On-Demand Optical Network Provider AFIBER Deploys Connectivity PoP in Datacenter.com Amsterdam AMS1 Data Center

August 2018 by Marc Jacob

Datacenter.com, a channel-focused
provider of on-demand colocation services
with a
‘high-profile’ brand name and a planned roll-out of colocation data centers in
strategic markets worldwide, has added AFIBER to its connectivity portfolio in
Datacenter.com Amsterdam AMS1. To accomplish this, AFIBER has deployed a network
Point of Presence (PoP) in the Datacenter.com Amsterdam AMS1 data center. AFIBER’s
software-defined, on-demand networking proposition is the perfect fit for
Datacenter.com’s own on-demand colocation proposition with month-to-month
contracts.

Part of the Dutch telecom carrier group, AFIBER is an international provider of
Software Defined Optical Networking services (retail and wholesale) with its roots
in the Netherlands. Their highly automated and flexible workflows to provision dark
fiber and wavelength services are backed by a high capacity optical network with low
latency access to: global carriers and network service providers; 50+ data centers
in Dutch metropolitan areas and beyond in the Netherlands; and 1,000+ multi-tenant
office locations.

“A variety of AFIBER customers and prospects have been asking us for a while
already to have our network services available in Datacenter.com Amsterdam AMS1,”
said Jochem de Gruyter, CEO of AFIBER. “If you want to have the Amsterdam
metropolitan data center market truly covered, you have to take an independent
customer focused approach as network service provider. Adding AMS1 to our optical
network offers more diversity to our customers and service providers and underlines
our connectivity strategy for high density data and cloud colocation.”

CSPs, Financials, Healthcare

The Datacenter.com AMS1 data center is located in the Amsterdam South-East Business
District - one of the world’s most ‘carrier fiber’-dense areas. As a provider
of flexible, on-demand colocation services with month-to-month contracts,
Datacenter.com anticipates AFIBER’s highly automated connectivity proposition –
focused on low latency and high security - to be an attractive addition to its broad
choice of connectivity options already available in their Amsterdam AMS1 data
center.

“AFIBER and Datacenter.com share the same demand-oriented company values of
delivering high quality data center services featuring highly flexible, on-demand
characteristics. What’s more, we share the same aggressive plans for international
growth while we’re both delivering a large part of our services through an
international ecosystem of channel partners,” said Jochem Steman, CEO of
Datacenter.com. “The highly efficient connectivity services offered by AFIBER will
certainly cater to the low latency and high bandwidth needs of our most demanding
customers including cloud service providers as well as financials and organizations
within healthcare.”

Real-Time Network Specs, Design, Quotes

AFIBER’s investments in proprietary optical network management software have
resulted in an automated and fast delivery pipeline of dark fiber and wavelength
services. Retail customers and channel partners are able to select and configure
their network preferences remotely online through the AFIBER online applications.
They can select the type of network service, the preferred route(s) and engineering
specifications for deployment. AFIBER’s network management system then
automatically generates an optimal network design while the prices and technical
specifications and even quotations are being generated in real-time.

“Our unique network design provides high grade fiber optical specifications and
connectivity standards in the global industry, thanks to our investments in latest
network management systems and equipment,” added De Gruyter. “Together with the
transparent characteristics of our connectivity services and features like optical
encryption it makes our proposition a valuable one in the European market and
beyond. Datacenter.com’s market vision is pretty much similar to our own, with
their on-demand colocation proposition, its plans for international expansion and
also their channel-focused strategy. Next to that, like us, they have a passion for
delivering high quality data center infrastructure – in their case, with an
ultra-low thus energy-efficient PUE figure and OCP-ready data halls. We’re looking
forward to a long and fruitful partnership with Datacenter.com.”
