Telx’s [CHI1](http://www.telx.com/data-center/chicago/#facility-350-e.-cermak-road-chicago-il) facility is within the world’s largest datacenter at 1.1 million square feet and one of the most critical facilities for the financial services industry. As the operators of the “Meet-Me-Room,” and one of the largest colocation providers at the **[CH1 facility](http://www.telx.com/data-center/chicago/#facility-350-e.-cermak-road-chicago-il)** at 350 Cermak, Telx provides industry leading data center and connectivity services for the global business community. Under the agreement, [Allstream](http://www.allstream.com/) will establish an interconnection between their original POP in Printer’s Square Chicago, with Telx’s [CHI1](http://www.telx.com/data-center/chicago/#facility-350-e.-cermak-road-chicago-il) data center. The arrangement enables Allstream to offer the same high grade, redundant, IP Wavelength service suite out of [CHI1](http://www.telx.com/data-center/chicago/#facility-350-e.-cermak-road-chicago-il).  Allstream customers now have more choices for their interconnection points. “Hidalgo Communications  provided us with a number of options and we selected Telx’s [CHI1](http://www.telx.com/data-center/chicago/#facility-350-e.-cermak-road-chicago-il) facility because it enables us to provide more connectivity options into our network; allowing over 98% of Canadian businesses to be reached by US Carriers. We view our partnership with Telx as an expansion of our network footprint,” said Christine Pop, Allstream’s General Manager Sales, Global Partner Solutions.  “Telx enables us to be more responsive to our customers, and to offer more competitive options as well as great services to our clients, not just in Canada and in the U.S. but also globally.” “Allstream required a facility that would accommodate both inbound as well as outbound customers, from fulfilling Canadian enterprise customers who have needs in the U.S. and on behalf of U.S. based and global carriers who have business interests extending into Canada,” adds Anthony Hidalgo, CEO of Hidalgo Communications.  “Few facilities in Chicago met this requirement but Telx’s [CHI1](http://www.telx.com/data-center/chicago/#facility-350-e.-cermak-road-chicago-il) data center fulfilled all of their needs and then some.” “Allstream has made significant investments in providing streamlined processes for quick delivery, while continuing to provide exceptional customer and remaining cost effective,” said Anthony Rossabi, SVP of Service Provider Markets for Telx.  “Allstream’s Global Carrier Solutions team helps carriers around the world simplify operations to improve productivity, maximize performance and manage costs. Throughout this process we have been proud to partner with Allstream on design, strategy, and help provide the needed flexibility for pricing and scale.” Telx’s [CHI1](http://www.telx.com/data-center/chicago/#facility-350-e.-cermak-road-chicago-il) facility provides access to more than 40 of the leading domestic and international carriers and physical connection points of the world's telecommunications networks and Internet backbones.
