Comcast Business and Expedient Partner to Support Business Growth in Memphis

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (Sept. 7, 2017) – Comcast Business today announced it has established a new fiber optic Point of Presence (PoP) at Expedient’s Memphis data center. This connectivity will offer customers of Expedient, a cloud computing and data center infrastructure as a service (IaaS) provider, access to Comcast Business’ 10-gigabit fiber network in Memphis. The Ethernet service will provide businesses, schools, hospitals and government organizations with highly scalable and ultra-fast connectivity.

“Comcast Business has led the way in providing connectivity options for businesses in Memphis that require high-speed networks between locations, to a local data center or to the cloud,” said Jim Kothe, Regional Vice President at Expedient Data Centers. “We are proud to be able to provide this level of connectivity to our customers in the Memphis region.”
