Boulder, Colo. – April 7, 2015 – zColo, the colocation business of international Bandwidth Infrastructure services provider Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:ZAYO), today announced its Atlanta data center located at 1100 White Street SW is now OIX-2 certified.
The Open-IX Association is an Internet community dedicated to improving interconnect and Internet peering globally as well as increasing the reliability, resiliency, and competitiveness of massive-scale interconnection for all. The organization promotes a simplified neutral and distributed Internet exchange system through the implementation of Internet Exchange and data center consensus-based community standards. Open-IX certification is awarded to data centers that adhere to community-derived standards of operation and client service, which reduces the complexity that restricts interconnection in fragmented markets.
“Becoming Open-IX certified further enhances the value we provide to our customers by increasing connectivity options and creating a neutral environment for low cost, flexible, scalable peering between content providers, carriers, and enterprises,” said Stephanie Copeland, president of zColo at Zayo. “We look forward to continuing to provide our customers with the consistency and performance they demand, and an enhanced ecosystem for connectivity.”
“The Open-IX Association proudly grants OIX-2 certification to Zayo’s Atlanta data center facility, the 22nd Open-IX-certified U.S. data center and a testament to the growth and continued adoption of the initiative,” added David Temkin, Co-Founder of the Open-IX Association and Chairman of the Board.
