In an effort to support the rising demand for its cloud services, Integrated Data Storage (IDS), a data center technology integrator and cloud services provider, has deployed XO 10G Wavelength solution.
In the past nine months, IDS has tripled its number of Cloud customers and released several new hosted offerings, according to Justin Mescher, chief technology officer of IDS.
“XO Communications (News - Alert) helps us achieve our uptime and connectivity goals. We could implement XO 10G Wavelength quickly and seamlessly into our network operations while maintaining exacting service levels,” Mescher said in a statement.
By implementing XO 10G Wavelength services, IDS will be able to connect its geographically redundant, U.S.-based data centers with high-performance, cost effective, dedicated bandwidth. XO’s service provides a high-speed network platform for IDS to move large volumes of network traffic between its data centers using a single, private and dedicated network.
Company officials said that to ensure maximum redundancy at all layers, IDS Cloud Services are hosted in four Tier 3 data centers. For organizations with bandwidth-intensive applications, such as IDC (News - Alert), XO Wavelength services offer a high-performance networking solution combining superior bandwidth with nationwide coverage, according to Don MacNeil, chief marketing officer of XO Communications.
“XO Wavelength services are easy-to-implement and provide customers with a fully managed solution for point-to-point connections between cities or across the country,” MacNeil said.
XO Wavelength services are available at speeds up to 100 Gbps and company officials said they’re backed by 24/7 performance monitoring and “aggressive” Service Level Agreements for optimum network performance.
Last month, XO Communications was named the leading business VoIP provider according to the recently published Infonetics (News - Alert) annual report.
The report consists of the analysis and ranking of the top providers in the hosted VoIP, unified communications (UC) and IP connectivity service markets, and those best positioned to succeed long term. Companies were evaluated based on important aspects like installed base of lines or seats, financial stability, market strategy, service capabilities, and support options.
