Zayo teams up with Salesforce

Zayo Group Holdings is teaming up with Salesforce to enable customers to connect directly to their Salesforce environments via Zayo’s high-bandwidth, fibre-based connections. Zayo’s network solutions provide Salesforce customers with options for private connectivity transport that is high-performing and highly secure.

Zayo’s fibre-optic network extends more than 84,000 route miles across the United States and Europe, and connects to approximately 17,500 on-net buildings, providing connectivity to the majority of data centres and carrier hotels in the United States.

Zayo’s cloud connectivity will initially link to Salesforce Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Community Cloud, Analytics Cloud and Force.com. Zayo’s connectivity solutions are flexible and scalable so multiple connections can be established initially or added over time.

“Our dedicated connections provide predictable performance, a high level of security and a consistent network experience without the need for an Internet-based connection,” said Dennis Kyle, senior vice president of strategic market and business development at Zayo. “We are enabling customers to create this dedicated connectivity to their Salesforce environments simply, securely and cost-effectively.”

Customers can generate a quote, shop and purchase Zayo services, including dedicated connectivity, through Tranzact, an innovative online shopping and self-service platform built on the Salesforce Platform.
