By strategically placing itself in Ashburn, VA and New York, NY, Sunrise Communications was able to obtain a considerable amount of savings. Due to the evolving demands of its consumers, Sunrise Communications also maintained a set of ever-changing requirements. The company needed to find a provider who could grow with it and fulfill all of its unique requirements.
Solution: After taking into account many diverse data center options throughout the New York metro area, Sunrise Communications found what it was looking for in TELEHOUSE America. Sunrise made its decision to select TELEHOUSE based on unbeatable prices, the lowest amount of round trip delays, and the availability of the TELEHOUSE staff. The TELEHOUSE team provided Sunrise with a unique opportunity. It could utilize Global Interlink, and take advantage of the many benefits of using TELEHOUSE’s New York International Internet Exchange (NYIIX) public peering platform, New York’s longest-running and largest public Internet exchange point.
Sunrise Communications formed a strong bond with the TELEHOUSE America team. TELEHOUSE ensured there were no limits when it came to expanding Sunrise business, and they made it possible for the company to effortlessly gain connectivity across Switzerland. The debut of the IX Anywhere service, offering up to 1Gbps, global Ethernet transport solutions to the world largest international Internet exchange Points (IXP), was an immense help to Sunrise when continuing with their legacy of providing great service.
