It offers ultra-low latency connectivity to global financial hubs as well as cloud on-ramps, hosting and managed services. Arc and BSO’s customers and partners can rapidly connect on-demand to and from any point over the companies’ combined footprint, with extended reach, capabilities and growth opportunities.
