TELEHOUSE America, a provider of dedicated data centers, colocation facilities, international Internet exchanges, managed IT services and disaster recovery solutions, has stated that their 25 Broadway and seven Teleport data centers in Manhattan and Staten Island are now interconnected with AboveNet low-latency fiber optic network.  

 
Telehouse has three carrier neutral data centers across the U.S and offers data center suites, colocation facilities, international internet exchanges and managed IT services with an N+1 infrastructure and uninterruptable power supplies to protect client’s critical information and keep their business running, under any circumstance.
 
The fiber optic network from AboveNet will help Telehouse to transfer critical info via secure, ultra-low latency routes. AboveNet features its Agility Guarantee, ensuring ultra-low latency performance across its wavelength and Ethernet services, providing customized Service Level Agreements to meet any organization’s unique business requirements.
 
AboveNet has claimed that its solutions operate on an affordable and integrated all-optical infrastructure so users can truly eliminate constraints on information exchange instead of just moving bottlenecks to other downstream or upstream exchange points.
 
Officials with TELEHOUSE (News - Alert) America have stated that every millisecond counts for financial institutions executing millions of daily transactions and for delivery of sensitive Internet content by media or general enterprise organizations. AboveNet’s network expansion in TELEHOUSE America’s data centers offers their clients the ability to procure dedicated, high-performance, customized connectivity, critical for day-to-day operations. It will also act as an alternative datacenter option for clients who want to enhance or diversify facilities, service options and network connection points.
 
MaryBeth Nance, executive director of business development for AboveNet has commented that with AboveNet’s direct connectivity into the New York Stock Exchange, their ultra low-latency route is highly beneficial to the financial sector. Telehouse’s state-of the-art facilities provide a secure foundation for the finance sector’s communications. Clients can not only house their mission-critical infrastructure components within 25 Broadway or 7 Teleport, but also provide a link between these facilities through an ultra low-latency route for a truly resilient disaster recovery solution.
 
AboveNet’s expansion into TELEHOUSE’s facilities in the New York metro market is purported to offer today’s demanding financial institutions and trading companies a complete and reliable solution that combines high-performance interconnectivity options with Telehouse’s secure and power-protected data center facilities.
 
Recently AboveNet aided Continuum Data to start new data center in Lombard and picked JDSU’s (News - Alert) fiber inspection and testing solution.
