JERSEY CITY, N.J., Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Last Mile Connections (LMC), a carrier-neutral colocation and online bandwidth exchange provider, announces today that the company will offer up to three months of free power and space within six of its colocation sites to any nonprofit or government agency involved in Hurricane Katrina's relief efforts or to any Gulf Coast business now devastated by the hurricane. This offer comes just days after Katrina slammed the coast of Louisiana and Mississippi, destroying entire communities and devastating all forms of local communication services.
"All of us here at LMC were deeply saddened by the recent disaster," says James Martino, Chief Executive Officer and President of Last Mile Connections. "LMC would like to reach out and help those affected, either by providing critical communications to the agencies involved in disaster recovery or by providing data center backup to local telecom companies and businesses. This backup will help re-establish service to the many families now trying to find and reconnect with their loved ones. It is our wish that LMC's available service can offer a small amount of comfort to those companies and people who are working day in and day out, rebuilding lives."
Last Mile Connections is offering all of its available space at six of its major colocation centers in Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami, Los Angeles, and Washington DC. Each center is located within a major communications carrier hotel, with available access to hundreds of local, national and international competitive data, voice and IP carriers. The sites have fully redundant, state-of-the art, back up power, with AC & DC availability, and overhead cable, rack and cabinet space. Last Mile Connections will also provide the services of their highly-qualified, on-site technicians to aid in the initial setup and connection of the affected companies' networks.
