Pacswitch Architecture: Unified PoPs in Shanghai
Pacswitch’s global network provides global businesses with fast and reliable SaaS and cloud access from any location in the world. Our Points-of-Presence (POPs) are located in Shanghai, and have been strategically designed to give end-users optimal transfer and processing speeds for Cloud and SaaS applications.
Our HyperScale PoP infrastructure supports sophisticated network and security frameworks and requirements at the cloud-edge as part of a unified PoP architecture. The Pacswitch architecture delivers numerous advantages vs more traditional transport PoPs or even virtual PoPs and is the foundation for a Zero Trust WAN approach. These advantages include:
- Minimal latency: 180ms from London to HongKong and 20ms from Hong Kong to Shanghai.
- Supported by Equinix’s SH6 data centers strategically located in the heart of Shanghai to give customers access to some of the fastest-growing markets in the world.
- Sophisticated services processing that combines routing, switching, compute,
and storage, leveraging a unified architecture that scales to any number of enterprise customers required to ensure regional or global application performance and security
The Pacswitch Services PoP architecture and global footprint delivers unparalleled connectivity to enterprises wherever their employees and applications reside. It is an ideal foundation on which to deploy advanced functionality that now includes security, futureproofing the digital enterprise.
We decided to add a network Point-of-Presence (PoP) within the Equinix colocation campus located in Shanghai to allow customers to directly interconnect with subsea capacity services worldwide. This strategic deployment provides access to the Pacswitch domestic and global network and helps increase network efficiency for customers.
