brings real world perspective to datacenter connectivity. From 2008 to 2017 Amesbury was on hiatus while Guy J. Ashton, our founder, took a fulltime position with Digital Realty Trust. Digital was rewriting the datacenter playbook at that time, and the opportunity to contribute was too great to pass up. Ashton used the expertise gained at Amesbury to bring carriers into 45 new-to-market datacenters across North America, EMEA and APAC. He negotiated over 400 carrier license agreements, managed 90 carrier point-of-presence rooms and documented the connectivity assets across Digital's portfolio.

What about the MMRs?
1. Carrier connectivity conundrum -
Unless carriers are built into the property already or it is fortunate enough to have Bloomberg, LinkedIn or a similar â 'destination tenant', a developer needs a connectivity strategy Day 1. Amesbury can help developers avert an all-too-common trap: carriers won't build into a property without customers but customers won't sign leases without carriers.
2. Pathway, premises, and power -
Despite their criticality, these elements of a datacenter's connectivity frequently go under-developed. Amesbury can oversee the design and configuration of a datacenter's Zero MHs, duct banks, telco spaces, racks and beyond to ensure that the physical layer is manageable, sustainable and monetizable.
3. Documentation will set you free
The right software increases the value of the physical layer exponentially. Trying to manage connectivity assets with an unwieldly tangle of spreadsheets does not. Amesbury can help clients harness their data with a cloud-based connectivity management solution that empowers datacenter operations - from trouble-shooting and workflow management to one-touch report generation.
