NETWORK SERVICES
Globix operates its own international fibre-optic backbone network connecting major cities in the United States and Europe. The Globix international network is being upgraded to 32Gbps capacity, comprising a 6,270-mile OC-48 fibre-optic ring connecting the SuperPOP Internet Data Centres and POPs (Points of Presence) in the United States; a 1,625-mile (2,600 km) STM-16 ring in Europe; and two STM-1 trans-Atlantic connections between the United States and Europe.

The network also includes 11 POPs in Amsterdam, Chicago, Frankfurt, Geneva, London, Madrid, Milan, New York City, Paris, Santa Clara and Washington, D.C.

The Globix network is designed for speed, resiliency, high availability and low latency. Globix keeps its network under-utilised so its Internet traffic speeds to its destination with fewer hops along the way. Globix has built one of the largest peering networks on the Internet, with more than 1,330 peering-connection agreements, so its traffic takes the quickest route to its destination and avoids congested public exchange points.

Globix operates SuperPOP Internet Data Centres in New York, Santa Clara and London, with additional Internet Data Centres in Atlanta and Washington, D.C. These Centres offer state-of-the-art facilities including:
