Enterprise Solutions, LLC (ColocationGuard), one of New York’s
leading colocation providers and operator of Brooklyn’s only data
center, recently announced that Pilot,
a leading fully featured network and internet service provider, has
launched a new Point of Presence (PoP) at the company’s flagship data
center:
CGNY1.
The expansion into ColocationGuard’s Brooklyn data center marks Pilot’s
13th PoP in the New York Metro Area, a significant part of
the self-healing, national backbone the company has built. The
deployment offers more businesses access to Pilot’s affordable and
reliable transit and network services, all with no monthly contracts.
“Partnering with ColocationGuard was the natural decision when
evaluating where to establish Pilot’s network in Brooklyn for the first
time as they echo our commitments to excellent customer service and
network availability,” said Joe Fasone, Pilot CEO.
ColocationGuard’s carrier-neutral data center contains more than 50,000
square feet of available space and possesses the features that today’s
enterprise customers have come to expect, including a high-density
server environment with a fully redundant power architecture. The SSAE16
Certified facility is outfitted with a multi-stage security system,
including integrated CCTV, biometrics, and a 24/7/365 on-site monitoring
staff. All power equipment is built with N+2 redundancy in case of
component failure and the building draws power from two independent
power grids, backed by three diesel generators with 12,000 gallons (1
full week) of reserve fuel.
