Construction on this new fiber optic backbone began on June 8, 2010. "Increasingly higher demands on Colouisiana's current network have caused us to take on a new mission in Central Louisiana, by making fiber optics more readily available to the Alexandria marketplace" says CoLouisiana's CIO Jeromy Grimmett. The connection is a robust fiber optic network transmission line that is an ideal source for those customers who seek redundant, self-healing local access.
Several miles of new fiber optic cable is being installed now and continuing throughout the rest of the year. This network will be interconnected into CoLouisiana's data center allowing the Alexandria marketplace to have access to fiber optic broadband Internet, cloud computing services and other network resources. Regarding cloud computing, CoLouisiana Director Michael Brooks explains "Cloud computing is Internet based development and use of computer technology. It is a style of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources are provided as a service over the Internet. Users need not have knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure "in the cloud" that supports them. CoLouisiana is the first to offer Alexandria these next generation technologies, delivering Louisiana's first local community-wide cloud computing environment.
