HGC Global Communications (HGC), a leading Hong Kong and international fixed-line operator on Monday announced the deployment of HGC International Marketplace with Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) on its flagship data center, BDx.
HGC International Marketplace, which enables the interoperability among different segments of carriers, enterprises and developers, among others, is a dynamic development of HGC. HGC is making its NaaS marketplace available to all BDx data centers operating an on-net infrastructure connectivity between the individual data centers, and hence instantaneously enriching the BDx service portfolio and coverage. Leveraging HGC's robust global Layer-2 network connection managed by the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) architecture and centralized controller OpenKilda, this will enable BDx customers to connect to any of the data centers on-demand and more efficiently on the single-pane International Marketplace with a centralized view of the entire network as it scales. In addition, through HGC, data center customers can continuously reach different global public cloud services such as AWS, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, as well as international Internet Exchanges like AMS-IX, LINX, DE-CIX, to meet the needs of ISPs and global OTTs.
HGC, as in industry-leading global carrier with an extensive fiber network connecting with hundreds of world-class telecom operators, is dedicated to enriching current infrastructure services in Asia, in particular the capabilities in the emerging ASEAN and IndoChina markets.
