COSTA MESA, Calif. – Feb. 8 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — BandCon today announced that it has been selected by Alpha Red, Inc., a dedicated server hosting provider and Internet service provider headquartered in Houston, Texas, to facilitate the company’s peering initiative. Under the terms of the multiple-year agreement, BandCon has installed and will maintain the connectivity of Alpha Red’s private national backbone that connects all the major metropolitan areas of the United States.
The deal positions Alpha Red as a competitive player in the Internet transit market. The company has traditionally specialized in server and hosting management services. With the private backbone in place, Alpha Red will leverage over its own 125 Gbps of outgoing usage to quickly develop peering relationships and backbone capacity. “BandCon has enabled Alpha Red to accelerate its peering initiative,” said James McCreary, President of Alpha Red. “This results in lower bandwidth usage costs and also boosts network performance.”
“I’m very excited that we can bundle our services to offer a complete usable, scalable and affordable network to Alpha Red,” said Ari Benowitz, CEO and President of BandCon.
