ColoGuard, a subsidiary of GalaxyVisions and provider of enterprise colocation services, announced a partnership with VoIP provider IPsmarx (News - Alert) Technology to extend its presence in the fast-growing segment of Internet telephony.

The partnership gives IPsmarx's customers access to ColoGuard's fast, direct network routes to cities around the world and to parent company GalaxyVisions' world-class dedicated managed services.

Further, the partnership allows VoIP service providers who work with IPsmarx  to be able to offer the clearest calls possible to their customers around the world, according to company officials.

ColoGuard’s service addresses the concerns associated with Internet telephone service, especially those pertaining to inefficient network routing and latency. ColoGuard’s network routes reach most foreign countries in under 10 hops and well below the 300ms latency threshold, so it promises crystal-clear VoIP conversations.

Additionally, ColoGuard offers separate network segments provisioned specifically for VoIP clients, the company said.

"ColoGuard is well known in the industry for its excellent service, and GalaxyVisions for its fast hardware and software installations, and responsive customer support," said Ashley Kurpel of IPsmarx. "With their focus on VoIP, we're able to offer our customers the best quality of service at the lowest possible price."

"We are pleased to work with IPsmarx, offering award-winning billing and switching solutions to VoIP Service Providers in over 65 countries and superior technical support," said ColoGuard Vice President Ruben Magurdumov in a statement.

CologGuard's 15,000-square-foot Brooklyn data center features dedicated power lines from multiple providers as well as high-capacity generators and robust security features like biometric scanners with pass-card access, mantraps at the main entry, fully archived video surveillance and 24/7/365 onsite monitoring and support.

Back in April ColoGuard launched ColoGuard Enterprise Colocation Solutions to focus on offering Tier-1 server colocation and fully managed colocation services to further meet expanding client needs.
