Zayo Goes Colo

LOUISVILLE, Colo. -- Zayo Group, a regional provider of bandwidth and telecom solutions, today announced the creation of Zayo Colocation Services, an independent business unit focused on colocation and interconnection services. The new entity, also known as zColo, absorbs Zayo Group’s recently acquired colocation and interconnection business from FiberNet Telecom Group, Inc., including its extensive presence in the New York / New Jersey metro market.

With this launch, zColo becomes the exclusive operator of the 60 Hudson Street Meet-Me-Room, and offers colocation in 60 Hudson as well as in 111 8th Avenue in New York City, and 165 Halsey Street in New Jersey. This new business unit also provides extensive fiber and copper interconnects in and between these facilities, and maintains additional facilities in Chicago, Miami and Los Angeles. zColo expects to expand its offerings to new buildings and markets.

“Zayo Group’s focus is providing bandwidth infrastructure for carriers, Internet providers, media companies and bandwidth-intensive enterprises,” explained Dan Caruso, Co-Founder, President & CEO of Zayo Group. “The colocation and interconnects acquired from FiberNet play an essential role in the networks of many of Zayo’s strategic customers.”
