DALLAS - (Business Wire) FiberLight, LLC®, a leading provider of optical transport services, announced Atos Origin has selected FiberLight for a new core data center optical ring. The 10 Gig network offers scalable and complete diversity to ensure maximum uptime between multiple locations in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. FiberLight was selected as the logical network design solution as the company offers 3,900 route miles of interconnected metro networks throughout Texas. The city of Dallas is part of FiberLight’s growing Texas network encompassing Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Corpus Christie, Waco, McAllen, and Laredo.
“Atos Origin needed ultra reliable bandwidth to ensure customer data and mission critical applications could be transported seamlessly between the company’s key sites,” said Ron Kormos, FiberLight’s EVP of Operations and Engineering. “With FiberLight’s LightSource network platform, we were able to guarantee the reliability Atos requires in support of their clients.”
Atos Origin chose to partner with FiberLight because of the Atlanta-based company’s reputation for delivering customized, protected network solutions utilizing 24/7 monitoring capability and redundant NOCs. FiberLight’s extensive metro footprint in Texas provides Atos Origin with access to additional fiber assets in its target metro markets while offering security and continuity to its diverse customer base.
