CoreSite, a leading hybrid IT solutions provider and subsidiary of American Tower Corporation, has announced an alliance with Astound Business Solutions, a nationwide provider of high-capacity and secure connectivity for business customers. Effective immediately, Astound is deploying its network into CoreSite’s hybrid IT infrastructure in multiple, purpose-built data center campuses in strategic markets including Boston, Chicago, Washington D.C., Los Angeles and Silicon Valley.
This integration with CoreSite enables Astound’s new and existing business customers to have direct access to native cloud onramps to the leading public cloud providers, and high-performance, dedicated connectivity to networks and partners within CoreSite’s data centers. In turn, CoreSite customers will have access to more than 40,000 fiber route miles on Astound’s nationwide fiber network.
Astound selected CoreSite based on CoreSite’s more than 20-year track record of providing highly redundant, secure colocation solutions and its robust ecosystem of enterprise customers and digital platforms. In addition, CoreSite’s high-performance, secure and diverse connectivity translates into a competitive edge and growth opportunities for Astound’s business customers through operational continuity, reduced costs, lower latency and scalability.
