second hosting center in Osaka last week, the new facility brings Cable & Wireless's total number of hosting centers in operation to 22 worldwide.
According to the company, Cable & Wireless's global IP network and hosting centers are integral in supporting its global managed hosting strategy, and its commitment to meeting the growing demand for managed hosting services.
Cable & Wireless says the opening of new hosting centers over the past year in the US, UK, Europe and Japan, combined with the company's expanding suite of hosting services have given it a strong position as a leader in the web hosting market.
The Santa Clara hosting center replaces an existing facility in the heart of Silicon Valley, and according to Cable & Wireless, is designed specifically to support the growing demand for outsourced managed hosting services, which Forrester Research predicts will grow to nearly $11 billion by the year 2004.
With the addition of the new Santa Clara facility, Cable & Wireless has increased its hosting space worldwide to a total of approximately 420,000 square feet.
Each of Cable & Wireless's hosting centers is connected directly to the company's tier one global IP network. The company announced the completion of phase two of its global network build program in December of 2000, and now has 49 nodes operational around the world, with 23 in the US, 24 across Europe and two in Asia Pacific. When completed, the network will operate at OC-192 capacity and incorporate 84 international nodes within the same autonomous system.
