Metcom extends Epsilon’s global hubs in the greater New York metro market while giving its customers access to on demand intelligent networking around the world

New York, 2 February 2017 – Epsilon, a privately owned global communications service provider, has acquired the assets and operations of Metcom Network Services, a leading provider of connectivity and colocation services across the greater New York metro market. The acquisition accelerates Epsilon’s growth in the US and enables it to deliver Cloud-centric networking in the most mature Cloud market in the world.

Metcom’s mix of colocation services, interconnection and dark fibre connectivity across key data centre sites in greater New York mirrors Epsilon’s Global Hubs in Singapore, Hong Kong and London. The acquisition enables Epsilon to replicate its offering in New York and deliver Cloud-centric networking to a growing list of US-based customers.

We are very excited to announce the acquisition of Metcom’s assets as this provides Epsilon with a perfect entry point into the US Market. It is also a great opportunity to deploy our award winning Cloud-centric networking platform in one of the world’s most vibrant communications hubs. The US is the world leader in Cloud and it’s critical that we have a growing presence in the market and the ability to serve our US customers locally, regionally and around the world. This acquisition builds on our tremendous momentum in the growing Cloud connectivity market and pushes our business to a new level.

Epsilon gains interconnect, cross connect and colocation facilities at 60 Hudson, 75 Broad Street, and PoP’s at 111 8th Avenue, 32 Ave of the Americas and various other key telecoms hubs in the New York metro market.

Epsilon is a trusted brand with a track record of success in the communications market. Its unique Cloud-centric networking proposition will benefit our customers and give them new access to regional and global markets. We’re excited to join a thriving business with a Platform as a Service (PaaS) model that simplifies and accelerates how connectivity is delivered.

The US has the most open and dynamic Cloud market in the world. I believe our networking model can enable innovation and support customers with connectivity that matches the demands of the Cloud. I see a lot of potential in our newly acquired footprint in greater New York but also in metro markets across the US. Service providers of all kinds can benefit from Cloud-centric networking that is ready to support the Channel.
