T5@Atlanta,
the Southeast's premiere multi-tenant data center, now provides its
customers direct access to the Level 3 network by way of an on-site
Point-of-Presence.
Atlanta,
GA, USA (March 25, 2015) -- T5
Data Centers™, a provider of Multi-Tenant Data
Centers with a portfolio of facilities across North America, today
announced global telecommunications company Level 3 Communications,
will provide a fiber point-of-presence (PoP) at the company's
"T5@Atlanta" data center. Current and future tenants will
have the option to lease direct network access from Level 3 for
greater reliability and flexibility.
T5@Atlanta
is a purpose-built, Tier III, server-ready data center that features
multiple independent data suites occupied by various tenants.
Enterprises can take advantage of stronger service level agreements
(SLAs), more available bandwidth and better service and support
through the new access to Level 3's highly secure fiber backbone.
"By
establishing a PoP at T5@Atlanta we can offer enterprise customers
around the country faster, more reliable access to their critical
data," said Brian Dolan, vice president and general manager of
Georgia for Level 3. "We recently expanded our network presence
in the technology corridor Alpharetta to provide the local to global
connection for the more than 600 companies working out of the area."
One
of seven sites across the United States, T5@Atlanta has more than
100,000 square feet under one roof, including 55,000 feet of raised
floor, with individual data halls, each separated by slab-to-deck,
fire-rated walls for autonomous operation. The data center also has
an installed critical IT power load of 6,000 kW, expandable to 9,000
kW and is fed by five separate substations; two of them on Georgia
Power's "Hi-Reli" system for mission-critical users. It's
ideally suited for companies that require secure, dedicated control
of their mission critical data operations, such as financial service
firms, insurance companies, and health care providers.
"Although
we remain a carrier-neutral colocation provider, we want to be able
to offer our tenants a choice in telecommunications providers,
including direct network access over high-speed fiber," said
Jason Chartrand, Executive Vice President of National Business
Development for T5 Data Centers. "This new agreement with Level
3 puts us in a stronger position to serve regional customers with
highly reliable colocation services."
Currently
Level 3 is the only network services provider to have a PoP facility
on-site.
