Fresh water might not be in your scope for the article, but I believe crosslakefibre.ca operates a link across Lake Ontario, Buffalo to Toronto at TORIX 151 Front Street, but you'd need to verify with them if indeed the landing comes directly into the facility, this may be the case though as lake water is used for cooling within the facility providing conduits already in place. Can't wait to read the article! Regards, Andrew Paolucci ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On Friday, November 15, 2019 6:20 PM, Javier J <javier@advancedmachines.us> wrote:
I would think that just a few extra fractions of a second from the cable station to a DC/IX are better than a DC/IX near the beach where water can wipe it all out. Preferably DC/IX should be on the 2nd or third floor IMHO on some islands.

Some Caribbean islands had IXs in landing stations early on IIRC. Usually before the island built it’s first datacenter.
Some of them were better/faster about moving to the datacenter once it was established than others.

I think AMS-IX had an exchange in Mombasa in the SEACOM landing station at some point, but that is gone now. I'm not sure about the exact reasons there but someone here probably knows what happened.
There's also a big amount of carriers in the TATA landing station in Mumbai, it is the second-largest in that market just behind GPX in terms of carrier density at least according to PeeringDB.

Hey there
I have been putting my thoughts on Infrapedia blog and sharing with folks like
https://www.infrapedia.com/post/top20cities-datacenters
I am working on a new article and this time my topic will be looking at cable landing stations(cls). Do you consider cable landing stations as a datacenter? Do you have any experience deploying a pop in CLS? Are you able to share (on or off record) your experience which I can refer as your experience (good or bad) why deploying a pop inside a CLS is good or bad idea. Any additional comments..
I am not a big fan of CLS deployments. They have limited networks ( like only carriers and no eyeballs) and very expensive connectivity (usually)
Thank you in advance sharing your experience
Mehmet
