“Central Europe is an important growth area for Hurricane Electric’s global expansion and we’re delighted to provide cost-effective and high-speed connectivity options for Katowice,” said Mike Leber, President of Hurricane Electric. “This new PoP will help meet the business demands of enterprises in this high growth area.”
