CyrusOne Teams with EarthLink for Expanded Coverage in Key Texas Markets
Global colocation solutions provider CyrusOne (NASDAQ: CONE) is pleased to announce it is working with EarthLink (EarthLink Holdings Corp. NASDAQ: ELNK), a leading network services provider dedicated to delivering great
customer experiences, to provide connectivity into and between key CyrusOne data centers in Texas. EarthLink will initially provide
100 Gigabit connectivity between data centers in Dallas, Austin and Houston, with plans to provide additional connectivity to more
data centers in the future. The new relationship will provide CyrusOne with additional flexibility, scale and network resiliency to
match the growing needs of its customers in this region.
“We are excited to work with CyrusOne to provide direct access between key data center locations via our unique long-haul fiber
routes,” said David Zimmer, EarthLink’s SVP Carrier Services. “By understanding their needs, we are able to provide a customized
solution, including diverse routing and large scale bandwidth options. This helps CyrusOne maintain some of the most secure,
scalable, and highly flexible data center infrastructure in the industry.”
Josh Snowhorn, VP and GM of Interconnection at CyrusOne, echoed the enthusiasm for the upcoming relationship.
“As a provider of mission-critical enterprise data center services for Fortune 1000 organizations, we view the importance of our
customers and infrastructure across this part of Texas’ DASH markets through a similar lens as EarthLink,” he said. “We’re proud to
work closely with them on this project and look forward to building on our mutual success in years to come.”
In October, EarthLink will join CyrusOne at the NANOG event in Dallas, TX to discuss the benefits of the relationship. The planned network enhancements will be
operational in Q4 2016. For more information, visit CyrusOne.com or EarthLink.com/Carrier.
