GTT Completes Global 400G and Cloud Networking Upgrades
GTT Communications, Inc. a leading global provider of secure cloud
networking solutions for multinational organizations, has announced
the completion of the deployment of state-of-the-art IP networking
technology across its backbone. This upgrade enables customers to
easily increase port capacity from 400G to 800G as market trends
like AI continue to drive growth in traffic volumes and is
available through its AI-enabled network across six continents. GTT
has also invested in expanding access to its global network
footprint with new Points-of-Presence and cloud interconnections.
GTT owns and operates one of the largest internet backbones in
the world, enabling a significant percentage of the world’s
internet traffic to privately transit its network. Investments in
the network edge include:
- New PoPs throughout the United States and Turkey
- Enhancements to GTT’s Cloud Connect offering with new private
connections directly to Microsoft Azure in the United States,
Singapore, and Australia and to Amazon Web Services in the United
States, France, Sweden, Hong Kong, and Singapore
- Upgrades to GTT’s 10 global scrubbing centers to ensure faster
identification of DDoS and spoofing attacks, using mitigation
devices with advanced inspection detection capabilities and 24/7
always-on protection maintained by GTT operations centers
“We are investing in our network to support the market’s growing
demand for secure network capacity, by rapidly responding to the
needs of customers located around the world while maintaining
operational excellence,” said George Kuzmanovski, COO, GTT.
“Customer needs for networking connectivity are rapidly evolving
driven by shifts in traffic patterns and volume growth. GTT is
continually expanding to meet the demand for connecting people and
machines to their data and applications where and when they need
it.”
This global IP network upgrade allows for better decision-making
and traffic routing through telemetry, machine learning and
AI-enhanced resolution handling supporting AIOps with self-healing
functionalities. These network investments have allowed for a
smarter, faster and more secure network, using approximately 70%
less energy per transported bit. Measures such as retiring legacy
equipment have reduced rack space, saving electricity.
