March 27, 2001 -- Level 3 Communications, Inc. has opened new data centers offering Internet and communications services in Pittsburgh, Pa. and Princeton, N.J., the company said Monday.
Level 3 now operates 68 of its Gateway data centers in 65 markets; 54 markets in the U.S., nine in Europe and two in Asia.
"The Gateway facilities in these important markets provide an on-ramp to the Level 3 Network, which is unlike any communications backbone ever built," said Carlos Lopez-Abadia, senior vice president of Global Gateway Services for Level 3.
The new facilities serve as portals to the Level 3 Network and provide a secure environment in which customers can physically locate their equipment. The facilities also house Level 3's own equipment and offer customers interconnection with the public Internet and other long distance networks.
