Jan, 2003 : The Quilt Picks NTT/VERIO Network Services

📅 January 14, 2003 - Global IP solutions provider Verio (Verio.com ) announced on Tuesday that it has been selected to provide high-performance network services for The Quilt's (thequilt.net) Commodity Internet Services (CIS) project, sponsored by the University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development (UCAID).

The Quilt, says Verio, provides a forum for communication among regional network organizations, UCAID and other organizations dedicated to research and education in the US. The CIS aggregates the buying power of The Quilt participants to acquire the lowest-priced commodity Internet services.
"The Quilt participants serve over a hundred institutions, whose aggregated bandwidth requirements for commodity Internet service are expected to grow to more than 17 gigabits per second in the next year," said Gwendolyn Huntoon, executive director of The Quilt. "The high performance, NTT/VERIO advanced networking solutions designed for large organizations will provide the speed and capacity The Quilt's institutions require to move large amounts of data quickly and reliably, and bring the power of this technology to bear on their organizations' service delivery."
Before being selected as an authorized provider for the CIS project, Verio had to meet a set of specific parameters, including: national pricing for The Quilt participants; number and location of public and private peering points; availability of advanced services like Multicast and IPv6; and backbone and support services.
