Regional data and cloud services provider CoSentry announced today that it has entered into a formal agreement with Cox Business in order to use Cox’s fiber to further provision its Secure Cloud Services network.
CoSentry’s service has already undergone testing and currently supports customers.
“We are experiencing high growth in our Secure Cloud Services offering, as well as our collocation business, and it is imperative that we deliver stable, high-speed network services to support this demand,” said Dan Cullen, vice president and general manager for CoSentry’s Central Region operations. “High-density computing, cloud federation, and evolving server and storage technologies require constant vigilance in network delivery. The team at Cox understands this and has been a solid partner through design and execution.
“Every client is facing this extraordinary evolution in platform efficiency and seeking solutions that make sense. This arrangement with Cox Business allows us to plan ahead and deliver significant Internet bandwidth on-demand.”
The first phase of the deal calls for the installation of infrastructure and electronics, including multiple fibers, and a 10 GB match node Internet service delivered over redundant protected access and egress facilities. With the new infrastructure, CoSentry can offer its clients a range of services, including offerings from Cox Business.
CoSentry said its network provides clients reliable connectivity, maximized peering and routing relationships, and 24-hour monitoring and reporting.
In addition to Omaha, CoSentry has facilities in Kansas City, Mo., Sioux Falls, S.D., and Papillion, Neb. Its four data centers are interconnected with high-capacity connections and share a common service platform.
