Nu-Age Managed Services Powers 100-acre IT Campus and Full-service Data Center
Optimum Lightpath, a provider of Ethernet-based communication solutions
for New York metropolitan area businesses, announced that advanced IT
solutions provider, Nu-Age Managed Services, has selected Optimum Lightpath as
its telecommunications provider. By deploying its all-fiber Ethernet-based voice
and Internet solutions, Optimum Lightpath helps Nu-Age Managed Services deliver
advanced IT solutions to customers’ offices, maintain always-on operations
across its corporate campus, and power its on-site business continuity and
disaster recovery services, while saving tens of thousands of dollars per
year.
By deploying the Optimum Lightpath network across
the100-acre corporate campus known as the IBM Palisades Conference Center,
Nu-Age Industries significantly increased its communications bandwidth,
replacing Verizon with Optimum Lightpath’s all-fiber Ethernet-based
telecommunications network and advanced voice and data communications solutions
with plans to scale further within the next year.
This deployment enables Nu-Age to provide its customers
with a full-service, always on corporate campus, including a full-service dining
room, hotel, helipad and 10,000 sq ft corporate offices to ensure business
continuity for customers, as well as house the company’s technology staging,
testing, maintenance, hosting and co-location solutions – all for one
predictable cost.
“In the brief time we’ve been working with Optimum
Lightpath, I can say the team is very responsive to our needs, much more than
what we’ve experienced to date with other providers, and has been outstanding to
work with. The quality, reliability and speed of the service is unbeatable,”
said Anthony Chillino, President of Nu-Age Industries. “Our customers rely on us
as a one-stop-shop for IT hardware, software, managed services and data center
excellence. Our customers businesses are highly dependent on constant
communications, so downtime is not an option.”
Optimum Lightpath replaced the incumbent phone company,
enabling Nu-Age to do more for less by utilizing increased bandwidth capacity
with advanced communications services that are faster and more reliable,
reducing risk with the network diversity it provides via a 100% all-fiber
network. “We’ve reduced our costs by more than 50%, while improving service to
our customers. We are also thrilled that Optimum Lightpath provides a single,
clear bill as compared with the seven we used to receive,” said
Chillino.
“We are delighted to add Nu-Age Managed Services to our
growing team of smart businesses in the New York Metropolitan area,” said Dave
Pistacchio, President of Optimum Lightpath. “We typically don’t see such a
sophisticated corporate campus with turnkey IT offerings outside of Silicon
Valley, and we’re pleased to help power these services with Nu-Age here, in New
York. As more businesses deploy efficient, cost-saving technologies leveraging
Ethernet-based voice, data, Internet and video, they join the area’s most
sophisticated businesses, and the Optimum Lightpath smart
community.”
