Telehouse Los Angeles, also referred to as the Los Angeles Center or 626W, was established in 1998 and is located in the centre of the city’s hi-tech district. In 2000, Telehouse America established the first NYIIX Los Angeles, a peering gateway to the Asia-Pacific Rim. The carrier neutral Los Angeles data centre offers access to a vast array of connectivity carriers.
Built on a carrier class, high speed Layer-2 platform, NYIIX LA offers seamless switching fabrics at two important carrier locations in Los Angeles: Telehouse Los Angeles/626 Wilshire Blvd. and 1 Wilshire. Internet service providers, carriers and content providers are able to cost effectively exchange IP traffic at speeds up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet, which allows reduced transit costs and increases overall performance. It serves as a strategic internet gateway connecting the United Sates to the Asia Pacific region. Its fast switching capabilities offer both primary and secondary IP routing options which ensure advanced peering options for transit providers.
Telehouse America, through a strategic alliance with Seccuris Inc, offers the expertise in technology and the consulting personnel to provide network monitoring and vulnerability assessments also for its Los Angeles data centre customers. These services are designed to protect the overall integrity of customers’ critical assets.
