Solution leverages dense metro fiber in Chicago
BOULDER, Colo. –
A global webscale cloud provider has selected Zayo Group Holdings, Inc.
(NYSE: ZAYO) for metro dark fiber in Chicago. The project will connect
six data center locations with 20 diverse segments totaling 280 strands
across all segments, with up to 26 strands per segment. The solution is
built on Zayo’s dense metro network in Chicago, with more than 90
percent of the solution leveraging in-place network.
Demand for cloud services continues to grow, with experts predicting
that organizations will continue to shift their IT workloads and
infrastructure to off-premise data centers. Approximately 60 percent of
that infrastructure will operate in the cloud, according to a recent IDG
Cloud Computing Survey. To make this distributed architecture work,
cloud providers and customers both rely on high-bandwidth connectivity
to transport workloads rapidly, reliably and securely.
“Zayo is well positioned to meet the needs of global cloud providers for
connectivity, both within their enterprise and to business customers,”
said Joe Stockhausen, vice president, Dark Fiber Solutions, Central
Region at Zayo. “Our fiber density, network diversity and ability to
meet aggressive delivery requirements were differentiators that won us
this deal.”
