On March 22 at 1 p.m. (ET), the Henrico Economic Development Authority will host “The Past, Present & Future” webinar as the fifth installment of its award-winning Internet Infrastructure webinar series. It is produced in collaboration with InterGlobix, a global consultancy company focused on the convergence of data centers, subsea cables, and terrestrial fiber. This discussion will detail the meteoric rise of Henrico, Virginia, as a data connectivity powerhouse.

Industry leaders will provide a detailed overview of the QTS Data Center, housed in the locality’s White Oak Technology Park (WOTP). The facility offers access to four subsea cables that provide the fastest data speeds on the planet. It also leverages the new DE-CIX Richmond, a revolutionary global Internet exchange (IX) platform that is part of the largest carrier and data center neutral interconnection ecosystem in North America.

The new partnership with DE-CIX provides a virtually instant connection with the leading IX operator’s more than 2,400 networks and 500 data centers in 14 countries around the world. As for speed, in one-third of a second – the time of a single blink – data can travel from Henrico to Europe and back.
