and Birmingham and Huntsville in Alabama . Not to mention many cities throughout Florida . The southeast is a fast-growing environment and there are great economic incentives for businesses to move here . You don ' t have these harsh cold winters either , so it ' s ideal for infrastructure ,” said Uphues .
Uphues is proud of the services DC BLOX provides , as they understand that businesses are facing increasing challenges that have a profound impact on their ability to compete and grow in their markets .
Infrastructure is considered vital to the way businesses operate and deliver services and must connect customers to infrastructure in their markets and across the globe . With the pandemic accelerating digital transformation – mass migrations to the cloud , increased mobility and big data – increased agility is required .
With the urgent need for new physical and network infrastructure , DC BLOX works with businesses as well as with state and local governments to build that infrastructure , and to develop the workforce and culture to grow their tech economies .
Myrtle Beach Cable Landing Station – a hurricane-proof gateway to the world In a hyperscale landscape dominated by the major cloud companies in terms of internet transit and capacity , the industry has seen a shift from the telco internet – birthed from the likes of AT & T and Verizon – to the next generation of cloud services . As these cloud services needed to be distributed further outside of core markets , the cloud internet emerged .
One of the ways the cloud internet expands is internationally through subsea connections . DC BLOX were able to win the Myrtle Beach project with a large hyperscaler , one of a number of initiatives that DC BLOX are involved in alongside hyperscalers .
“ Of all the cable landing stations on the eastern seaboard of the United States , Myrtle Beach was directly halfway between New York and Miami , and it ' s a centralised place that had many core benefits : there ' s not a lot of barrier islands to go around ; the shelf of the subsea floor is a little shallower in areas before it drops off into deep water ; it is close to the burgeoning data centre and communications hub of the southeast US , and , aside from hurricane-proofing the building – which is common in Miami – it has a great climate ”.
