New York, New York – April 29, 2010 – Lexent Metro Connect, a leading
provider of dark fiber networks in the New York Metropolitan area, announces today that it has extended its footprint to CoreSite’s New York data center at 32 Avenue of the Americas. CoreSite is a national data center, colocation and peering provider with eleven data centers across the United States. This latest network deployment further extends Lexent’s access to key financial network hubs in and around the New York metro area.
“CoreSite’s New York data center is a high quality facility with the most modern space available in this market,” states Ray La Chance, President of Lexent Metro Connect. “As Lexent continues to build low latency dark fiber networks to connect the area’s major financial exchanges and data centers, it is critical for us to extend our network into the CoreSite data center at 32 Avenue of the Americas. Our network is now another option for CoreSite’s banking and trading customers to receive high quality, low latency connectivity to major financial access nodes throughout the New York metro market.”
32 Avenue of the Americas is one of the key carrier hotel facilities in New York City.

In addition, the facility provides access to CoreSite’s Any2 Northeast Internet exchange, a distributed exchange point that facilitates interconnection between the company’s Boston, New York, Northern Virginia and Washington D.C. data centers.
