Comcast Business (NASDAQ:CMCSA) now provides direct, dedicated links to bigbyte, a tier III-compliant data center in New Mexico, allowing Comcast Business to provide small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) and enterprise customers with more choices to connect to the cloud. Tenants of bigbyte are now able to select Comcast Business for Ethernet and other business services.
Founded in 2001, bigbyte maintains more than 30,000 square feet of data center and business continuity space with additional 20,000 square feet "built-to-suit" available for other projects. The privately held data and disaster recovery center provides customers operational reliability with security, affordable bandwidth and redundant facilities.
"As the first neutral colocation facility in the state, we seek to provide diversification and always-on network access for our customers to meet their technology and business needs in compliant spaces," said Nerissa Whittington, principal of bigbyte. "Now, with Comcast Business, our clients can get Ethernet services and much more. We're seeing clients transition away from their provider to Comcast Business, particularly to take advantage of the circuits that provide important price and bandwidth benefits to connect to the cloud."
Through Comcast's NNI (Network to Network Interface), bigbyte customers are able to get private MPLS/VPLS WAN services in New Mexico at gigabit-level speeds.
"Regardless of size or its industry, businesses are seeking flexibility to connect to the cloud rather than a one-size-fits-all service, and that's what bigbyte has with Comcast Business," said Julianne Phares, New Mexico external affairs director, Comcast Business. "Through dedicated, reliable, secure access with access to multi-gigabit performance and low latency, bigbyte clients can connect to the cloud that best fits their needs with the assurance that Comcast Business is there to support them as future needs develop."
Comcast Business' network connects to nearly 500 data centers as well as cloud exchanges for dynamic access to multiple cloud providers.
