AboveNet Announces LA Metro Ring
NET2EZ Expands LA Market With Metro Fiber Ring
NEW YORK, April 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AboveNet, Inc., a premier metro network access provider of custom fiber connectivity solutions for business, today announced the successful deployment of dedicated fiber facilities for NET2EZ in the Los Angeles metro area.
"The server collocation and managed hosting footprint in Los Angeles, CA just got a whole lot bigger," reported NET2EZ CEO Pervez Delawalla who recently expanded its data center operation into a Tier IV SAS 70 certified Digital Data Center in El Segundo, CA.
NET2EZ needed a solution to connect back to its existing 10 gig metro loop service linking the major carrier hotels in Downtown LA. Through its strategic relationship with AboveNet and its dark fiber service, NET2EZ has successfully extended its dual fiber metro ring into El Segundo, while doubling its capacity to 20 gigs. "To our clients, this means easy, abundant access to all the major providers and their current installations; simultaneously, we are putting a little distance between sites thereby aiding in business continuation planning or simply providing new alternatives to a saturated downtown infrastructure," said Delawalla.
"AboveNet's expanding metro presence in Los Angeles enables super broadband connectivity to major business locations," reports Bill LaPerch, CEO of AboveNet. "The fiber infrastructure is a key element in the success strategy of both enterprise and Internet based businesses. AboveNet's Tier 1 Internet position combined with metro fiber connectivity delivers applications solutions capable of meeting the most stringent corporate and service delivery needs."
