GTT Communications, Inc. has announced that it has expanded its partnership with Ziply Fiber to establish a new network Point of Presence (PoP) to serve the fast-growing data center market in Portland, Oregon. The new PoP is providing an initial 400G of capacity to customers in the U.S.Pacific Northwest region and will expand the power of GTT's global Tier 1 IP network by offering an additional option for customers to connect in 11 major data centers and the Hillsboro subsea cable landing station, expanding the reach of GTT via Ziply Fiber's high-count Silicon Forest fiber cross connection service. Ziply Fiber's network was architected to meet the increasing digital demands and was engineered to be fully redundant, with a dual infrastructure that maintains customer connections even when issues arise.

Ziply Fiber maintains a four-state footprint in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana and has built redundancies into its network to avoid service interruptions, while updating routing to steer clear of congestion across the broader internet. This ensures content is accessible directly on the fiber backbone and can be accessed more quickly.
