NTT
Communications Corporation (NTT Com), the global data and IP
services arm of telecom leader NTT (NYSE: NTT), and RagingWire Data
Centers (RagingWire), the premier data center provider in the United
States and an NTT Communications group company, today announced that NTT
Com has expanded its Tier-1 Global IP Network into RagingWire’s data
center facilities in Ashburn, Virginia, and Sacramento, California.
This expansion will enable NTT Com to further scale its offerings to
Internet service providers (ISPs), content-oriented companies, and
hosting and CDN providers in these highly strategic markets and increase
its access to RagingWire’s growing community of Internet, enterprise,
and government customers. In turn, RagingWire customers will benefit
from a direct link to NTT Com’s Global IP Network and increased global
connectivity options available in these locations.
“The facilities we choose to connect into directly impact the growth of
our customer base,” said Brent Duncan, Vice President of Sales and
Marketing, NTT Com’s Global IP Network, NTT America. “We are excited to
extend our footprint with RagingWire in Northern Virginia and Northern
California in order to serve a broader community of Internet-centric
businesses and offer them the possibility to quickly expand their global
reach.”
RagingWire facilities in Ashburn,
Virginia and Sacramento,
California offer 100% availability, world-class customer service,
and the most secure, compliant data center environment possible for
customers. Both locations feature RagingWire’s patented 2N+2TM
data center architecture for exceptional critical infrastructure
redundancy, and are LEED Gold and EPA ENERGY STAR certified.
“As a carrier neutral data center company, RagingWire prides itself on
offering a robust portfolio of telecommunications options fully
integrated with our colocation solutions,” said Doug Adams, Senior Vice
President and Chief Revenue Officer at RagingWire. “We are thrilled that
NTT Communications has selected RagingWire as a point of presence (PoP)
for its Global IP Network, one of the world’s top-ranked global Tier-1
IP backbones.”
RagingWire’s award-winning, 150,000 square foot facility in Ashburn is
located in one of the world’s largest Internet traffic interconnection
points. The West Coast campus in Sacramento encompasses 500,000 square
feet of data center infrastructure in its CA1 and CA2 facilities and
offers protection from earthquakes as it is located on a separate
tectonic plate from the Bay Area and Silicon Valley while being driving
distance from those areas. In addition, RagingWire recently announced
that its new
180,000 square foot CA3 data center in Sacramento will be available
for customer installations by year end 2014.
NTT Com and RagingWire jointly
announced in February 2014 that NTT Com had acquired an 80% stake in
RagingWire to expand and enhance its global data center solutions.
