Waco, TX (Vocus/PRWEB) March 16, 2011

FiberLight, LLC, a premier provider of mission-critical, high performance fiber optic networking services including Ethernet, Wavelengths and Dedicated IP, SONET and Dark Fiber optical transport network solutions, announced today it has deployed its flagship LightSource Ethernet platform to connect Scott & White Health Plans new state-of-the-art facility in Temple, TX to Clearviews Data Center in Waco, TX. Scott & White Health Plan serves more than 220,000 members and is the insurance division of Scott & White, one of the nations largest multi-specialty health care systems, caring for patients across 25,000 square miles in the heart of central Texas.

Scott & White Health Plan required a flexible and secure end-to-end network solution that needed to be operational upon move-in into a new, purpose-built facility in Temple, TX. The network had to be up and running quickly in order to meet the clients three-month turnaround requirement, while providing scalability for future Ethernet usage patterns. FiberLight extended its fiber from its core backbone between Temple and Waco to the new Scott & White facility, provided the FiberLight LightSource Ethernet solution and connected the new facility with Clearview Data Center, which spanned a 40+ mile distance. The network provided Scott & White with a direct path, while offering ultra low latency and 99.999 percent reliability.

At FiberLight, we pride ourselves on being able to deliver a solution the client needs when they need it. Scott & White needed an operational point-to-point connection between two of our markets in three months, and because we have a vast network footprint in Texas, we were able to utilize that resource to meet the logistical requirements of the client while providing a unique network path diverse from the ILEC, said Ben Edmond, FiberLight EVP of Sales and Marketing.

When we moved into our new facility we had a different IT infrastructure environment, and we were not certain what our bandwidth requirements would be. FiberLight was able to provide scalable bandwidth, flexible terms and have the network operational in the timeframe we required, which made FiberLight the right fit for us, said Steve Raynes, Scott & White Health Plan IT Manager, Security, Network Operations and Production Control.

Clients’ business vitality is number-one priority

October 28, 2009

Dallas, TX: Clearview is proud to have been chosen as one of the Dallas 100 in 2009 by SMU’s Cox School of Business. Criteria for the award includes growth in revenues, clients, employees and capabilities. It honors the entrepreneurial spirit of the company and the bright future for Clearview and the other awardees.

“Clearview has grown from a small consultancy 13 years ago to a technology powerhouse today,” said Hilary Palmer, Clearview Director of Marketing. “Recently, the Big Three Dallas outsourcing companies have been bought by manufacturing companies. As a result, they have a different business model that affects the way they can serve clients. Clearview maintains the tradition that our client’s business is our number-one priority, and that’s what our clients expect”.

About the Dallas 100

The unsung heroes of our economy are the entrepreneurs who build their own businesses and create jobs as fast as large companies eliminate them. While entrepreneurs are the engines of growth in our economy, they often go unrecognized. The Dallas 100™ was created to correct this injustice. Each year we scan the business environment to identify the 100 fastest growing privately held companies in the Dallas Metroplex. We honor them at one of the most prestigious facilities in the Southwest, The Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center.
