Wave and Centeris reported today the completion of what they call the United States’ first transpacific broadband data and fiber hub. It combines Centeris’ 86-acre data center campus south of Seattle with Wave’s broadband fiber network.

Located at Centeris’ South Hill campus in Puyallup, WA, the Transpacific Hub (TPH) reportedly combines fast and secure connectivity with industrial IT power for businesses throughout the West Coast and Asian markets requiring data compute, storage, disaster recovery and cloud computing applications. The TPH is made possible by Wave’s fiber network in California, Oregon and Washington, as well as new fiber construction that connects directly to Asian markets via subsea cable systems.

The companies say that businesses on both sides of the Pacific now have direct access to the Centeris campus, as well as all major network access points (NAPs) and points of presence (POPs) on the West Coast, from Southern California to Canada. With the addition of Centeris, Wave is providing its fiber and networking backbone for more than 80 datacenters on the West Coast.

Centeris Board Director Simon Lee states that the solution provides customers on both sides of the Pacific with “easy and cost-effective access to our campus and more broadly, connectivity to all major West Coast commercial centers. There is strong geographic compatibility between Wave and Centeris, and we both believe that the Seattle area is an ideal location to provide the combination of data center assets, reliable and green power and fiber needed for the Transpacific Hub.”

“Integrating the power of Centeris with the connectivity of Wave provides enterprise, government and wholesale customers access to a world-class, Seattle-area facility that can also leverage data centers elsewhere or provide needed redundancy,” Patrick Knorr, Wave EVP of business, says.

Initial customers include domestic and international gaming, content, technology, logistics, ecommerce, and financial service companies. The TPH is said to be well-suited for large enterprises and other organizations that place a priority on cloud-based services and infrastructure.
