Telx: Telx and Tata Communications Forge Global Alliance

 -- Telx and Tata Communications to leverage each other's data center footprints to offer their customers a one-stop shop for colocation services in North America, India, EMEA, and Asia Pacific regions. -- Companies to work together to develop a portfolio of managed services to support their customers.

[ Telx ], one of the largest North American interconnection and colocation data center operators, announced today that it has forged a broad-ranging, global alliance with Tata Communications, a leading wholesale and enterprise communications services provider. The relationship will leverage each company's colocation space in their respective countries of operation, allowing Telx customers requiring colocation space in India, EMEA, Asia and specific U.S. sites to obtain space in a Tata Communications data center with Telx acting as the single point of contact for contractual arrangements.

Conversely, Tata Communications customers requiring U.S. data center space or access to the Telx Internet Exchange (TIE) can do so in Telx facilities using their Tata Communications account management team as facilitators. The companies will also work together to package joint solutions, including Tata Communications managed security, data center services, and transformation services to enhance capabilities offered to their shared clients.

"This agreement enables Tata Communications to leverage its position of strength in the global communications market while extending its reach in the U.S. through the local facilities of Telx," said Vinod Kumar, President and COO of Tata Communications. "Telx, with its local market expertise and densely populated colocation facilities, matches our commitment to deliver market-leading solutions to customers in the United States."

"Telx clients have long enjoyed the simplicity of a one-stop-shop when it came to serving their colocation and interconnection needs in the U.S., but the company's domestic focus prevented us from solving the global needs of customers," said Eric Shepcaro, CEO of Telx. "We continually strive to partner with well established providers. By forging this strategic alliance with Tata Communications, we're able to better serve our clients with additional footprint options and a broader services mix that are critical to their businesses."

Tata Communications and Telx share positions of strength in their respective markets and share a similar resolve to meet customers' needs and deliver industry-leading services around the world.
