ASCENT: Accretive Networks Selects Switch and Data for Colo, Interconnection

Accretive Networks has selected Switch and Data (Booth 217) as its colocation and interconnection service partner in Chicago and New York.

Accretive Networks, a provider of advanced managed hosting services, joins the growing list of Switch and Data customers that have the ability to establish access with any other Switch and Data customer for the cost of an interconnection.

"The volatility and consolidation in the telecom sector required us to choose a financially strong and stable colocation and interconnection provider — Switch and Data was the logical choice," said Victor Smith, vice president of sales and marketing at Accretive Networks. "Switch and Data’s strategically located facilities enable us to expand our network and reach."

Switch and Data specialists create solutions that are tailored to deliver value and performance based on Accretive Network’s connectivity requirements, unique network and business model. Switch and Data allows Accretive Networks to establish a new presence quickly while avoiding the expense of buildout and maintenance of their own managed network center. Switch and Data’s shared infrastructure model lets Accretive Networks spend more time focusing on their business and less time on the underlying mechanics.

Switch and Data maintains about 30 strategic locations in the United States serving about 250 network providers and business customers.
