(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Optical fiber network provider American Fiber Systems (www.americanfibersystems.com) and eData Center recently announced they have partnered to provide customers with an “environmentally conscious and 100 percent resilient data backup system,” according to the press release.
eData will combine its proprietary cooling system technology with AFS’ Atlanta backbone to offer network managers in the greater Metro Atlanta region cost-effective, green data backup solutions.
AFS provides a range of Atlanta Ethernet services, including metropolitan networking infrastructure, dark fiber and transport services to carriers and large and mid-sized enterprises in ten markets nationwide.
Meanwhile, the eData facility connects directly to AFS’ recently upgraded 18,720 miles of Atlanta fiber network.
“Although ‘going green’ is in fashion these days, we support it because it makes good business sense,” says Mike D’Angelo, senior vice president of American Fiber Systems. “Being environmentally conscious reduces energy costs and improves reliability. This is a sensible answer for many businesses looking for a high quality, straight-forward, easy-to-understand solution to manage, store and back-up their data. Period.”
The announcement follows AFS’ customer win in April, where it signed a deal with Mohawk Industries to connect the company’s Marietta, Georgia offices to its North Georgia data centers.
