Re: Landing Stations used as datacenter

[Martijn Schmidt via NANOG <nanog () nanog org>]

I think AMS-IX had an exchange in Mombasa in the SEACOM landing station at some point, but that is gone now. I'm not 
sure about the exact reasons there but someone here probably knows what happened.

There's also a big amount of carriers in the TATA landing station in Mumbai, it is the second-largest in that market 
just behind GPX in terms of carrier density at least according to PeeringDB.

Best regards,
Martijn

Hey there

I have been putting my thoughts on Infrapedia blog and sharing with folks like

https://www.infrapedia.com/post/top20cities-datacenters

I am working on a new article and this time my topic will be looking at cable landing stations(cls). Do you consider 
cable landing stations as a datacenter? Do you have any experience deploying a pop in CLS? Are you able to share (on or 
off record) your experience which I can refer as your experience (good or bad) why deploying a pop inside a CLS is good 
or bad idea. Any additional comments..

I am not a big fan of CLS deployments. They have limited networks ( like only carriers and no eyeballs) and very 
expensive connectivity (usually)

Thank you in advance sharing your experience

Mehmet
