Level 3 Communications on Monday announced that Typhon, a French hosting company, has selected the global network services provider to provide high-speed IP services connecting Typhon's international data=center operations.
Typhon is Level 3's original IP customer in its Telehouse 3 point of presence, located in Magny-les-Hameaux, France.
Level 3 and Typhon already have a fairly close business relationship. For the last three years, Level 3 has been serving as Typhon's primary IP transit provider in Europe and the United States. Level 3 also said Typhon relies on it for transatlantic capacity to interconnect Typhon's North America and French operation centers over a dedicated transport link.
"Because we offer IP services in all of the data centers where Typhon has operations, we can deliver the capacity that will support their growth, and the reach that will provide them with a resilient service in their Paris-area points of presence," said James Heard, Level 3's regional president of EMEA, in a statement. "This agreement represents Level 3's commitment to serving hosting providers and content providers, and to helping our customers leverage the investments we've made in our network to make them more successful."
