HostDime’s Mexico Data Center to House GDL-IX, Latin America’s Newest IXP

HostDime’s GDL-IX peering exchange ecosystem will allow carriers and tenants to interconnect and be able to serve content to over 90% of the population in Mexico at the lowest latency.

Featured Image for HostDime

GUADALAJARA, Mexico, Feb. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HostDime Mexico is proud to announce that GDL-IX, Guadalajara’s first peering exchange, will make its home at HostDime Mexico’s current Guadalajara data center. Once HostDime completes its new Tier IV data center in Guadalajara next year, GDL-IX will be extended to the new facility as well. GDL-IX will be operational for tenants, carriers, and content providers to exchange traffic by March 17, 2023.

GDL-IX was recently approved to be launched by LAC-IX (Latin American and Caribbean Internet Exchange), an affiliate of LACNIC. This is HostDime’s second data center selected by an IXP to be a resident in a HostDime facility, with the first being the IX.br exchange point residing in their João Pessoa, Brazil, data center. HostDime is also working to set up CFL-IX (Orlando’s first peering exchange) in its upcoming Orlando Tier IV data center, which will be completed in Q2 2023.

IXPs enable networks to interconnect and exchange traffic. It functions as a central hub in the same way that an airport or train station facilitates the transfer of people between two locations. IXPs allow network data to be exchanged quickly and efficiently.

More importantly, it allows content to stay local; with GDL-IX being at HostDime’s Mexico Guadalajara data center, it will keep Internet traffic inside Guadalajara and reduce costs associated with the exchange of traffic between network carriers, content providers, and ISPs. This yields better latency, stability, efficiency, and quality, all at a lower cost. Multiple ISPs can connect their networks without having to pay for transit from another provider. This gives direct access to other providers across the globe, allowing for faster data transmission times with fewer hops than if each ISP had to rely on indirect routes through third-party transit providers. The GDL-IX peering exchange ecosystem will allow carriers and tenants to interconnect and be able to serve content to over 90% of the population in Mexico at the lowest latency.

Since its inception, HostDime has been a native carrier-neutral data center developer and operator, meaning there’s no catering to a specific fiber/telecom company. Most older-generation data centers were designed by telecoms, thus making it difficult by design for IXPs to be fostered by the network of community carriers. The network world is quickly evolving towards interconnection and a peering-first approach. With the ever-growing needs of applications and cloud providers connecting with others, this removes layers and hops, therefore increasing performance by minimizing latency.

HostDime designs its next-gen, purpose-built data centers to foster interconnection and future-proofing them by design. Four to six manhole entries are designed into each facility to ensure enough entry redundancy and capacity to provide entry to over 50+ carriers in HostDime’s diverse Meet Me Rooms over the next few decades.

HostDime is currently in the process of beginning construction on its second data center in Guadalajara, Mexico, dubbed “Andromeda”, which will be only the second Tier IV data center in Mexico. While GDL-IX will be initially housed out of HostDime’s current Guadalajara data center, it will later be extended to the new facility via a protected dual path fiber ring between both data centers. The new facility expects entry from leading local carriers such as Marcatel, MetroCarrier, Axtel, TotalPlay, Alestra, Cogent, Gold Data, Bestel, Flo Networks (Transtelco), and Telmex. This new data center will be one of the most interconnected facilities in Mexico in the next few years and will be a main interconnection point for transit and peering in Guadalajara.

HostDime is a global native carrier-neutral data center infrastructure company operating purpose-built public data center facilities in MexicoBrazilColombia, and our flagship facility in Florida, USA, and with owned networks in the U.K., India, and Hong Kong.

HostDime’s mission is to design, build, and operate purpose-built, next-gen, public data center facilities in emerging markets at the global edge. HostDime offers an array of cloud-native infrastructure products, including bare-metal servers, private cloud servers, colocation, and Hardware-as-a-Service in all our unique global edge locations.

Global Advanced Metals and Croom Medical Collaborate to Offer Tantalum Additive Manufacturing Capability

Tantalum Powder Printed Lattice

Tantalum Powder Printed Lattice

WELLESLEY, Mass., Feb. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Global Advanced Metals (USA) and Croom Medical (Ireland) are collaborating to establish a turnkey tantalum-based additive manufacturing (AM) platform. A laser powder bed fusion GE M2 Series 5 printer has been installed within Croom’s facility, with the printer being fully dedicated to the use of GAM’s tantalum AM powder. With Croom’s years of successful contract manufacturing experience, the tantalum print capability is being offered by Croom as a contract manufacturing solution, bringing the advantages of tantalum to the medical device, aerospace, and related markets.

Global Advanced Metals (GAM), headquartered in Massachusetts, USA, has more than a 70-year history of innovation and manufacturing of high-grade tantalum powders for use in electronics and other applications. GAM has more recently developed a spheriodized tantalum powder, a necessary form for use in “printing” of tantalum parts.

Based in County Limerick, Ireland, Croom Medical (Croom) has operated for more than 35 years providing contract manufacturing services to medical device (and other) OEMs. In recent years, Croom has developed an extensive capability in AM technology in collaboration with a number of academic and state-sponsored institutions and has successfully manufactured more than 20,000 devices by AM technology.

AM has a number of key advantages over traditional subtractive manufacturing processes.  AM intrinsically uses less material than subtractive methods, produces more complex and lightweight part geometries, can be used for rapid prototyping, and manufactured parts can be ultimately printed in close proximity to point of use.

GAM and Croom are initially targeting the contract manufacturing of medical implants and components that would benefit from the enhanced performance offered by tantalum. Multiple papers cite advantages of tantalum-based implants compared to existing implant materials, including improved biocompatibility (reduced clotting), enhanced bone in-growth, tolerable to higher stress, and produces high surface friction promoting implant stability1,2,3,4,5. These benefits should lower the rate of surgery revisions, thus avoiding patient discomfort and unnecessary added surgery costs. Although use of tantalum in AM applications is relatively new, tantalum has been extensively and successfully used for many years in in-vivo surgical devices such as surgical staples, dental implants, and hip and knee implants. GAM and Croom believe that using AM technology to develop these devices will enable production of complex, porous, strong and lightweight structures.

As part of this collaboration, GAM will provide spherical tantalum powder, produced in its Boyertown, Pennsylvania, plant and derived from ethically and conflict-free-sourced tantalum raw material. The team at Croom will manufacture devices and components for customers using a recently acquired GE M2 printer 100% dedicated to the project and material. In a circular manufacturing cycle, tantalum raw material that cannot be reused in this AM process will be recycled back to GAM’s Pennsylvania facility. GAM’s raw material and tantalum powder expertise, Croom’s decades-long experience manufacturing, finishing and testing devices to medical device standards, and Croom’s proximity and relationship with many of the top device OEMs situated in Ireland, positions this collaboration for long-term success.

Andrew O’Donovan, CEO of Global Advanced Metals, added, “GAM is thrilled to work with such an experienced and trusted company as Croom Medical. In recent years, GAM has worked to enhance the production of ultra-pure spherical tantalum powder for 3D printing. GAM views the intrinsic purity and properties of tantalum as a wonderful fit for next generation implants and Croom is the company with the experience, capability and long-established customer relationships to bring this to market.”

Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners Acquires Majority Stake in Blue Ammonia Project in the Gulf Coast

COPENHAGEN, Denmark and NEW YORK, Feb. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), through its Energy Transition Fund (CI ETF I), has acquired a majority stake in a blue ammonia project, which will be developed alongside U.S.-based Sustainable Fuels Group (SFG). The financial terms of the transaction are not disclosed.

The project has entered into an agreement with International-Matex Tank Terminals (IMTT), a terminaling and logistics company, to provide ammonia storage and handling services. Located along the Gulf Coast, the project has commenced detailed engineering (FEED) and will initially consist of two phases, each with a production capacity of 4,000 tons per day (~3.0 million tons of annual production from both phases) once operational in 2027.

Blue ammonia is a low-carbon approach to ammonia production which combines traditional ammonia synthesis using natural gas with subsequent carbon capture and storage process. The project will use Topsoe’s industry leading SynCOR™ technology to produce blue ammonia with the lowest carbon intensity and is expected to reduce CO2e emissions by 90% (Well-To-Gate) compared to traditional ammonia production, thereby abating 5.0 million tons of CO2 per year.

The project will form part of the CI Energy Transition Fund, which closed in August 2022 at the hard cap of EUR 3.0 billion, and like all current CIP Funds, is aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) principally through the expected avoidance of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from its investments. The CI Energy Transition Fund focuses on clean hydrogen, and other next generation renewable technologies to facilitate the decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors such as agriculture and transportation.

Søren Toftgaard, Partner in Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, says of the acquisition: “We are developing a global portfolio of clean hydrogen and hydrogen-related products, such as clean ammonia. Blue ammonia is considered an important part of a successful energy transition, which can potentially help fill the ammonia shortage in Europe as well as being a steppingstone to the successful implementation of green projects, and we are excited to bring this project to the Gulf Coast region. Further, the agreement provides important diversification to our CI ETF I portfolio and can provide a platform for future hydrogen-related investments in the U.S.”

“IMTT is thrilled to support CIP’s development of this alternative fuels project,” said Chris Partridge, Executive Vice President of IMTT. “Additional clean energy sources, such as blue ammonia, are vital to advancing the global energy transition. We look forward to leveraging our terminaling experience and expertise to assist CIP in delivering this low-carbon fuel to the market.”
