AboveNet / ancotel partnership enhances connectivity options to Europe's global networks
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Munich, April 26th 2012 -- AboveNet, Inc. (NYSE: ABVT) AboveNet communications,
a leading provider of high bandwidth connectivity, has chosen ancotel's 'virtual
meet me room' (vmmr) in Frankfurt to extend the availability of its premium
Ethernet services. AboveNet's high performance network delivers up to 40Gig
with ancotel's vmmr Ethernet platform. These high end services are now
available, on demand, to a marketplace of 430 providers including service
providers, broadband operators, cloud computing players and more with reach to
over 63 nations.
"Carrier Ethernet is fast changing the game," says Brett Johnson, vice
president, Business Development for AboveNet Europe. "We began in the early 90s
providing fibre optic infrastructure for carriers, but as enterprises and
government departments increasingly adopt Ethernet the potential market for our
level of service has hugely expanded. Ancotel's customers will gain a
competitive advantage from this partnership, and we will benefit from their
customers' significant global coverage."
AboveNet is already firmly established in the U.S. as a provider of high
bandwidth, high availability Ethernet services for the most critical
applications - such as media companies with the need for fast transfer of vast
video files; financial services where latency, measured in milliseconds, can
break a deal; and governments demanding the highest levels of security. As a
private network, without the added complexity of supporting consumer services,
AboveNet has optimized its network topology to focus on low latency, high-end
business and government services.
"Bandwidth, reliability, latency and other critical factors must be optimal for
applications such as private cloud, business continuity and disaster recovery,"
explains Frank Orlowski, vice president, ancotel. "AboveNet has built its
reputation as a high performance provider to the most demanding markets. Access
via our Frankfurt hub means that world class services, including global and
local networks, cloud computing platforms, Internet services and more can now be
interconnected in minutes by our engineers, without the planning and cable
installation delays. It's a prestigious addition to our service provider
customer offerings, and a great opportunity for their clients to build reliable,
high-bandwidth enterprise networks that guarantee optimal performance."
"We are pleased to be working with a dynamic partner like ancotel to assist our
seamless connectivity thrust into these growing markets," Johnson added.
