Geo, a leading provider of bespoke fibre networks, and Equinix, Inc. have announced that Geo has extended its London datacenter footprint with a significant expansion into two Equinix facilities.
The partnership will give Geo customers access to Equinix's world-class colocation centers and provide them with the ability to scale their operations and power needs, and increase the reliability and speed of IT operations, while operating within a highly secure physical environment. It is particularly significant for Geo customers in London - an area widely acknowledged to be suffering from space and power shortages.
As a part of the agreement, Geo has successfully connected into the Equinix London-City (LD1) and London-Slough (LD4) Internet Business Exchange centers, and can now offer high-speed, cost effective fibre network services from these locations, giving Equinix and Geo customers the ability to extend their network and take advantage of diverse routes of connectivity into Slough.
"We are delighted to include these Equinix points of presence on to our growing Metro network in London," commented Mark Ryder, London sales director at Geo, "These connections complement Geo's existing London colocation facilities, bringing the total connected datacenters on our growing London network to nineteen."
