Customer to add dark fiber, wavelength upgrades to expand capacity, diversity
BOULDER, Colo. – July 27, 2018 – Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ZAYO) has expanded its relationship with a global cloud provider, with major sales across multiple products in the second calendar quarter. In order to bolster both capacity and network diversity, the provider is expanding its long haul dark fiber network and upgrading optical wavelengths capacity across the U.S.
The dark fiber solutions include leasing of multiple long haul dark fiber routes, including fully redundant paths to meet growing diversity requirements. The customer also selected Zayo to upgrade existing wavelength routes from 10G to 100G in order to significantly increase capacity. Zayo will also invest in additional metro network to connect to the provider’s data centers. In aggregate, the second calendar quarter commitments represent Zayo’s largest sales quarter with the long-standing customer.
As cloud adoption has grown, providers require high-capacity diversity at minimum and are moving to triversity or quadversity to ensure fully reliable redundancy. Providers are also significantly increasing network capacity between data centers.
“Earning this business is another vote of confidence from an important customer,” said Jack Waters, CTO and President of Fiber Solutions. “Over the years, we have demonstrated our ability to meet stringent requirements and timelines. As this provider grows and continues to expand and bullet proof its infrastructure, we are now in a position to be a trusted partner to them.”
