Data Center and Interconnection Leader Doubles Footprint at Key New York City Financial Markets Location
New York, NY (October 12, 2010) – Telx, a leading interconnection and colocation provider in strategic North American markets, today announced that it has nearly doubled the footprint of its data center at the 111 8th Avenue facility in New York City, considered the premier Financial Markets location in the NY Metro area. The addition of 40,000 square feet of capacity for financial institutions, telecommunications service providers, cloud providers and Software as a Service (SaaS) providers allows Telx to expand colocation and interconnection services and establishes them as the dominant provider in this key location.
“The Telx 111 8th Avenue facility has become one of our key infrastructure growth locations in the New York metro area,” said Patrick Flannery, Director of Engineering for Sumo Capital, a Telx Financial Business Exchange customer. “Telx’s broad choice of network-neutral, third-party connectivity providers supports our high-performance trading infrastructure by keeping our direct network connections in New York City, enabling us to easily and effectively interact with new markets. Telx has built a high-value ecosystem for the financial services industry, and their expansion of the 111 8th Avenue facility will enable them to provide even more connectivity choice to their customers.”
This marks the second data center expansion at the 111 8th Avenue location in 2010, driven by Telx’s commitment to meeting the requirements of the financial services industry in need of proximity-based colocation services, as well as cloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS) providers in need of connectivity support for their high-availability applications. Telx is actively installing customers in the prior 2010 expansion which opened in September 2010.
