New Facility to Provide Advanced DDoS Protection Options and Enterprise Colocation

NEWARK, N.J., July 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Amid a rise in cybercrime and digital transformation, Xtel Communications, an innovative telecommunications, cloud and network security solutions specialist, announces its third data center in the sought-after New York market. The facility, located in Newark, New Jersey, adds to the company's growing data center portfolio. Xtel's other facilities are strategically located in Philadelphia at 401 N. Broad, the renowned international gateway, and Plano, Texas.

The addition of this new facility allows Xtel to expand its serviceable footprint of Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) via fiber-optic connections. In addition, the data center will provide robust DDoS attack mitigation options to enable more secure environments.

Other key features of Xtel's New York market data center include:

• Additional redundancy options for customers seeking more diversity in last mile fiber providers and fiber paths
• Direct Connect options to SaaS (Software as a Service) and IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) providers, allowing the end-user customer to directly access these providers without having to traverse the Internet
• Strategic enterprise-level colocation services

All Xtel data centers have the ability to maintain, operate, and monitor fiber optic backbone, voice platforms, and data centers. The data centers are part of a high availability `active-active ' network architecture, allowing for immediate service failover and load balancing between the data centers. Each data center is annually recertified for major compliance frameworks, including FedRAMP, FISMA, SSAE18, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and Privacy Shield – GDPR.
