Network connectivity provider RCN Metro announced Monday that its network built exclusively for financial service companies has been extended into a Telx colocation data center in Clifton, N.J. The facility at 100 Delawanna Ave. is connected to Telx’s data center at 111 8th Ave. in New York City and other facilities.
“We're proud to welcome Telx's Clifton facility onto the industry's first, large-scale, low-latency network designed exclusively for the financial services community,” RCN Metro President Felipe Alvarez said in a statement. “RCN Metro enjoys a long-standing reputation for excellence at addressing the unique requirements of the financial services industry and we're excited to enhance our capabilities with direct connectivity to Telx colocation data centers.”
The Clifton data center is one of the locations Telx uses to operate its Financial Business Exchange and its customers will now be able to leverage connection to RCN’s Xtreme Network. The network ring features ROADM/DWDM-based core infrastructure and offers a capacity of 88 40-Gig channels at first, with options to expand to 100-Gig channels, according to an RCN statement.
RCN’s own data center at 165 Halsey St. in Newark, N.J., is connected to the network ring.
Telx FBX provides access to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, NYSE Euronext, Savvis, Toronto Stock Exchange and others. Besides New York and New Jersey, the company operates data centers in Georgia, North Carolina, Illinois, Texas, Florida, Arizona, Miami and California.
