May, 2003 : HostTech Signs Fiber Optic Deal With Fibertech
📅 - HostTech Communications (hosttech.com), a provider of colocation and managed solutions, announced Monday that it has signed a 10-year fiber optic network agreement with Fibertech Networks (fibertech.com), an operator of dark fiber optic networks based in Rochester, New York. Under the agreement, HostTech will utilize Fibertech's downtown fiber ring to connect its two Providence-based data centers.
According to Michael Harrison, president and CIO of HostTech, the fiber ring will enable the company to dramatically increase network capacity between its facilities and offer reliable broadband connectivity and colocation services to the Providence region.
"This agreement with Fibertech positions us to more efficiently serve Providence businesses with a competitive option for their interconnectivity requirements, as well as ensure our ability to accommodate the future growth for secure data storage and network transmissions needs in the area," said Harrison. "Fibertech provided us with flexibility, physical reach and virtually unlimited bandwidth capabilities, making them a compelling option over legacy local loop providers."
Fibertech recently completed a 100-mile fiber optic network in Providence that connects a number of suburban communities to the downtown business district.
"As businesses seek to leverage the true power of the Internet, HostTech delivers the security and reliability necessary for superior colocation and managed solutions," said Mike Hurley, vice president and sales and marketing of Fibertech Networks. "Fibertech is committed to offer Providence businesses an opportunity to gain control over their growing bandwidth needs, both financially and operationally."
