Telia Carrier today announced
that it has established a new point of presence (PoP) with
CoreSite (NYSE:COR), with new deployments at CoreSite's SV1
and SV4 data centers in Silicon Valley. The expanded relationship

globe.

Telia Carrier chose to expand
with CoreSite in the important Silicon Valley market based on
CoreSite's flexibility, scalability, and local customer base of
more than 200 customers, including more than 125 network, cloud and
IT service providers. Telia Carrier
recently established a low-latency route between the Bay Area and
Los Angeles with high-capacity
100G transmission capability, providing market-leading latency and
redundancy between Silicon Valley and the Pacific cable landing
points in Los Angeles. This
enhanced high-speed connectivity and the presence of diverse fiber
routes will benefit CoreSite's robust and rapidly growing
communities of interest in the Bay Area.
CoreSite's presence in the Bay Area and nationally continues to
grow with construction of its seventh multi-tenant data center
(SV7) in the Silicon Valley market. CoreSite designed SV7 to offer
a scalable, high-performance, enterprise-class colocation and
interconnection solution with close proximity to the heart of the
high-tech Silicon Valley market. SV7 will be the largest among
CoreSite's five-building, 619,000 square-foot Santa Clara Campus,
emerging as one of the leading hubs of interconnection and cloud
services on the West Coast and a key component of CoreSite's
780,000 square-foot Bay Area portfolio.
"A vital component of our strategy is to partner with
best-in-class carriers to ensure that our customers have access to
diverse, high-quality carrier services to support their
mission-critical IT needs," said Ben
Green, VP of Sales, Network & Mobility at CoreSite.
"Continuing our successful, long-standing relationship with
Telia Carrier allows us to ensure
our national platform of network-dense, cloud-enabled data
centers is connected at the highest speeds
possible."
Now active with CoreSite in Silicon Valley, Chicago, Denver, Los
Angeles and Northern
Virginia/ Washington DC,
Telia Carrier's top-ranked backbone
is available in each market with the ability to deliver 100G waves
in approximately 4 weeks.
"With significant growth in the past few years, CoreSite's
world-class data centers have provided us with a key opportunity to
increase our presence in facilities across the US,"
said Art Kazmierczak,
Director of Business Development, Americas at Telia Carrier
Inc. "We have witnessed significant demand for our
Internet backbone and IP services across CoreSite's national
platform and are pleased to continue working together to provide
superior services for our customers."
According to Dyn Research's global backbone rankings, AS1299,
Telia Carrier's global IP backbone
is currently ranked top-two. Telia
Carrier's rapid growth and ascension through the rankings
was recently highlighted in Dyn's 'Baker's Dozen, 2015 edition'
report. The company enables worldwide connectivity by connecting
more than 200 Points of Presence (PoPs) across Europe, North
America, Asia, and the
Middle East including over 70 PoPs
in North America alone.
