Lightpath and DataVerge expand the growing
ecosystem of carrier and network providers in the Brooklyn region
NEW
YORK, Jan. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- DataVerge,
owner and operator of the only carrier-neutral interconnection
facility in Brooklyn and a trusted
partner to carriers, network operators and enterprise IT in the NYC
region, has announced a partnership with Lightpath, the densest
end-to-end all-fiber network in the New
York Metro region. This strategic partnership supports the
expanding footprint for both companies in the booming Brooklyn region which has traditionally been
an underserved network infrastructure market.
With direct access to dark fiber, metro, and long haul transport
providers, DataVerge offers an unbeatable interconnection
advantage. Its carrier-neutral position makes DataVerge the ideal
ecosystem partner in Brooklyn -
NYC's most populous borough. Their flagship facility is the sole
meeting point for connectivity at Industry City — the largest
interconnected campus in the United
States.
"Lightpath is delighted to increase and enhance connectivity for
tenants, customers and carriers, as well as support in-building
connectivity services for the robust, mixed use space known as
Industry City," said Lightpath CEO Chris
Morley. "Not only is this vibrant hub ideally located just
outside of Manhattan, it is also a
model ecosystem."
Lightpath provides cross-connects to DataVerge's Meet-Me Rooms,
integrating and expanding both ecosystems. The Lightpath Network
consists of over 20,000 route miles of fiber and connects at over
75 data centers, providing connectivity to more than 13,500 service
locations throughout the country.
"We are excited to partner with Lightpath to expand our reach,
increase the number of service providers in our ecosystem, and
better serve our family of customers," said Ruben Magurdumov, COO and Cofounder of
DataVerge. "The more flexibility we have in connecting to fiber
networks and the more diversity we have in our provider ecosystem,
the stronger and more prosperous the digital economy of the
Brooklyn area becomes."
With over 50,000 square feet of colocation space, DataVerge
provides dedicated, private connection options to hundreds of
network, cloud and IT service providers. Expanding into Industry
City is only the latest in a number of initiatives by Lightpath to
broaden connectivity and provider options to businesses and
residents in the Tri-State area.
