New York Metro Area businesses benefit from the combined power of AboveNet’s private metro fiber network and Telx’s state-of-the-art colocation facilities
AboveNet, Inc. (NYSE:ABVT) has linked its network with the New York metropolitan area colocation facilities of Telx, a leading interconnection and colocation provider in key North American markets.
Supporting today’s explosive surge in bandwidth demand, AboveNet’s network opens up a new range of choices for companies that need ultra low latency connectivity for their mission-critical business and financial data applications. Now Telx’s New York area customers can leverage AboveNet’s high-speed links between Telx data centers and to hundreds of carrier and enterprise customers.
“Here in the world’s financial epicenter, companies including the leading capital markets firms have zero tolerance for network interruption, and they demand physical path diversity to ensure the highest reliability and lowest latency for their customers,” said Bill Kolman, Vice President of Sales for Telx. “AboveNet and Telx deliver this level of performance and offer customers the power of choice.”
“AboveNet has a proven track record of delivering highly scalable high bandwidth solutions to financial services, media and entertainment, and other enterprise companies,” said MaryBeth Nance, Executive Director of Business Development & Marketing at AboveNet. “Our customers can now extend into Telx’s colocation facilities in New Jersey, and source the best data center and fiber optic networking solutions to help them optimize key IT infrastructures.”
AboveNet’s fiber optic network connects Telx’s four primary New York metro area data centers at 111 8th Avenue, 60 Hudson Street in New York, 300 Boulevard East in Weehawken, N.J., and Telx’s newest facility at 100 Delawanna Avenue in Clifton, N.J., using diverse fiber routes with two separate Hudson River crossings.
AboveNet has also extended its dense metro optical network within the Telx suite at 100 Delawanna Avenue where it will establish a point of presence (PoP) for serving customers. This enables AboveNet’s customers to easily distribute applications or other critical infrastructure components to Telx’s Clifton, N.J. data center, and provides business continuity, disaster recovery and storage options for Telx’s New York-based customers.
