Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Xandr, Inc., now an ad-tech subsidiary of Microsoft, has seen a lot of change in the 14 years since its inception. For one, Xandr has been involved in a number of acquisitions \u2013 both as the acquirer and the acquiree. Additionally, the digital ad-tech space has long been highly competitive and volatile, with ad-tech companies facing regulatory challenges, technological advancements, and platform and algorithm shifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With so much change happening so quickly, Xandr needs technology partners that can keep up. This is one of the qualities Gerry Quinones, Xandr\u2019s Director of Data Center Operations, Procurement, and Logistics, who\u2019s been with the company for nearly as long as it\u2019s existed, looks out for. In his role, Gerry oversees anything housed in Xandr\u2019s colocation sites, including 16,000 servers, Wavelength and IP Transit<\/a> circuits, and any on-site hardware. Or, as he describes it, he ensures everything data center-related is \u201cgreen and blinking and not red and screaming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amid ongoing evolution, one thing, Gerry shares, has remained constant: Xandr\u2019s partnership with Zayo. Xandr has long relied on Zayo solutions to enable data transfer, real-time processing, and global connectivity \u2013 elements critical to Xandr\u2019s success in a competitive ad-tech landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ticking Xandr\u2019s Checklist for a Great Network Partner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When choosing network partners and solutions, Xandr looks for a few key things:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n


High-Quality Network Solutions in the Right Places<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

First, global connectivity is important to the organization, which operates worldwide. Zayo Global Reach provides trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific subsea cables help ensure overseas connectivity to important data centers. While the vast majority of Xandr\u2019s services are housed in the U.S., they also need to connect into data centers in Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and Singapore. The Zayo group of companies, including Zayo Europe and Zayo Global Reach, provide connectivity into these key global data centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, whether ordering subsea or terrestrial wavelengths, Xandr takes a hard look at what\u2019s available and chooses best-in-class network solutions, available in their key locations. \u201cWe\u2019re always looking to get the best latency possible, with the best pricing, and the best routing,\u201d Gerry tells Zayo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Value of Owned Fiber<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Aside from the location and quality of routes available, Xandr\u2019s team also appreciates that Zayo is an easy network provider to work with. Much of that attests to the fact that Zayo owns a majority of the fiber network in North America and Zayo Europe owns most of the network in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offering one of the largest owned fiber networks in these regions, Zayo can easily respond to maintenance, upgrade, and repair requests, providing consistent service quality and quick repair times. Owned routes enable predictable latency, guaranteed capacity, and greater control and flexibility for customers like Gerry, eliminating the pitfalls of working with a provider that leases the majority of their fiber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Frictionless, Long-Term Partnership Built on Trust<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In addition to having the right latency and pricing to meet Xandr\u2019s needs on independently-owned fiber routes, Zayo\u2019s team has also played a key role in sustaining the long-term success of Zayo and Xandr\u2019s partnership. The ability of Zayo\u2019s team to listen and find the right solution for Xandr instead of telling them what they need without much input has been greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Zayo has the right people in the right places to make the customer happy,\u201d Gerry explains, \u201cYou have smart people where they need to be so you can actually have an intelligent conversation and not go back and forth and waste everybody\u2019s time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He nods to his relationship with his account manager in particular \u2013 someone he\u2019s worked with for almost a decade. He can depend on her to get to work for him right away when there\u2019s an outage or a new network need, connecting him with the right team to resolve things fast or deploy new circuits quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We\u2019ve never had to wait more than two weeks for even a cross-country circuit to come online,\u201d Gerry shares, \u201cwhereas that can take three months with other providers.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, over half of Xandr\u2019s global traffic transits Zayo circuits. It\u2019s tough to tell what tomorrow holds in a quickly evolving industry, but Xandr\u2019s team can rest assured that Zayo will be there to support their networking needs now and in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gerry reiterates this sentiment: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Having a partner like Zayo that\u2019s easy to work with to meet rapidly, constantly changing demands is beneficial.”<\/p>\n– Gerry Quinones<\/strong>
