AboveNet Cloud Solutions
Overview of MediaFire:
MediaFire was founded by a group of website enthusiasts and entrepreneurs who were frustrated by the troublesome process of sharing large files over e-mail and FTP. They created MediaFire to provide the simplest file hosting service for sharing files and images over the internet.
Every month, more than 150 million people use MediaFire to send and receive 760 million files to their friends, family, fans, colleagues, and clients.
MediaFire is now one of the fastest growing sites on the web with greater than 100% yearly growth. They are the only file sharing site to offer unlimited downloads, unlimited uploads, unlimited storage, download resuming, zero wait times, and more, all for free. With the constant addition of new features and their attention to user feedback, MediaFire remains the leader in online storage.
Business Need:
MediaFire needed a high bandwidth solution that offers the reliability and scalability necessary to grow at the speed of their business.
They also needed this high performance network to link up sites in Dallas, Houston and San Francisco.
Technical Needs:
Prior to working with AboveNet, MediaFire lacked the bandwidth connectivity between their main sites in Dallas, Houston and San Francisco. They also had a need for additional diversity built into an affordable high capacity network.
MediaFire is leveraging the new high bandwidth network to improve their users’ online file sharing experience. The team also continues to work on new projects and add features and functionality. With the AboveNet services, they will easily be able to scale the network to keep up with their rapid growth.
Why was AboveNet Selected:
AboveNet’s established expertise in providing robust, high bandwidth networks made it an obvious choice as the partner to provide MediaFire with the diverse connectivity to help enable them to meet the growing demands of their user-base.
AboveNet was able to meet MediaFire’s business and technical needs with a diverse, scalable network designed to connect their key sites in Houston and Dallas to meet their growing demand for bandwidth.
“We chose AboveNet as a solution not just because AboveNet had the fiber optic infrastructure we needed; any number of carriers could supply that,” said Derek Labian, president and chief executive officer of MediaFire. “What AboveNet brought to the table that was unique and valuable was the quality of their services team, their unparalleled reputation and ability to flexibly meet our needs for any type of connectivity. In short, we could really count on AboveNet to deliver end to end.”
AboveNet Solution:

AboveNet Service Benefits:
AboveNet is able to offer the speed of installation, the price and efficiency of a diverse network, stellar service and support and the ability to scale on demand.
As MediaFire introduces new features and services, they have the assurance that that AboveNet’s network will handle the additional bandwidth requirements and rapidly scale. The AboveNet network was designed to turn up bandwidth in rapid intervals and in some cases pre-position the network in order to stay ahead of MediaFire’s growing bandwidth demand. As a result, the customer is better equipped to plan and support future projects and expansion.
