"We've experienced tremendous customer growth and expanded both our facility and power capacity over the last year," said Paul VanMeter, president and chief technology officer of Colo4Dallas. "Expanding our network presence was the next step. Linking our data center to the INFOMART using Ciena's platform allows us to cross connect to hundreds of global networks, carriers, and ISPs.
