AboveNet Connects Equinix US Data Centers

Equinix, Inc., a provider of global data center services, and AboveNet, Inc., a provider of high bandwidth connectivity solutions, announced AboveNet has deployed operations to the Equinix New York-1 International Business Exchange data center.

The groups said that AboveNet now connects Equinix's IBX centers in the US. AboveNet also operates within nine of Equinix's 20 IBX centers in Europe. This enables AboveNet to exchange data among networks and to sell its network and infrastructure services to the aggregation of companies participating in Equinix's centers.

"We have enjoyed a long and successful relationship with Equinix, and this new deployment in New York marks a significant milestone in that collaboration," said AboveNet Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing John 'Joc' Jacquay. "Equinix's centers offer an opportunity to make our services available nationwide to a large audience of enterprises, content companies and networks already operating within Equinix's centers. As the demand for carrier Ethernet services continues to grow, we look forward to building out our Ethernet platform at Equinix."

"As Equinix has expanded operations in the US and globally, AboveNet has increased its commitment to leveraging the marketplace that exists in our global IBX data centers," said Jarrett Appleby, chief marketing officer for Equinix. "Our partnership with AboveNet offers a strong Tier 1 network and high bandwidth connectivity solution options for the community of IBX participants while offering AboveNet significant new revenue opportunities and a national infrastructure for Tier 1 peering and future carrier Ethernet needs."
