The ADVA FSP 3000 CloudConnect is empowering us to connect our customers' data with more efficiency, more agility, and much more speed," said Akio Sugeno, Telehouse America VP, internet engineering, operations and business development. "The new solution enables us to easily deliver multi-terabit capacity over diversely routed and protected fiber links. Its small footprint and high density are key features, along with its innate capacity to scale. Now we know we have a future-proof solution that will grow alongside the ambitions of our customers."

Telehouse has 47 branded data centers in 23 cities throughout Asia, Africa, North America. and EMEA. Telehouse expanded its NYIIX with connections to five new locations in 2015, enabling NYIIX customers to access the exchange through IX Reach's points-of-presence (PoPs), in addition to its metro network in New York (see "TELEHOUSE adds connections to New York International Internet Exchange").
