: (excerpt) "Verizon data centers in Hong Kong are designed with diversity and high resiliency on all critical network and IT systems used by Verizon. The Hong Kong data centers also host network equipment that allow customers to take advantage of a Verizon network architecture called 'meshing' throughout the region. A mesh network provides additional network paths for rerouting communications traffic in the event of a cable break or other network disruption. This is important because submarine or terrestrial cables used by communications providers in the Asia Pacific region can be damaged during major earthquakes and typhoons, and communications traffic can be impacted. However, by using the Verizon mesh network, Verizon customer voice and data traffic is automatically rerouted on various available network paths, and all Verizon restorable customer traffic simply moves from one network route to another to be delivered with no service interruptions." Verizon Business has two data centers in Hong Kong.
