Our proven track record of interconnecting ecosystems
Enterprises came to
re-architect their IT, access
the cloud, reduce costs and
improve user experience.
Ecosystems emerged,
beginning with financial
services customers and
followed by content
providers.
Content providers came
to connect to networks to
reach end users.
Networks came to connect
to other networks to scale
the internet.
Cloud providers joined to
capitalize on our network
density and reach enterprises.

Western Canada faces some unique challenges…
All public Clouds
within Canada are
currently deployed
in Toronto
…in architecting for a Digital Edge & accessing Public Clouds
There are limited
Network Service
Providers in
Western Canada
Data must be
transmitted along
Canadian fiber
paths to Public
Cloud onramps
in Toronto
Limited access within
Western Canada
Data sovereignty concerns can
lead to additional complications
There are very limited
fiber paths that run
West to East and even
fewer that maintain
sovereignty – many follow
the same fiber path or
add latency

Data Distribution helps solve for latency/redundancy
Alleviates challenges to both Public Cloud & East/West transit
Best case latency

The challenge:
Vancouver
Toronto
Seattle
Using Performance Hub topology,
migrating Edge Routing, Switching, Firewalls
& Database storage helps solve for latency
between Enterprise & public cloud, and
optimize performance
Leveraging emerging SD-WAN
technologies will support
route redundancy and
optimize route availability over
EPL or MPLS topologies
No data sovereignty requirements?
Latency to Public Cloud Onramps in
Seattle is 2.6ms – a great option to
bring the onramp closer to where the
end users are located & applications
are being consumed
