Time Warner Telecom Delivers Metro Ethernet
to Hosted Solutions of Raleigh [January 25,
2005]
RALEIGH,
N.C., Jan 25, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/
-- Time Warner Telecom (TWTC), a leading provider of
managed voice and data networking solutions for businesses
in North Carolina, today announced the successful installation
of multi-location Gigabit Ethernet Native LAN data services
at Hosted Solutions of Raleigh.
Hosted
Solutions provides Web hosting and disaster recovery
services throughout the Raleigh and Charlotte metro
areas, most notably to the Carolina Panthers football
and Carolina Hurricanes hockey professional teams. Hosted
Solutions cited economical network availability, capacity
and scalability as reasons for awarding the multi-year
contract to Time Warner Telecom.
The
Time Warner Telecom services have made Hosted Solutions
more competitive in their space. "We've won quite
a few deals because of the high-capacity circuits between
our facilities and by being able to do local disaster
recovery from one data center to another," said
Rich Lee, chief executive officer for Hosted Solutions.
"On top of that, we've been able to price our services
at a fraction of what national hosting companies can
provide."
Hosted
Solutions contracted Time Warner Telecom's Native LAN
service between its three facilities in Charlotte, Cary
and Raleigh. The GigE circuits are currently throttled
at 622 Mbps to leave plenty of room for growth. The
customer uses the links to traffic data among its three
data centers to support Web hosting and disaster recovery
service offerings.
"We've
been growing so quickly that we had to acquire a third
data center to support our operations," added Lee.
"We were pleased with the service performance Time
Warner Telecom has given us in the past so we contracted
with them to significantly expand our capacity. Between
hurricanes, ice storms and our "must-be-up 24 by
7" customers, we simply had to have a carrier with
their high level of reliability and redundancy."
"Many
companies like Hosted Solutions use our services to
exceed their communications service level agreement
requirements," said Dave Lally, vice president
and general manager for Time Warner Telecom in Raleigh.
"Our redundant, SONET-based services are ideal
for any business that must maintain operations in all
manner of harsh weather. And with our GigE-capacity
Native LAN offering, companies can create and implement
disaster recovery applications more economically than
ever before."
