Network cost effectively provides increased
capacity and reliability
Denver Public Schools (DPS) in partnership with Zayo Group
Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ZAYO) has completed implementation of a dark
fiber private network across its district. The high-capacity fiber
network spans more than 600 route miles of fiber, which included
more than 50 route miles of new build to reach 132 schools. The
dark fiber network provides DPS with increased capacity, improved
reliability and a more cost-effective solution.
The dark fiber network has increased the capacity for each DPS
school location by approximately 500%. The additional bandwidth
enables DPS to leverage digital resources in K-12 classrooms,
including electronic textbooks, online standardized testing,
streaming media, educational resources and cloud-based
applications. The increased capacity has also eliminated congestion
issues caused by the district’s largest bandwidth requirement and
key security initiative, video surveillance.
The solution architecture provides DPS with greater reliability.
The design includes multiple rings to each of the districts data
centers so that impact from fiber cuts and other network
interruptions are minimized. This ensures that the network remains
up 99.9% of the time.
By leasing the fiber from Zayo through a long-term agreement,
the solution is much more cost effective for DPS than purchasing
data services from third party providers. Schools are increasingly
leveraging long-term lease agreements for dark fiber as a
cost-effective solution.
“Denver Public Schools thanks our voters who approved the 2016
bond initiative that made this exciting network upgrade possible,”
said Dave Landy, CIO, Denver Public Schools.
“Zayo’s dark fiber is an optimal solution for organizations that
prefer to manage their own network and are looking to benefit from
lower total cost of ownership. By lighting and managing the network
on their own, customers benefit from greater capacity, control,
security and scalability,” said Jack Waters, president of Zayo
Networks and COO. “We are excited about the completion of this
milestone project in our home state of Colorado that is enabling an
important new dimension to learning for students in the
district.”
Zayo has made a significant investment in its Colorado network
since it was founded in Boulder in 2007. Today, Zayo’s Denver fiber
footprint consists of 1,750 route miles, which connects to more
than 25 data centers, and four zColo data centers.
