AboveNet, a provider of high bandwidth connectivity offerings, has won a new contract with IPR International, which offers comprehensive managed electronic data protection service to over 240 clients in 17 countries.
Under the contract, AboveNet is providing high bandwidth connectivity offerings linking IPR facilities in Philadelphia with IPR’s newly opened data centre in Wilmington, DE, and also to IPR’s Reading Business Continuity Centre located in Reading, PA, where AboveNet offerings already support large enterprises, including a major global banking and financial services institution.
In addition to utilising AboveNet for its metro ethernet high bandwidth connectivity, they also have chosen the company for its IP bandwidth services.
IPR plans future expansion of its network, using AboveNet offerings to serve clients in the Baltimore-Washington metroplex, to meet the demand for low latency connectivity by companies doing business throughout the mid-Atlantic region.
Doug Turtz, executive director of Northeast sales at AboveNet, said: In the financial services sector, as in growing numbers of businesses across a range of verticals, the demand for low latency, secure and physically diverse network connections is rising exponentially.
“As the industry’s leading provider of high bandwidth connectivity solutions, we are very pleased to work with IPR in serving the vital needs of this important clientele.
