AboveNet is able to offer high-bandwidth solutions using a portfolio of services that can be custom designed to meet specific data center and customer requirements. AboveNet’s solutions are designed to provide very low latency, with the bandwidth capacity to flexibly scale as needed.

AboveNet CEO and President, Bill LaPerch said, “We are pleased to add Horizon Data Centers to approximately 400 other data centers where we offer large bandwidth connectivity. This represents yet another investment in our growing commitment to Texas and its networking infrastructure.”

“As we continue to expand our footprint to broaden the services we provide, we chose AboveNet to link our sites because they provide highly reliable, diverse high-bandwidth networking that will benefit our customers. For example, AboveNet connectivity will be an integral component of our private cloud, storage and backup service offerings,” said Lance Smith, CEO of Horizon.

Horizon clients include members of the global 1000, including the Army & Air Force Exchange Service as well as local and regional firms such as Children’s Medical Center, the Hunt Capital Group and Pizza Hut Park. Now that Horizon’s private fiber network includes its Marsh Lane facility, clients can take advantage of redundant data center infrastructure, assisting with disaster recovery and data retention projects.

This is Expedients third data center expansion in Pittsburgh since 2008.
