By partnering with Telehouse, PacketFabric adds to its existing U.S. footprint and expands Over-the-Top (OTT) service offerings.
“We are very excited to increase the number of locations where Telehouse can offer services to their customers while allowing our customers to access Telehouse customers and services,” remarks William Charnock, CEO, PacketFabric. “This partnership is a natural fit, expanding the ecosystem for both companies across our carrier-grade SDN-based network.”

The company has two data centers in New York, including 85 Tenth Avenue in the Chelsea district of Manhattan and 7 Teleport Drive in Staten Island, New York, as well as one data center in California located in downtown Los Angeles at 626 Wilshire Blvd. The PacketFabric deployment will first be made available in Telehouse’s 7 Teleport Drive facility in Staten Island, as of August 1, 2017, with additional US locations following to follow by the end of the year.
