November 19, 2009 - "One of the things we are establishing with Phoenix NAP is the creation of a true network access point not only for the city and state, but for the greater southwestern United States region. By having AboveNet in our facility, clients are able to access the fiber ring around Phoenix, and the larger AboveNet network should they need to, without having to backhaul to another city," said Jordan Jacobs, director of operations for Phoenix NAP.
The AboveNet fiber ring and network cover more than 2 million fiber miles and provide access to on-net buildings within and among 15 major metro markets across the United States.
"We continue to offer our customers a choice of Ethernet, eXpressWave™ Long Haul, WDM and IP solutions and locations that can enhance and extend their high bandwidth communications," said Xenophon Giannis, Executive Director of Sales for Pacific Region at AboveNet. "To do this, we aggressively seek to provide datacenter connectivity like that provided by Phoenix NAP. This increases our existing network footprint while allowing us to extend our offerings outside our service area. We now have an established presence at Phoenix NAP that enables us to provide high-bandwidth connectivity solutions to customers. Our connectivity allows customers to connect to other Tier 1 Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and extend their reach to other major metros."
AboveNet is offering its entire portfolio of transport and transit services out of the datacenter. Phoenix NAP clients have a choice of carrier providers to supply the form of connectivity that they need.
"We understand everyone's needs are going to be different. The selection of services, and provider carriers, Phoenix NAP offers will enable our clients to get the network solution that best meets their requirements. AboveNet is certainly an integral part of that selection," said Jacobs.
