1-Net and Burst Networks are collaborating to develop network connectivity between 1-Net’s data center in Singapore and Burst’s data center in Myanmar.
The two data centers will be connected by a network operated by Campana Group consisting of two subsea and terrestrial routes.
“This high-speed data center corridor is unprecedented and will support many value-added services on this platform. With this seamless connection and one network model both Burst and 1-Net are able to achieve the lowest latency and highest quality link for their customers,” Campana Group CEO Dr Myo Ohn said.
Burst will also serve as Myanmar’s first Internet Exchange, connecting international networks to local operators and ISPs. This exchange known as “Burst Connectivity Hub” will also support a Transmission Facility designed to host satellite and cable termination facilities and fully redundant systems as well as C-Band and Ka-Band satellite facilities.
The projects form part of a wider agreement for 1-Net to provide operational support for Burst Networks’ Uptime Institute certified Tier IV data center at Thilawa Special Economic Zone (SEZ) on the outskirts of Yangon, the largest city in Myanmar.
The aim is to support Burst Networks by providing the highest level of data center security, network best practices and reliability when they deliver their services to their clients’ mission-critical operations.
“We are glad to work with Burst Networks to support their data center operations in Myanmar. It is 1-Net’s inaugural collaboration in Myanmar and we see the immense potential for data center business in this emerging market,” 1-Net Singapore managing director Wong Ka Vin said.
