(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Dark fiber networks provider Lexent Metro Connect (www.lexent.net) announced on Monday its plans to extend its dark fiber network into the Telx facility at 100 Delawanna Avenue in Clifton, New Jersey.
The move follows its recent completion of an ultra-low latency dark fiber route for Equinix, which connected two Equinix International Business Exchange data centers in Secaucus, New Jersey, and carrier hotel in Manhattan.
As Lexent’s sixth New Jersey colocation center, 100 Delawanna will expand upon the company’s growing latency sensitive fiber routes built between New York and the major colocation facilities hosting financial exchanges in Northern New Jersey.
As one of the largest and fastest-growing domestic interconnection and colocation data center operators, Telx offers Lexent direct and secure access to hundreds of other financial and service provider networks, also colocated in Clifton.
Telx customers can then use Lexent’s “fast, secure and flexible” dark fiber solutions to ensure low latency routing to other financial exchanges and trading houses in and around New York metro area and Northern New Jersey, says Lexent.
“Telx provides a managed, network-neutral, secure colocation environment and Lexent provides the flexible and shortest, dark fiber routes,” says William Kolman, executive vice president of sales for Telx. “As financial executives continue to increase their need for low latency, partnering with companies like Lexent offers our customers superior network performance that provides a competitive edge on the trading floor.”
In addition, Lexent also announces its plans to extend the New Jersey latency sensitive dark fiber network further south, with dark fiber builds into Carteret and Piscataway.
These locations host additional data centers with a high concentration of financial networks present.
The company’s continued network extension in New Jersey illustrates the rising demand from financial companies, trading houses and exchanges for dark fiber routes with shortest distances available to and from the City.
This is the fifth time Lexent has selected Telx as its interconnection and data center operator, in addition to the 9th floor of 60 Hudson Street, the 8th floor of 111 Eighth Avenue, the 15th floor of 111 Eighth Avenue and the 1st floor of 300 Boulevard East in Weehawken.
