ALBANY, NY--(Marketwired - Oct 16, 2017) - FirstLight, a leading fiber-optic bandwidth infrastructure services provider operating in the Northeast, announced today that the New Hampshire Judicial Branch has selected FirstLight to provide Internet and data center services for its system of 82 courts in 38 locations throughout the state. The New Hampshire Judicial Branch locations include supreme, superior, district, family and probate courts, from where IT services are provided to approximately 700 employees in total.
The New Hampshire Judicial Branch selected FirstLight due to its wide-ranging experience in providing connectivity and data center services to other government agencies throughout its footprint. FirstLight's proven track record of facilitating seamless interconnection with other carriers was also an appealing factor to the court system.
FirstLight's Manchester, NH data center provides the New Hampshire Judicial Branch with enterprise-class security and disaster recovery for the continuity of its mission-critical operations and support of its cloud-based applications. The data center's close proximity to their offices is also an advantage, as technicians from both organizations are able to collaborate in order to ensure maximum reliability, uptime and security.
The court system also relies on FirstLight for connectivity of all courts to its central enterprise software systems and e-government applications, along with scalable, high-speed Internet services.
"We chose FirstLight for its established, locally-based data center, which is within easy reach of our technicians. The facility provides best-in-class security, power generation, power backup and server room cooling capability," stated Matthew Seaton, Chief Information Officer for the New Hampshire Judicial Branch.
