Global Cloud Xchange (GCX) has signed a dual strategic initiative to provide its IP transit solutions to CMC Telecom in Hong Kong and Singapore, while the latter will deploy a Virtual Point of Presence (vPoP) for GCX in Hanoi. CMC Telecom is a Vietnam-based firm, while GCX is the submarine cable unit of the Anil Ambani-controlled Reliance Communications (RCom).
This strategic arrangement will enable GCX to expand its network reach in IndoChina and leverage CMC Telecom’s network to deliver low-latency and secure connectivity solutions for its customers. CMC Telecom, in turn, will get access to GCX’s high-performance IP Transit global network, GCX said in a statement.
“South-East Asia is a key growth market for GCX, and building our presence in Vietnam fills an important gap in that strategy,” said Fabrizio Civitarese, President of Asia-Pacific, GCX. This partnership will help both companies to provide additional value-added services across the fastest-growing economies in Asia, it added.
