CenturyLink has extended its fiber network into metro Jacksonville, Fla., connecting to two independent, third-party data centers to connect business customer locations in the Jacksonville metro area with data and cloud-based services.
Customers located in the Jacksonville data centers can now connect to primary or backup Internet service or long-haul data products using CenturyLink’s fiber optic network.
CenturyLink’s data solutions portfolio, available via its channel partners, includes the CenturyLink IQ Internet Port for scalable access speeds; CenturyLink IQ Networking Private Port, a private IP-based VPN service that combines voice and data applications onto a single network; and Optical Wavelength Service for fully managed, private, point-to-point service using dense wave division multiplexing (DWDM) technology.
“CenturyLink’s data networking products, combined with reliable connectivity to our nationwide and international network and secure access into data centers, will help businesses in Jacksonville develop and launch cloud-based offerings needed in today’s fast-paced business environment,” said Richard Twilley, CenturyLink vice president of sales. “By helping businesses tap into the power of managed hosting and cloud computing, CenturyLink frees them to focus on what matters most.”
