Press Release
Mzima Networks Announces the Completion of its National Expansion
Project
LOS ANGELES, Calif., May 18, 2004 - Mzima Networks announced today
the completion of its national expansion project designed to enhance
the current 600% annual growth of Mzima’s customer base. The
3 city expansion adds Dallas, Chicago and Ashburn, Virginia to the
existing PoP cities of Los Angeles and San Jose, giving Mzima Networks
a national footprint, and allows Mzima to further its performance-enhancing
peering relationships.
The expansion build-out which began in December 2003 duplicates
Mzima’s existing bandwidth-optimized platform in 3 key domestic
markets. The platform, using a combination of advanced route analysis
software and direct connectivity to major domestic broadband ISPs,
offers customers the fastest IP transit services available.
“This expansion enables Mzima Networks to enhance performance
needs in addition to growing our footprint,” stated Mike Dell’Anno,
President of Sales & Marketing for Mzima Networks. “Mzima’s
network backbone has been able provide high quality IP connectivity
to our customers from day one, but the national footprint will help
us capitalize on our peering relationships which ultimately increase
network performance.”
“Mzima has established itself as a leader in the Asia/Pacific
market due to its extensive connectivity with backbones in many
countries in the region,” said Grant Kirkwood, Chief Technology
Officer. “This deployment allows us to strengthen our domestic
connectivity as well as connectivity to Europe, giving us a truly
global reach.”
Mzima’s unique architecture allows customer traffic to take
the optimal path to the end-user. Although Mzima interconnects with
many backbones and broadband ISPs in every city, sometimes higher
performance can be obtained by carrying traffic directly on its
own OC-48 backbone rather than relying on possibly congested broadband
ISP links. By having a variety of possible routes to popular destinations,
Mzima guarantees high performance and availability for mission-critical
Internet applications.
