(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Colocation provider zColo (www.zcolo.com) announced on Tuesday that it is expanding into five strategic markets, doubling its number of colocation facilities.
Bandwidth and telecom services provider Zayo Group launched zColo in September 2009.
zColo currently operates 116,465 square feet of data center colocation space in New York, Newark, Nashville and Los Angeles.
The company has added 46,404 square feet in Memphis, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio, and Plymouth, Minnesota.
“zColo provides customers with seamless connectivity to an ecosystem of solutions including content providers, global telecommunications providers, wireless applications, and suppliers of cloud services,” Christopher Morley, president of zColo said in a statement. “Whether it’s local, national, or global connectivity our customers need, we ensure high quality, cost effective solutions. We are very much looking forward to offering customers in these new markets access to zColo’s secure and scalable colocation environment.”
The new facilities have access to Zayo Group’s dense fiber networks that connect to more than 4,000 locations and interconnect to more than 200 international and domestic carriers across its New York and New Jersey colocation facilities.
Interconnection services include DS1, DS3, Ethernet and fiber/OCN connectivity within all facilities.
zColo is the exclusive manager and operator of the 60 Hudson St. “Meet Me Room” in New York.
“Our operations and Network Control Center teams have extensive experience in designing, building and ensuring mission critical connectivity in Meet-Me-Room environments,” Morley said. “We have had great success with our current Meet-Me-Room environment and want to invest in building out similar infrastructure in our other facilities in order to give our customers the ultimate flexibility, carrier choice and the custom solutions they require.”
