Zayo Chosen by SaaS Firm for Data Center Colocation

January 2, 2019

ZAYO recently announced that it has been chosen by a global Software as a Service (SaaS) company for the latter’s data center colocation to meet rising demand. The bandwidth infrastructure solutions provider did not disclose its customer’s name. Per the agreement, Zayo will provide expanded colocation space in a Midwestern data center while enabling the customer to secure additional space and power in 2019. Notably, the solution is expected to double the customer’s data center footprint. Zayo’s extensive network footprint, comprehensive product portfolio and ability to penetrate in different markets are laudable. The company has expanded its fiber networks in four European markets, including London, Paris, Dublin and Amsterdam to deliver fast, high-capacity fiber to key centers of technology and commerce. It also announced that Quantum Xchange has selected its services for a dark fiber solution to power the first Quantum Key Distribution network in the United States. The 530-mile route will extend from Boston to Washington D.C., leveraging Zayo’s existing network along the eastern corridor. The company’s ability to scale, which benefits from its high-quality data center footprint, helps customers to meet increasing demand while ensuring business growth. Its 51 zColo data centers across 30 markets aims to deliver the scale, security and reliability required by SaaS providers to ensure uptime of service. On the other hand, SaaS providers are leveraging Zayo’s global fiber network and interconnection capabilities to boost application and service delivery to clients. Such strategic collaborations augur well for Zayo’s future growth and ensure a steady revenue stream.
