(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Dark fiber networks provider Lexent Metro Connect (www.lexent.net) announced on Thursday it has extended its footprint to CoreSite’s (www.coresite.com) New York data center at 32 Avenue of the Americas.
This latest network deployment further extends Lexent’s access to key financial network hubs in and around the New York metro area.
“CoreSite’s New York data center is a high quality facility with the most modern space available in this market,” says Ray La Chance, president of Lexent Metro Connect. “As Lexent continues to build low latency dark fiber networks to connect the area’s major financial exchanges and data centers, it is critical for us to extend our network into the CoreSite data center at 32 Avenue of the Americas. Our network is now another option for CoreSite’s banking and trading customers to receive high quality, low latency connectivity to major financial access nodes throughout the New York metro market.”
Located within the 32 Avenue of the Americas hotel facility in New York City, CoreSite’s data center was designed to provide both wholesale data center and cage-to-cage cabinet colocation space.
The data center provides access to CoreSite’s Any2 Northeast Internet exchange, a distributed exchange point that facilitates interconnection between the company’s Boston, New York, Northern Virginia and Washington, DC data centers.
Lexent says is the only dark fiber provider that “designs, constructs, operates, and maintains its dark fiber networks in-house,” allowing it to quickly and flexibly update its customers’ networks with custom designed solutions to meet network needs.
This dark fiber extension is a second interconnection point for Lexent within 32 Avenue of the Americas. The company now has over 100 PoPs throughout the New York and New Jersey metro areas, providing its global client base with options for wholesale connectivity as well as increased performance.
