Netriplex Brings Atlanta Bandwidth to Asheville
Asheville, NC - September 13, 2007 -- The Internet highway to Western North Carolina will soon be getting a major expansion, compliments of a new Asheville-headquartered company. Netriplex Corporation announced today that it has entered into agreement with AT&T to install the first phase of what will become an OC-192 optical fiber circuit between Asheville and Atlanta. The circuit is designed with highly reliable and secure bi-directional SONET ring architecture and will be the largest Internet connection to Asheville. It is slated for completion by the end of the year.
"Getting this size pipe into our Asheville datacenter makes it equal in connectivity to our locations in Boston and Atlanta," explains Chief Technology Officer, Jonathan Hoppe. "An OC-192 carries up to 10 Gigabits per second of Internet traffic which is roughly equivalent to 7,000 T1 lines, the capacity to serve at least 25,000 average businesses. Having a dedicated fiber connection to downtown Atlanta will allow Netriplex to tap into every major carrier's Internet backbone so that Netriplex customers can have access to the most competitively priced and fastest bandwidth available, just 8 milliseconds and one Internet hop to the backbone."
Coupled with Netriplex's geographic security, this now makes Asheville the best choice in the country for storing electronic data securely and economically. Upon completion, the network will offer a self-healing system that provides the ultimate reliability by allowing instantaneous re-routing of internet traffic in the event of a fiber cut. "Netriplex will now be able to bring world class high-reliability and high-security data services to companies in the Asheville area. This has been a goal of our collective efforts for many years," comments Jack Cecil, President of Biltmore Farms.
In addition to Netriplex customers benefiting, this new Internet capacity for Asheville further bolsters broadband initiatives already started by other companies. "Netriplex's success underscores the region's technology growth and complements ERC Broadband's efforts significantly," says Hunter Goosmann, General Manager of ERC Broadband.

Its new 10,000 sq. ft. datacenter in Biltmore Park offers web hosting, utility computing and server collocation in a state-of-the-art environment with redundant power, cooling, advanced fire detection and suppression, multi-GigE connectivity to 10 major internet backbones, biometric access control and every other amenity you would expect from a first-class datacenter.
