AboveNet's Secure Fibre Network Connects to London's Telehouse West Data Centre
LONDON, June 16, 2010-- AboveNet Communications UK Ltd, a leading provider of high-bandwidth
connectivity solutions for business and carriers today announced its network
connection to the new Telehouse West data centre in London's Docklands. This
collaboration will enable London's businesses to benefit from AboveNet's
ultra-low latency, highly scalable and secure fibre network. This
installation builds upon AboveNet's existing connections to Telehouse North,
Telehouse East and Telehouse Metro - further expanding the AboveNet network
to data centres in London.
Escalating demand from companies requiring a high bandwidth, resilient
network has enabled AboveNet to provide an optimum, highly efficient data
transfer service. In today's increasingly competitive markets, connectivity
is a key consideration to enhance performance and productivity; AboveNet is
at the leading edge to provide this.
"We are very pleased to connect to Telehouse West and enable customers to
benefit from the fastest speeds and most secure connections to their vital
data and applications. Telehouse is one of the largest international internet
hubs in Europe and is therefore of huge strategic importance," said John
Donaldson, Managing Director, AboveNet UK.
"Organisations such as the demanding new media market and finance sectors
are increasingly turning to Cloud services to deliver mission critical
applications and this investment will help make the promises of cloud
computing a reality," he concluded.
Michelle Reid, Sales and Marketing Director, Telehouse said, "As a
company that has built an excellent reputation for its technology, service
and reliability, we are delighted that AboveNet is now connected to Telehouse
West and able to offer its direct, low-latency fibre-optic services to all of
our London data centre customers".
The agreement with Telehouse is part of AboveNet's ongoing investment
strategy, connecting to vital locations to support the growing need for
high-bandwidth solutions.
