zColo will serve as the exclusive colocation provider for Aframe in the United States, with space and power at 60 Hudson St in New York and 707 Wilshire Blvd in Los Angeles. This solution will give US customers increased access speeds to Aframe’s cloud storage and video production services.

 

“In order to bring our video storage and collaborative services to the US, we needed a highly reliable colocation provider to house our servers and run our applications,” states Tim Burton, Chief Technology Officer at Aframe. “zColo was able to meet our needs on both counts in our New York and Los Angeles datacenters.”

 

““By locating in our highly connected facilities, Aframe will have access to a multitude of carrier and cloud based networks via zColo's direct interconnection ecosystem in the metro NY and LA markets as well as extending connectivity across the US via Zayo's dense national fiber assets,” states Steve Finnerty, Vice President of Sales at zColo. “As post production has become digital and evolves to cloud-based solutions, we believe our highly connected colocation facilities offer a great solution for service providers like Aframe.””
