Alliance International Management (AIM) has signed a partnership agreement with Gulf Cooperation Council Interconnection Authority (GCCIA) to provide digital infrastructure services in the Middle Eastern region using GCCIA fibre optic terrestrial cable system.
According to sources, the GCCIA cable system which will be used by the Alliance Networks runs over power grid offers connectivity to all GCC countries, allowing Alliance Networks to provide high bandwidth and capacity to customers, carriers, cloud and content providers.
Alliance Networks is slated for launch in the near future and seeks to simplify the digital infrastructure business by providing a concise offering that unifies connectivity to data centers & internet exchange services across hubs in the Middle East specifically in the Gulf with interconnected data center and internet exchange platform solutions.
Alliance Networks will enable carriers, enterprises, cloud, and content providers to benefit from accelerated access to networking and data center infrastructure across the region, through a single platform, contract, and experience.
“The first phase of the project is defined as the “interconnection” phase in which, all GCC countries will be interconnected to function as a single region/country and thus, addressing the need for seamless regional connectivity. This phase brings cloud, content, and communications to the edge and closer to users across the Middle East.” Said Mr Adel Al Daylami, CEO AIM.
This partnership will provide enhanced network performance, low latency, direct one-hop cloud connectivity, and Internet peering services to the majority of the digital service providers across the GCC . It will also address low-latency edge requirements and ensure seamless content delivery to the last mile through a robust footprint of network nodes spread across the region.
