[October 07, 2011] Zayo Extends Ethernet Reach Through Telx's Ethernet Exchange Tweet Oct 07, 2011 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Telx, an interconnection and data center provider in North American markets, announced that Zayo has joined the Telx Ethernet Exchange. According to a release, by joining the Telx Ethernet Exchange in Telx's downtown Atlanta data center, Zayo can continue to organically grow its 518 mile metro fiber network which connects over 250 enterprise locations and more than 50 carrier pops, LSOs and Data Center facilities throughout the greater Atlanta area. Zayo's interconnection with Telx will further extend network reach, opening new business opportunities with other wholesale buyers and sellers of Ethernet while ensuring cross network quality of service. Zayo's Ethernet service offering is designed as a carrier-grade transport alternative for traditional TDM, SONET, ATM and Frame Relay networks. Zayo offers protected and unprotected Ethernet with multiple interface options and speeds. Zayo's Ethernet service connects its customers' LANs within the same metropolitan area or across regions using an optical fiber transport. As a Telx Ethernet Exchange member, Zayo can leverage a community of carriers and enterprises in the Atlanta area to establish new revenue streams by expanding their network footprint. "Ethernet services come in many varieties and not all of them are equal. Transport and delivery can take several forms and vary in quality," said David Howson, president of Zayo Bandwidth. "End-to-end service must meet stringent Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Telx's Ethernet Exchange environment removes much of this complexity and enables a scalable platform for Ethernet interconnection across carrier networks." Zayo Group is a national provider of fiber-based bandwidth infrastructure and network-neutral colocation and interconnection services.
