Already established at Equinix in Toronto, and Cologix in Vancouver and Montreal, Hurricane Electric reported that it is continuing its commitment to the Canadian market with these two new locations, and will provide high speed IPv4 and IPv6 Internet connectivity through 100BaseT, 1GigE, 10Gbps, and 100GE service. "We are pleased to offer reliable and cost-effective connectivity options while strengthening our commitment to the Canadian market," said Mike Leber, President of Hurricane Electric. "Customers of both Global Server Centre in Winnipeg and DataHive in Calgary will have access to the depth and reach of Hurricane Electric's global network, allowing for reduced router hops and improved fault tolerance." The Company said it deployed IPv6 on its global backbone in 2001. Hurricane Electric's global Internet backbone is one of the few that is IPv6-native and does not rely on internal tunnels for its IPv6 connectivity. IPv6 is offered as a core service and every customer is provided IPv6 connectivity, as well as classic IPv4 connectivity.
