Stream Data Centers and Crown Castle Bring New Fiber Into The Woodlands
Facilitating enterprise edge and cloud computing strategies in the Houston area
HOUSTON — Stream Data Centers announced Crown Castle is bringing its fiber network into Stream’s Houston I data center in The Woodlands, a thriving business hub 28 miles north of Houston’s central business district. Adding Crown Castle will provide Stream customers with greater performance for the use of data-intensive and latency-dependent IoT, edge, cloud, and 5G applications.
“Houston is a top 10 city from a U.S. population and GDP perspective, but for network, it has generally been characterized as a Tier-II-type market with limited options for fiber providers and route diversity,” said Chad Rodriguez, vice president of network and cloud at Stream. “Adding Crown Castle to our carrier mix increases connectivity and performance dramatically for our customers. The fiber Crown Castle is installing is not only new but also runs along a completely diverse route, giving Stream’s clients a redundant, high-performing option to support IoT, 5G, edge, and other latency-sensitive applications. Innovation relies on new fiber, and we are proud to partner with such a growth-minded market leader.”
