Markley Group has reinforced the connectivity hub at the Boston data center’s Cross Connect Room (CCR). The professionally supervised interconnection facility now offers augmented bandwidth to quite a few major network providers.

Markley Group had to strengthen its connectivity hub as an increasing number of private and public cloud installations had taken place at One Summer Street, along with the recent introduction of Markley Cloud Services. In the last month, providers like Lightower, Hibernia Atlantic, Century Link, Level 3 Communications (News - Alert) and XO Communications have added considerable amounts of bandwidth.

There is an increased demand for mobile connectivity and corresponding applications like mobile video. In order to make a distinction, network providers need to deliver further dependable and augmented speed broadband access services. Markley Group assists several innovative providers to deliver services at competitive prices. End-users can also acquire IP transit or voice services with assistance from Markley Group, either through lit circuits or via the provisioning of dark, unlit fiber.

Markley has a 920,000-square-foot facility, which serves a minimum of 75 different on-net network providers. This facility is one of the highest-density network zones in New England and also the perfect place for Boston’s major Internet exchange. Markley is currently extending the existing CCR and developing a redundant CCR in recently renovated space.

Customers have recognized the optimized performance that differentiates Markley’s offerings.
