Phoenix, Ariz. – May 4, 2016 – IO, a leading global provider of Data Center Services, today announced Hammer Fiber has selected the IO.New Jersey data center to provide network interconnectivity for its telecommunications services. Hammer Fiber chose IO because it provides a highly secure, energy efficient data center that offers flexibility to add capacity quickly to accommodate their expansion plans.
Hammer Fiber has connected a 450-mile fiber network throughout New Jersey. It will use IO.New Jersey’s Meet-Me-Room as its centralized network hub and to enable a direct, low latency fiber link between Manhattan and Philadelphia. The company will also use the hub to securely cross-connect with its carrier partners. Hammer Fiber is rolling out a next-generation broadband service that delivers to its New Jersey customers the triple play of high-speed internet service, VoIP telephone service and IPTV service.
“IO easily met our rigorous requirements for carrier-class data center connectivity and security that will help us maintain an always-on network,” said Michael Adamcik, Vice President of Network Services, Hammer Fiber. “Their data center stood out in its ability to maximize energy efficiency and to scale to support our fast-growth business plan.
