Sept. 27, 2000 -- Level 3 Communications, Inc. today announced plans to connect its Internet protocol (IP) network to approximately 10 COLO.COM colocation facilities in the United States by year's end.
The cross-marketing initiative with COLO.COM, a provider of carrier neutral colocation services, enables Level 3 to continue to expand availability of its low cost bandwidth services beyond the more than 40 data centers the company currently operates worldwide.
"This relationship allows us to further increase our business in many of the country's most active Internet markets,'' said Carlos Lopez-Abadia, vice president of Global Gateway Services for Level 3. "Working with COLO.COM significantly expands the availability of our Internet and communication services beyond our own data centers, giving Level 3 a key marketing channel that will drive more traffic onto our metropolitan and intercity networks.''
Level 3 already has begun to offer its Internet and communication services in a COLO.COM colocation facility in Dallas.
Headquartered in Brisbane, Calif., COLO.COM builds and maintains carrier-neutral colocation facilities for the deployment of distributed networks and content-rich, interactive applications and services close to end users.
