Cutting-edge custom solutions bringing about digital transformation: FiberLight

In the digital world we live in, fiber networks is important as it is one of the most powerful technologies facilitating communication in today's fast-paced world. Fiber is preferred over electrical cabling when high bandwidth, long distance, or immunity to electromagnetic interference is required. This type of communication can transmit voice, video, and telemetry through local area networks or across long distances.

Globally, there are various companies providing excellent services in fiber networks, among them, Fiberlight stands out. FiberLight has been designing, building, and deploying one-of-a-kind fiber networks to ignite digital revolution for over 20 years. Today FiberLight owns over 14,000 route miles of robust fiber networks in over 44 key growth areas in Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Texas, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. All of its carrier-grade products including Ethernet, FiberLight Cloud Connect, Dedicated Internet Access, Dark Fiber, and Wavelengths are engineered to ensure business continuity. The company credits its success to having the right people at the right places making the right investments.

Ethernet and Wavelength Transport Services

Cisco Systems predicts a 31% increase in global Internet traffic in data centers by 2022. In order to meet this increase in demand, data centers and enterprise organizations are already planning for and deploying high-capacity transport infrastructure, including 100G Ethernet circuits. FiberLight is all about creating a personalized, high-performance transport experience. Explore its Ethernet and DWDM services to see how its custom solutions can help you build a strong foundation to ensure the success of your technology initiatives. Constant connectivity ensures seamless business operations, and FiberLight’s carrier-grade MEF-compliant Metro E-LINE Ethernet services and cost-efficient DWDM Wave offering each provide a simple solution and greater peace of mind. And because its own fiber optic infrastructure powers each of its Ethernet services, you get responsive, reliable, and local support. Corporate growth and expansion into new markets is always exciting, but failure to ensure reliable, scalable site-to-site connectivity can doom multi-state operations. In fact, ensuring reliable, on-demand access to secure collaboration tools between offices is one of the key drivers for employee and overall organizational productivity.

Cloud Connect

Cloud usage is growing, and it’s only going to get bigger. The State of the Cloud Survey 2018 reports that 96% of enterprises are using the cloud and view it as a top priority. And, as reported in the Cisco Global Cloud Index 2015–2020, cloud traffic is expected to grow exponentially by 2020. Choosing the right cloud service provider is important, but it’s only half the battle. You also need the right network infrastructure for seamless data flow in and out of the cloud. FiberLight partners with the most trusted cloud exchange providers to bring you FiberLight Cloud Connect, a private connection to the cloud using its carrier-grade fiber infrastructure combined with its Ethernet and Long-Haul solutions. This low-latency, secure, and private connection is offered from any of FiberLight’s Core POPs to any of FiberLight’s or its exchange partners’ cloud-enabled locations to the top cloud providers in the industry, including AWS, Azure, Google, Oracle, IBM, and many more.

Enhanced Dedicated Internet Access (DIA)

Cloud deployments are the major driver for increased Internet traffic. However, according to Future Market Insights, reliable Dedicated Internet access is also necessary for other mission critical bandwidth-intensive enterprise programs and applications, such as remote access, video and web conferencing, web-based video training, and VoIP. With adaptive fiber optic solutions with protected network configuration options at speeds ranging from 1GE to 100Gbps, FiberLight ensures your services grow as you do. Plus, by specializing in building new, diverse routes into hard-to-reach locations, the company is able to provide a true alternative for unique buildings and markets. Just like your Tier-4 data centers, FiberLight connects with multiple peering partners to minimize the risk of downtime. Its industry-leading connectivity and performance, expansive network footprint, and redundancy planning all help ensure maximum uptime and, ultimately, accelerate your business. FiberLight’s DIA services can help you understand the new requirements for IPv6 and 100Gbps Ethernet service, including LAN/PHY and WAN/PHY interfaces.

Meet the leader behind the success of Fiberlight

Prior to Christopher Rabii’s appointment as CEO of FiberLight, he was the SVP of Technology, Fulfillment and Operations for Altice Business, a division of Altice USA, where he was responsible for all activities related to service delivery, engineering and operations in support of Altice’s enterprise and carrier customers. Prior to his role at Altice, Rabii served as the SVP of Operations and Chief Technology Officer at Cablevision Lightpath, which was acquired by Altice in 2016. In this role, Rabii was instrumental in achieving challenging operational upgrades, leading a team to ultimately provide improvements that were noteworthy for their successful partnership with sales, speed of implementation and subsequent customer service enhancements. The resulting financial performance exceeded industry expectations.

Chris and his teams have consistently outperformed in key technical and operational areas, including network design, fiber construction, engineering, field operations, provisioning, maintenance and network monitoring. Earlier in his career, Rabii held a number of executive management positions at AboveNet, an early leader in providing mission-critical metro fiber connectivity to enterprise customers across Tier 1 markets in the U.S.
