Jersey City’s waterfront has been referred to in recent years as 'Wall Street West,' with 13.3 million square feet of Class A office space, in addition to robust manufacturing, wholesale, retail and service sectors nearby. According the U.S. Census Bureau, there were 108,914 public and private sector jobs in Jersey City at the beginning of the second quarter in 2011. A full third of the private sector jobs in the city are in the financial services. With NexGen’s headquarters in Wall Street, and numerous customers in the financial services industry, it is crucial that NexGen continually bolsters its presence in the city and its surrounding regions in order to provide clients with highly available, diverse, and high-performance services. The 15-floor 111 Town Square Place point of presence meets this need with multiple diverse fiber points of entry, 24/7/365 engineering support, six levels of security, and ongoing multimillion dollar infrastructure upgrades.
