Intellifiber Networks to provide QTS Richmond Data Center connectivity

Intellifiber Networks, a subsidiary of PAETEC Holding Corp. (NASDAQ GS: PAET), says it has won a multi-million dollar contract to provide managed network services to one of the largest data centers in North America. The Richmond, VA, site, is the newest and largest location owned and operated by Quality Technology Services (QTS).

The data center spans 1.3 million square feet, including up to 550,000 square feet of raised floor space and 150 MW of power.

The QTS fiber build plan provides two distinct and diverse paths out of Richmond, creating a fully protected service delivering diverse routes to Culpeper and Northern Virginia. The service was specifically designed to meet the needs of Federal agencies and large commercial enterprises that often have to meet stringent requirements for business continuity and disaster recovery.

The fiber build extends Intellifiber’s low-latency routes between Washington, DC, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Chicago.

"We chose Intellifiber based on their track record of building custom, complex network infrastructures for the Fortune 500 and government agencies as well as their ability to deliver on time and on budget,” said Brian Johnston, chief operating officer, QTS. “The connectivity the Intellifiber solution is providing ensures customers in our Richmond data center can effectively and efficiently access any and all networks needed to support their data center deployments, applications and users.”
