New York, New York – JUNE 10, 2009 – Atlantic Metro Communications, a recognized SAS 70 managed Internet service provider offering colocation, IP transit, nation-wide transport and metro area dark fiber solutions, announces that it has completed a custom dark fiber network solution for HTN Communications, a leading provider of transmission facilities and services to the sports and broadcast and cable marketplace into Yankee Stadium.

HTN required a solution that could be implemented quickly and that would provide necessary access to HTN’s National Fiber Optic Network for direct content hand-off from the newly-constructed Stadium to HTN’s end users. Atlantic Metro worked closely with its vendors and partners to ensure the custom dark fiber network would meet with HTN’s DTM (dynamic transfer mode) network requirements well within the given timeframe. As a result, HTN is currently using the high-availability dark fiber network to provide television, radio and cable transmission services of the Yankee games and other live events held at the stadium.

“HTN trusted us for a quick network implementation,” commented Stephen Klenert, CEO of Atlantic Metro. “We worked against an aggressive deadline to ensure that HTN could test and deploy the connection prior to opening day. Our team worked day and night to install the newly-constructed network, completed on March 17th, two weeks ahead of schedule, which more than satisfied our client’s requirements.”

In addition to providing the underlying dark fiber network, Atlantic Metro continues to provide HTN with first-level support, maintenance and management of the network, leveraging Atlantic Metro’s state-of-the-art Network Operations Center (NOC). Atlantic Metro is a full-service managed infrastructure provider that offers complete custom network solutions, including colocation services, Internet transit and metro Ethernet in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.

NEW YORK, NY March 26, 2009: Atlantic Metro Communications, a recognized SAS 70 managed Internet service provider offering colocation, IP transit, nation-wide transport and New York metro area dark fiber solutions, announces today the opening of their Points of Presence (POPs) within three (3) CRG West data centers across the US; 32 Avenue of the Americas in New York, 427 South LaSalle in Chicago, IL and at One Wilshire in Los Angeles, CA. This expansion, leveraging CRG West’s data centers, marks a strategic move for Atlantic Metro Communications; the company can now provide additional and enhanced Internet, transport and colocation services for their web hosting, enterprise, network and Internet customers.

Atlantic Metro Communications will also utilize CRG West’s Any2 Exchange points in Los Angeles and New York. The peering opportunities offered by Any2 provide Atlantic Metro with an efficient means of providing enhanced Internet connectivity services to their customers. Atlantic Metro customers will further benefit from quality Internet services with lower latency and 100% up-time SLA guarantees.

“This is a great opportunity for Atlantic Metro to continue to provide enhanced services to our customers,” states Stephen Klenert, CEO of Atlantic Metro Communications. “By finalizing our latest network POPs, our nationwide network now spans 335 on-net buildings; and with both strategic connections on the Any2 Exchange, Atlantic Metro now has enhanced global peering capabilities, giving our network more reach than it has ever had before.”

“We recognize Atlantic Metro’s ability to meet market demands by expanding within our data centers,” said Joseph Kiaer, CRG West’s Vice President in New York. “As one of the first participants on the Any2 exchange in New York, we hope Atlantic Metro will continue to choose CRG West data centers and colocation services for their ongoing expansions and customer requirements across the United States.”

Atlantic Metro’s services, including IP transit, Ethernet transport, dark fiber, colocation and managed services, are now available at CRG West data centers in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.

Our very own Stephen Klenert, CEO and James Cornman, CTO have been quoted in a TMCnet.com article entitled “Metro Ethernet Marches On”

Riding the (CWDM) Wave

Atlantic Metro Communications (news) operates advanced Internet Data Centers and networks throughout the New York Metropolitan area and Chicago. The company also provides managed ISP solutions, colocation, metro transport, IP bandwidth, managed hosting and voice solutions. They provide services to many ISPs, web hosting solution providers, enterprise financial networks, Web 2.0 startups, VoIP suppliers, and carriers. Currently, Atlantic Metro Communication’s global network includes multiple PoPs in Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, Toronto, Canada and London, UK.

James Cornman, CTO, says, “We offer CWDM (Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing) Layer 1 passive waves. It allows our provider and enterprise customers to put their own equipment on the wave and be guaranteed a secure channel — there’s no shared infrastructure, it’s not switched Ethernet, which is what many other carriers offer. We can provide services to carriers on a fully dedicated Layer 1 passive channel. No intermediary electronics are necessary. We provide the optics on either side, which we also manufacture. We can also provide lit Layer 2 Ethernet services via our fiber infrastructure, as well as ourWiMAX ( News - Alert) infrastructure, seamlessly between any type of medium. We can deliver a 20 Meg tail circuit via WiMAX or you can also bridge that into a building connected at 100 Mbps. Our whole infrastructure nationwide is pure Ethernet; there’s no SONET anywhere in it. Our topologies run the gamut from point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, full ring, and so forth. We offer the CWDM services in Manhattan and metro area.”

“We see our carrier business growing as people increasingly outsource and replace more expensive solutions with converged technology that we offer,” says Stephen Klenert ( News ), Atlantic Metro’s CEO. “We see SONET eventually being phased out. MPLS is becoming a bit more prevalent but that’s an independent phenomenon. As a whole, with the offerings we bring to the table, customers tend to hub a lot of connections off one physical port or in other cases multiple ports in different markets or buildings. Overall, Ethernet is a far better platform to grow, particularly considering the current state of the market, with people not wanting to spend as much capital to get the bandwidth they need.”

A common problem today’s IT Managers are being faced with is an effective means of managing their IT Infrastructure. Without any means of administering equipment remotely, or even from your favorite mobile device, IT Managers are forced to endure a lot of wasted time and efficiency interacting with either their internal field support team, or their data center technicians. In times of crisis or downtime, your customers or colleagues are forced to suffer while you communicate the actions necessary to restore service to whomever is on-site. This can result in a waste of time, both personal and company, but more so a waste of the precious uptime you strive so much to maintain.

Atlantic Metro has been a leader on the IT Infrastructure management front for some time with our very detailed and expansive ‘Device Manager’ section in our customer portal. This section has the capabilities to keep track of a majority of the critical details of your IT Infrastructure. This system allows you to track the geographic specifics of devices such as device name, data center address, suite, cage, rack, and rack unit. It can also track more device level details such as CPU, Memory, and Hard Drive Information/Quantity and statistics, bandwidth usage and managed power strip port assignments. In my opinion, the most beneficial side affect of this system is the ability to individually, and immediately, power on/off or reboot any device. While we’re not a big fan of blindly rebooting systems without investigation, sometimes its really the thing that needs to be done — especially while your colleagues are unavailable and you’re stuck at that sporting event with nothing more than your mobile device.

Problem solved. Just another way Atlantic Metro is carving our path in the saturated market and setting us apart from the crowd.

Introducing the Atlantic Metro’s latest innovation: MobileMY™

We’ve recently added a mobile version of this system which will allow Atlantic Metro customers access to a certain subset of the features. From this interface, you can determine the physical location of the devices bound to your Atlantic Metro account, and reboot any device. Future features include real-time bandwidth utilization graphs, real-time server CPU, Memory and Disk utilization statistics and graphs, real-time network monitoring status (PING/TCP/UDP/Custom Scripts). We’re working on it!

Currently tested on Blackberry Curve, Storm, Bold, Pearl and iPhone/iPod Touch. The system was designed to be compliant with all html browsers.

Current customers can access MobileMY™ by going to https://my.atlanticmetro.net/m on any internet enabled mobile device, the user name as password is the same as the one used to login to the main customer portal.

Who should attend: IT Infrastructure & Operations professionals

Description:

If you’ve consolidated as much IT infrastructure as you can and your data center is still running out of space and power, you may be thinking about building a new data center. Before you begin, ask yourself this question: If you needed more office space, would you build an office building from the ground up or would you look for a larger, more modern office building to lease? Most companies would likely lease. A new data center represents the same kind of choice, and increasingly it makes more sense to lease data center space. A colocated data center can house your equipment, your IT staff, and potentially a private suite if you require it. Building a modern data center isn’t easy, and a colocated data center will have state-of-the-art security, power, cooling, fire suppression, and network bandwidth. Colocation facilities can also act as disaster recovery sites, provide overflow capacity, and host applications that need more bandwidth or closer proximity to users.

Agenda:

* It’s too expensive to build the next-generation data center.
* Three steps to select the right colocation provider
* Recommendations
