Interxion, a leading provider of premium carrier-neutral data centre and managed services in Europe, has announced that Interxion London customers have now access to an ultra high-speed fibre-optic ring built and operated by Datahop Ltd. The ring will be used to provide high bandwidth IP transit and interlink services.
Datahop's 10 Gigabit/second ring network in London creates an ultra high-speed link offering direct 'Layer 2 connectivity' to the three Tier-1 carriers' networks of Telia, Tiscali and NTT. Interxion's customers will benefit from high availability, speed and cost efficiency of the connectivity, including multihoming solutions. Fixed pricing is designed to save businesses the time and inconvenience required to negotiate connectivity agreements with multiple suppliers. "Our connectivity solutions enable Interxion customers to connect directly to multiple carriers," says Datahop founder and Managing Director Chris Orme. "Providing them with direct access to the 10 Gigabit/second fibre ring we further enhance their choices and improve reliability of connectivity."
"Access to different networks and high resiliency of connectivity has become increasingly important as bandwidth hungry services and applications, such as gaming, web, TV and VOIP, are gaining market momentum. These services require resilient, secure and scalable connectivity platforms with choice of carriers available in a carrier neutral data centre," said Anthony Foy, Group Managing Director of Interxion.
