Tier-1 provider NTT America has enabled GoGrid to continually meet customer demands for increased bandwidth and capacity via NTT (News - Alert) Communications Tier-1 Global IP Network.
GoGrid offers complete cloud infrastructure service solution that enables its customers to easily deploy robust, customized cloud infrastructures. It enables users all across the world to create and manage complex cloud and hybrid environments utilizing a range of appliances including cloud servers, on-demand dedicated servers, F5 hardware-based load balancers and cloud storage.
When GoGrid’s international customer base began to grow, the company decided to leverage NTT Com’s Tier-1 IP backbone service in order to support increased bandwidth demands across the board.
For this project, NTT Com provides private peering and seamless service from a single global ASN (ASN2914) over NTT Communications (News - Alert) Global IP Network. As a result it directly connects telecoms, ISPs, content providers, CDNs and enterprises at the highest performance levels available.
“Over the last year, GoGrid’s international customer base has grown substantially and NTT America (News - Alert) has enabled our global cloud platform to increase broadband capabilities and in turn provide new growth opportunities,” said Bobby Brown, vice president of operations and support for GoGrid. “Overall, NTT Communications Global IP Network, with one of the best international footprints in the industry, was by far the best choice for us to grow with. The network provides faster routes to international markets – specifically Asia – as well as excellent customer service and unrivaled uptime.”
“NTT Com operates one of the largest transpacific networks available on the market today, and our capacity is always growing. In fact, we surpassed 400 Gbps in Q4 2010 – an industry high,” said Shuichi Ikeda, vice president, sales and business development for NTT America’s Global IP Network business unit. “Because of this, our customers are able to provide better services and a true competitive advantage to their customers. We look forward to working with GoGrid into the future to continue to help them meet customer demand.”
