zColo Launches Metro Interconnect

zColo launches Metro Interconnect, a new product offering extending the reach of its data center customers in large metro areas.  The product launch is in conjunction with the close of AboveNet, an acquisition Zayo Group completed on July 2^nd, 2012.

Metro Interconnect enhances zColo’s Interconnection-focused strategy by using Dark Fiber cross-connects to extend a customer's reach from zColo sites to major in-market carrier hotels and data centers.  zColo’s Metro Interconnect extends access beyond the 1,000 cloud, financial, content, IP and carrier networks accessible within zColo buildings and delivers nearly ubiquitous in-market access to more than 90 Carrier Hotels and data centers across 10 Tier 1 US metro markets.

zColo’s Metro Interconnect offering extends the connectivity “ecosystem” beyond the facility to the major traffic exchange locations in a given market.  The initial Metro Interconnect launch includes 12 zColo Interconnect colocation facilities in following US metro markets: New York City/Northern New Jersey, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Seattle, and Los Angeles.
