zColo currently operates 116,465 square feet of data center colocation space in its current markets: New York, Newark, Nashville and Los Angeles. Through this expansion, zColo has added an additional 46,404 square feet of data center colocation space in Memphis, TN; Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus, OH; and Plymouth, MN.
The new markets, already fully operational, expand upon zColo’s existing capabilities:
- Access to Zayo Group’s dense fiber networks that connect to more than 4,000 locations including major carrier hotels, communication hub points and enterprise buildings. Additionally, Zayo’s finer network has the capability to extend to customer locations.
- Interconnection to 200+ international and domestic carriers across its N.Y. and N.J. colocation facilities.
- Dense interconnection assets accessing 30 suites in the 60 Hudson street facility in New York and 27 suites in the 111 8th avenue facility also in New York.
- Interconnection services including DS1, DS3, Ethernet and fiber/OCN connectivity within all facilities.
zColo is the exclusive manager and operator of the 60 Hudson St. “Meet-Me-Room” in New York and the company plans to offer similar carrier Meet-Me-Room infrastructure services at other facilities. Meet-Me-Rooms enable customers cost efficient access to all carriers in a building, as well as interconnection opportunities with colocation customers through a cross-connect room.
“Our operations and Network Control Center (NCC) teams have extensive experience in designing, building and ensuring mission critical connectivity in Meet-Me-Room environments,” continued Morley. “We have had great success with our current Meet-Me-Room environment and want to invest in building out similar infrastructure in our other facilities in order to give our customers the ultimate flexibility, carrier choice and the custom solutions they require.”
