Multi-product solution includes dark fiber, wavelengths and colocation
BOULDER, Colo. – October 5, 2018 – A U.S.-based multinational bank has selected Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ZAYO) for an integrated infrastructure solution. The solution, which includes dark fiber, colocation and wavelengths, will support the bank’s initiative to upgrade its national infrastructure.
The colocation solution at a zColo data center in the western U.S. will serve as an interconnection hub for the customer. Dark fiber routes from the data center, over existing Zayo network, will connect to the bank’s core data centers in the area. In addition, a high-capacity wavelength solution will also be deployed, providing long-haul connectivity between nine markets across the U.S.
The trendlines for global banks and financial services companies reflect the move to fiber-based solutions for their bandwidth-intensive functions, including secure file sharing, large file transfers, business intelligence applications and data analysis. In this case, the bank is expanding its infrastructure, ensuring geographic diversity of its data centers and physical diversity of its network.
“Zayo’s unique ability to bring together all aspects of a North American infrastructure solution, including dark fiber, data centers and high-capacity, diverse wavelengths, was a deciding factor in this win,” said Randy Dunbar, president of Transport at Zayo. “The solution delivers all the baseline components providing the ability for the bank to continue to scale their network across a broad geography.”
The sale is an illustration of Zayo’s financial services vertical team deepening its relationships with existing customers in the sector.
