Case Study

Amanah Tech, a Toronto-based colocation data center, partnered with Zayo to power its latest data center expansion. With Zayo’s high-bandwidth connectivity solutions, Amanah’s clients now benefit from faster setup times, scalable services, and significant cost savings. This partnership strengthens Amanah’s robust network infrastructure, positioning them to grow operations and drive innovation.

Serving over 1,000 businesses across 40+ countries, Amanah Tech is vital in providing scalable colocation and connectivity solutions, primarily for small to medium-sized businesses. Strategically located at 151 Front Street, Canada’s leading connectivity hub, Amanah connects businesses with cutting-edge infrastructure to ensure seamless, reliable operations.

Tackling High Costs and Slow Setup Times

Amanah Tech turned to Zayo to connect their new data center, leveraging their decade-long relationship to address challenges and deliver a streamlined client experience.

Traditional data center environments can be a headache for businesses, with inefficiencies piling up at every step. From juggling separate data centers and network providers to dealing with steep connection fees and slow setup times, data center customers face challenges that add unnecessary costs and delays. On top of that, fragmented communication forces clients to bounce between multiple support teams, turning what could be a seamless process into a frustrating customer experience.

Amanah sought a reliable, streamlined connectivity solution designed to meet the needs of their small to medium-sized business clients. These businesses needed an affordable, straightforward option to remain competitive in today’s fast-paced digital environment.

Scalable, High-Bandwidth Connectivity 

Zayo supported Amanah Tech’s launch of its second data center, TOR2, at 151 Front Street. This facility features advanced, eco-friendly cooling systems, redundant power, and high-density fiber connectivity, reaffirming Amanah’s position as a leader in colocation services. 

Here’s what Zayo’s solutions delivered:

  • High-Bandwidth Connectivity: Zayo provided Amanah Tech with scalable, high-bandwidth Internet solutions. 
  • Ultra-reliable DIA: Zayo’s underlying DIA network enables Amanah Tech to provide Internet access to its customers without needing to develop a complex infrastructure themselves.
  • Tier-1 Network Infrastructure: Zayo’s Tier-1 network spans over 18 million fiber miles, connecting 51,000 buildings and 1,500 data centers globally.

The One-Stop Shop For Bandwidth and Space 

Zayo’s high-performance connectivity solutions have been instrumental in transforming Amanah Tech’s operations, delivering impactful results that streamline processes and enhance client experiences. Key results include:

  • Connection Fees Eliminated: Amanah Tech’s customers save on monthly cross-connection fees, significantly lowering operational costs.
  • Seamless Integration: Amanah and Zayo create an integrated one-stop shop experience for clients, centralizing the process for colocation and bandwidth solutions. As Nezar Freeny, CEO of Amanah Tech, explains, “The client doesn’t have to run around and look for different people to talk to. It centralizes the communication with the client and gives them one point of contact, a one-stop shop where all their needs, be it bandwidth or space, are met.” 
  • Faster Setup: Leveraging Zayo’s infrastructure allows Amanah to bypass traditional cross-connection delays. This reduced setup times from weeks to just one business day, enabling clients to get up and running in record time. 
  • Bandwidth Scalability: Amanah can seamlessly scale bandwidth to accommodate its growing client base, providing uninterrupted service even during peak demand. 
  • Reliable Global Coverage: Zayo’s low-latency network ensures dependable and fast connections across North America, supporting Canadian businesses with international clients. 
  • Sustainable Growth: Backed by Zayo, Amanah successfully expanded its operations with TOR2, creating a state-of-the-art facility that aligns with the region’s demand for high-density computing and eco-conscious operations. 

Through Zayo and Amanah’s partnership, Amanah’s customers benefit from affordable, reliable connectivity and a simplified customer experience. Nezar praised Zayo’s commitment to excellence and reliability, stating, “Technical support is amazing. If there are any issues, Zayo’s 24/7 support team is always available to resolve them quickly.
