Solution to deliver mission-critical
infrastructure to the Research and Education community
Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ZAYO) was selected by
Mid-Atlantic Crossroads (MAX) to provide data center colocation in
zColo’s Ashburn facility and fiber connectivity to support MAX’s
network services to its academic, research, government, scientific
and business communities. MAX is a center at the University of
Maryland (UMD) that operates a regional advanced
cyberinfrastructure platform.
Zayo’s colocation solution will provide a dedicated, private
suite that includes more than 30 cabinets in its Ashburn data
center for the client, which is optimizing and consolidating
workloads. Zayo expanded its Ashburn facility in 2018 and 2019,
which now has more than 75,000 square feet and 15MW of power
capacity expandable up to 40MW. The Tier 3 equivalent facility
offers extensive carrier neutral connectivity as well as access to
Zayo’s global fiber network.
“Zayo’s public sector customers in the Ashburn facility and the
National Capital Region are transforming their IT infrastructure
and moving to cloud adoption to achieve scalability, cost savings,
security and more agile services,” said Joel Daly, president of
Zayo’s zColo business segment. “Zayo’s multi-site data center
portfolio, ability to customize and scale our solutions and
capability to connect globally over our expansive network helped us
earn this business.”
The transaction is one of several with MAX, which provides
cyberinfrastructure to the national and global Research and
Education (R&E) community. The focus areas for MAX include
next-generation internet technologies, software defined networking
(SDN), hybrid cloud environments, high-performance computing, big
data driven domain science workflows and advanced
cyberinfrastructure systems. These projects are focused on
integrating high-performance network, compute, storage and cloud
services with the goal to develop advanced cyberinfrastructure
systems supporting innovative domain science applications.
“After an extensive search of data centers in the DMV area, MAX
found that zColo offered a complete solution for our customers,”
said Tripti Sinha, executive director of Mid-Atlantic Crossroads.
“We are confident that the Zayo team will provide a rock-solid
solution—bringing security, power and cooling, national diverse
colo and a global network all in one place. Additionally, their
Tranzact platform makes it easier to price and order Zayo services
which is a value-added feature.”
zColo’s 44 data centers have flexible space and power options to
meet a wide range of infrastructure needs. zColo’s facilities offer
the highest levels of physical security and compliance and provide
back-up systems for full redundancy. zColo data centers also
feature carrier-neutral connectivity and interconnections,
