>>iaxis Announces Another Customer for Its High Speed Internet
Backbone
NEW YORK, May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- The value added network service provider,
iaxis, today announced another customer for its Internet backbone, which is
based on a 5 Gbps network platform. The UK business Internet pioneer, Lanz,
will become the first customer to use the new iaxis Internet service.
"Our Internet business is growing exponentially -- we're winning customers
by offering innovative commercial propositions. We needed a vendor who was
similarly innovative, a vendor who could provide us with burstable capacity
without penalty. iaxis provided the answer," said Buddy Garcha, a director at
Lanz. "We chose to work with iaxis because it's the only vendor with the
capacity flexibility that allows ISPs to grow their businesses without
impediment and the commercial flexibility to meet their business needs."
"Lanz are a great customer to have aboard -- they're leading the way in
providing broadband Internet access to businesses around London. Their vision
-- Internet 'always-on' business application portals -- is a great fit with
ours," said Michael Neuman, President and CEO.
Formed in 1998, iaxis provides ISPs, ASPs, systems integrators, web
hosters and carriers with IP networking services, broadband connectivity and
co-location facilities.
With its strategic technology suppliers, Juniper Networks(R), Inc and
Ciena, iaxis has developed the first all Juniper Networks IP backbone. The IP
backbone runs over the iaxis broadband network, one of the first Ciena DWDM
enabled networks designed to yield multi-terabit capacity. iaxis customers
can acquire broadband connectivity across 90,000 km, 205 cities and 25
countries.
iaxis is also one of the largest providers of high security, web-enabled
co-location space in Europe, with 20 Net Centers in principal European cities
today, growing to 37 by the end of 2000.
iaxis customers include Deutsche Telekom, Telenor and VIA NET.WORKS.<<
