HKT (SEHK: 6823) – London, UK, XX January 2025 – Console Connect, PCCW Global’s on-demand platform and automated network for intelligent data movement, and Zenlayer, the world’s first hyperconnected cloud, have today announced a strategic collaboration that extends the reach of their respective global ecosystems via bilateral APIs.
It combines Console Connect’s robust carrier-grade network with Zenlayer’s expertise in edge computing and low-latency networking, creating a one-stop connectivity solution for customers.
Console Connect will extend its reach into high-growth emerging markets such as Southeast Asia and South America, offering its users greater global connectivity. Zenlayer customers will access an expanded network of cloud and data center locations in key developed markets with enhanced flexibility and choice for hybrid and multi-cloud networking while maintaining high performance, reliability, and security for their critical workloads.

“Zenlayer shares our vision of facilitating flexible and fast data movement for businesses worldwide. We are delighted to extend the reach of our automated network and connected ecosystem while helping Zenlayer customers reach further across the globe using a network they can trust,” says Michael Glynn, SVP of Digital Automated Innovation at Console Connect.
