New Fiber Circuit

No, that is not Rodin's Thinker it is our fiber optic testing contractor running a certification check of the new fiber circuit we created for a customer yesterday. Clients of digital.forest not only benefit from our well-managed BGP-meshed network, they can also choose to directly connect to bandwidth providers here in the building, and in the Intergate.Seattle datacenter campus. In the business this is what is called being "carrier-neutral", so unlike for example an AT&T facility who only provides AT&T bandwidth, digital.forest clients have choice.

In this case our customer bought a small circuit from InterNAP, who has a network point of presence across the campus from us. We provided the connection to the campus fiber network and did end-to-end testing of the circuit after it was complete.

Very soon we will be formally announcing our own point of presence at The Westin Building in downtown Seattle. This will allow our customers to provision low cost dedicated circuits between their equipment at digital.forest and the myriad of providers found at the Westin. Contact your digital.forest sales or account manager today, or watch our support blog for more information.
