Mzima Networks opens its Global Network Operations Center
LOS ANGELES, CA– November 17, 2003 – Mzima Networks
today announced the opening of its Global Network Operations Center
on the 17th floor of the One Wilshire Building in downtown Los Angeles.
The location of the Network Operations Center was specifically
chosen to compliment Mzima's backbone deployment on the 11th floor
and connectivity in the 4th floor meet-me-room. The opening of the
new facility marks a significant expansion for Mzima Networks at
the 624 South Grand (One Wilshire) address, considered by network
service providers to be one of the "most connected" buildings
in the U.S.
"With One Wilshire being undoubtedly one of the most connected
buildings on the West Coast, and a majority of our IP customers
in the southwestern United States, it was the logical choice for
our Global Network Operations Center," said Michael Dell'Anno,
President of Sales for Mzima Networks.
"Mzima not only offers fast and reliable connectivity at a
competitive price, but offers it with personal service and a commitment
to quality, said Timothy M. Doherty -- Managing Director of CRG
West. "We are pleased that Mzima has chosen to grow its operations
at One Wilshire. The addition of Mzima Networks further solidifies
One Wilshire's position as the premier point of data interconnection
in Los Angeles."
