Atlantic Metro Communications (atlanticmetro.net) has signed a five-year lease to occupy 280 cabinets of datacenter space in New York raising its footprint to 12 points of presence and five fully interconnected datacenters across the US.
The firm said it would occupy space at The Hub at 32 Sixth (www.thehubat32sixth.com), a carrier-neutral colocation facility and interconnection carrier hotel.
Rated at 150 Watts per square foot, The Hub claims to be one of the highest power facilities in Manhatten. It also offers 15-foot ceilings, 24-hour security and high-profile tenants AT&T;, Cogent Communications, Time Warner Telecom and Worldcom.
The managed services provider is offering colocation, IP transit and dark fiber solutions.
AMC also recently announced it had achieved SAS 70 certification and entered into a 5-year agreement with SAS 70 (www.sas70.com) audit services to conduct bi-annual policies and procedures audits.
Stephen Klenert, AMC chief executive officer, said: "We worked hard to pass our SAS 70 audit and we're very proud of this accomplishment."
According to AMC, it differentiates its service from competitors by offering its 'White Glove Service' with each installation, providing customers fully managed installation support and testing of their equipment. Its new, New York server space is available for immediate occupancy.
