EdgeConneX has signed a deal with Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. to deploy fiber to the EdgeConneX national footprint, providing dark fiber, wavelength and IP services for customers. Through this deal, Zayo will build diverse entrances into six Edge Data Centers and provide diverse entrances to two additional facilities. Zayo's fiber-optic network will allow EdgeConneX customers to access dark fiber and Layer 2 connectivity through wavelengths, Ethernet and IP services at each Edge Data Center.

Zayo customers will be able to connect to a common carrier interconnect facility in each market. Customers of EdgeConneX require data center locations nearest to the consumer and the bandwidth capability to serve much of the Internet's content. This redundant, high-bandwidth solution provides a direct flow of traffic and faster transportation of bandwidth-intensive content.
