In an effort to expand its managed network solutions for large business and government networks, Core180 Inc., a network integrator, has chosen telx (News - Alert) Meet Me Room and Core Interconnection Facilities in New York and Atlanta.

 

Core180’s managed integrated solutions leverage the density of carriers available within the telx facilities by offering customers physical proximity to multiple, competing carrier networks in one location.

 

The combined telx facilities host more than 40 service providers from which to choose in a wholesale environment. As a result, Core180 clients are offered greater savings, choice and flexibility for “last mile” transport and access.

 

With the selection of telx as an interconnection provider, Core180’s unique business model is advanced. The company arranges transport facilities connecting clients’ premises to carrier-neutral interconnection facilities such as telx’s—also labeled as “carrier hotels” and “meet me rooms”—where the world’s largest telecommunications providers connect to one another’s networks.

 

By allowing direct connections to these national and global points of interconnection, Core180 provides large businesses with the ability to purchase services on a wholesale, a la carte basis from multiple best-in-class suppliers, rather than on a retail, bundled basis from a single carrier.

 

Through CoreConnect, Core180 provides customers with a complete managed solution. This proprietary network management platform is accessed through an easy-to-use Web based interface. An online-accessible tool, CoreConnect allows users to order, track and manage the physical-layer network resources within the phone closet, data center or interconnection facility. 

 

The combination of the telx solution and Core180’s business model return performance and value through proximity to diverse global network operators available within the telx Meet Me Room and Core Interconnection facilities.

 

Core180’s CEO, David Baule, chose the telx solution as he realized the benefit of providing a managed-service layer to enterprise and government telecom managers not familiar with the network dense, carrier-neutral option of telecom hotel facilities.

 

“The telx facilities and cross connection model work well for us,” Core180’s Baule said, in a Wednesday statement. “With a single deployment, we can easily provide our customers access to a world of networks and markets.”

 

“Core180 is an ideal solution provider for our carrier-neutral facilities,” said Eric Shepcaro, CEO of telx, in Wednesday’s statement. “Core180 has developed a model that opens the door for enterprises and government agencies to better leverage facilities like ours.  The Core180 platform complements the existing telx carrier business, and brings a new set of buyers to our Meet Me Room marketplace.”

 

Core180 has done well to partner with a company like telx to respond to the unique telecommunications needs of corporations around the world. While bundled services are often a nice option for the consumer base, corporations tend to have specific needs that must be met with customized solutions. Core180 has offered this ability, along with promising price points, thus allowing organizations to find the solutions that they need that will also fit their budgets.
