New York, NY (Apr. 5, 2011) – Telx®, a leading interconnection and colocation provider in strategic North American markets, today announced that it has entered into a strategic alliance with CoreLink Data Centers, a national provider of state-of-the-art data center hosting facilities and services for the management of mission-critical business applications. The alliance augments both providers’ existing service footprints and allows colocation customers of Telx and CoreLink to seamlessly expand presence in key U.S. cities.
“Telx is actively looking to enhance our data center footprint around the world by teaming with best-of-breed partners like CoreLink,” said Eric Shepcaro, Chief Executive Officer of Telx. “By forging this strategic alliance, we can offer our customers the opportunity to enter new markets quickly and cost-effectively.”
