As a DataCenter in Costa Rica its important to inform our clientele of the interconnection dependency between latin america and United States provided by this datacenter, hence the reason of this note. Being the Equinix NAP a datacenter designed to survive Hurricane Cat 5 events we don't expect major effects, however we all need to be aware that secondary infrastructure might be affected, which could cause recoil effects on Equinix NAP core services affecting Racknation clients.
We will update our clients of any further developments or information we receive from our Equinix contacts, we appreciate the attention to this important communication.
Estimado cliente,
tal como se ha informado en las noticias recientemente, Miami Florida está en el paso del gran huracán Irma, porque esto es importante para los clientes de Racknation?
En Miami Florida se encuentra el famoso Nap de las Americas, un gran centro de datos operado por Equinix en donde literalmente interconectan todos los proveedores de Internet que comunican a Latino America con los Estados Unidos.
En el caso de Racknation nosotros tenemos presencia en el NAP y es donde interconectamos con proveedores como Telia o Columbus Networks para luego traer la conectividad hasta Costa Rica. Como centro de datos creemos importante notificar a nuestros clientes de está situación que podria afectar las comunicaciones entre latino america y norteamerica. Hemos estado en contacto con el NAP y ellos se encuentran tomando las previsiones del caso, siendo un centro de datos diseñado para soportar eventos catastróficos como Huracanes Categoría 5 no esperamos se den afectaciones sin embargo un evento de tal magnitud podria afectar infraestructura secundaria que podria interrumpir ciertos servicios del NAP lo cual eventualmente podría generar afectaciones en Racknation.
En caso de recibir mas información de parte de Equinix NAP estaremos en contacto con nuestros clientes.
