PPC-1 built by PIPE Networks, an Australian IX, fiber and carrier neutral colo provider, uses a CLS in Cromer NSW (“Sydney”) that is also a PIPE data center. Unfortunately PIPE got acquired by TPG and their IX platform is limping along on life support these days.

That is like only one I am aware, doing business is quite horrible there. Everything is over priced, slow burocraric.

Sometimes there isn't a choice, i.e. islands or other constrained geographies. But I am not a fan of combining cable landing stations and datacenters/internet exchange points either. I always want my IXPs and data centers to be connected to multiple cable systems, again maybe constrained by geographic concerns. I've also found the construction requirements of landing stations and data centers to be different. You almost always end up compromising one or the other when you combine them. Nevertheless, there are some countries and islands with only one landing station, and not enough domestic eyeballs to support major infrastructure deployment. It might be better than nothing in those cases, but I would always prefer something else. None of those places would be in my top 20 list for deploying anything. Maybe if I needed to reach 120+ countries. -- Mehmet +1-424-298-1903
