With one-third of the expansion already sold, colocation and interconnection provider Telx has again increased its footprint on the West Coast. The company today
announced that it has expanded its colocation facility at 600 West 7th Street in Los Angeles by 40 percent.
Company officials said that, as a result, Telx now offers customers an even higher density colocation and interconnection facility in the key market of downtown Los Angeles.
In October 2009, Telx
announced that it expanded its footprint by 50 percent with new data center space – adjacent to Telx’s existing facility at 600 West 7th Street in L.A. – which offers
proximity to a wide variety of carriers, service providers, and enterprises that are critical for a number of specific verticals, including those in cloud, media and entertainment, gaming and financial services, company officials said.
The media and entertainment industry is undergoing a rapid evolution, driven by digital technologies, a new breed of competitors and a market shift from “mass-media” to “me-media,” according to Accenture (News - Alert) research.
With a larger facility, existing Telx customers can expand their services, while Telx also has additional capacity to add new customers.
The Telx Los Angeles facility is a “strategically located, high-density connectivity hub” that can meet the latency, security and services requirements of the most demanding cloud computing, media and entertainment, gaming and financial services environments, according to Telx CEO Eric Shepcaro (News - Alert).
“As demand for colocation space on the West Coast continues to increase, Telx remains committed to helping our customer base reduce the cost of network expansion and increase speed to market,” he said.
One company taking advantage of Telx’s Los Angeles facility is Tierzero, a leader in hosted communications based in Los Angeles.
“Telx’s additional space at 600 West 7th Street allows Tierzero to quickly and cost-effectively expand our services,” said John Carter, CEO of Tierzero, in a statement. “The facility enables us to locate our network equipment in close proximity to carriers and IP services – eliminating connectivity hops, reducing latency, as well as improving our Communications-as-a-Service delivery to customers.”
The additional space at 600 West 7th Street will include Telx’s industry-leading security, power and cooling systems to ensure optimal reliability and up-time for customers. The new space is available immediately, company officials said.
