Quickly realizing the need for detailed fiber maps for both metro and long haul networks, Murphy launched FiberLocator, which has become one of the most comprehensive mapping resources for identifying dark fiber and lit services. Additionally, BuildingLocator was developed to catalog lit buildings across the US, and now provides information on over 80,000 lit buildings.
Because high capacity networks often touch data centers, Murphy has recently spearheaded the creation of an online resource helps users find both data center space and connectivity, FindADataCenter.com. With information and a long list of providers offering data center solutions and managed services, FindADataCenter.com is rapidly growing as the go-to site for identifying and selecting a data center and network solution.
