Empowering New York’s Educational Institutions
Unlike providers with a broad, national focus, our solutions are tailored to address the specific needs of New York’s higher education institutions, drawing insights from the experiences of your peers within the state. We offer a concierge-level service experience, ensuring you receive the personalized attention and support you deserve. Imagine having a direct line to a knowledgeable expert who can quickly resolve a technical issue or provide guidance on optimizing your service!
Network Reliability
The distributed infrastructure of Edge’s network places services closer to users, and provides resilience against outages. If the primary data center or network in NYC goes down, the Edge network in Newark, New Jersey serves as a backup to keep networks running without interruption, 100% up time! Redundant systems and failover mechanisms are essential for minimizing downtime and maintaining business continuity.
High Speed, Low Latency, and User Experience
The Edge network delivers faster speeds and lower latency by reducing the distance data travels and using local peering. This results in smoother, more responsive digital experiences for end users, even during high-traffic events or outages.
Security and Monitoring
Industry standard routing security protocols and real-time monitoring are integral to the Edge network, protecting data and ensuring rapid detection and resolution of issues.
Disaster Recovery
In case of unforeseen events or natural disasters, a backup connection enables quick restoration of internet access.
DDos Mitigation Support Service
Our DDoS mitigation services can detect and respond to attacks quickly, sometimes before they impact your network.
Personalized Attention & Rapid Response Times
Edge provides a dedicated point of contact who understands your institution’s specific needs and challenges–providing efficient and timely support when you need it most.
Cloud Migration Support
Our co-location services can facilitate your institution’s transition, offering a hybrid solution that allows schools to maintain some on-premises data while expanding their cloud capabilities.
Scalability for Growth
Our co-location services provide built-in scalability without significant infrastructure investments. With increasing data privacy and security concerns, our co-location facilities offer robust protection for sensitive student data.
Access to Internet2’s Community Anchor Program (CAP)
CAP, a community-driven program focused on expanding access to advanced broadband services and putting them to work to increase educational opportunities for everyone, works with 46 state and regional research and education (R&E) network partners to develop, adopt, and deploy advanced network-enabled applications and services across community anchor institutions nationwide.
Support for Modern Learning
Our network can handle the demands of technology-integrated learning, including virtual desktops, AI applications, and remote learning capabilities.
Cost-Effective Solution
By using our co-location services, schools can avoid the high costs of building and maintaining their own data centers, addressing a common barrier to technology upgrades.
