(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) – European network operator Interoute (www.interoute.com) announced on Monday that it has installed a fiber-based connection between UK data center operator TelecityGroup’s (www.telecitygroup.com) two data centers in Milan.
TelecityGroup says it chose Interoute to provide direct connectivity between its facilities for the resilience and flexibility, as well as the capacity to support its continued data traffic growth in Italy.
“Our highly connected, premium data centers are positioned at the heart of Italy’s rapidly expanding digital economy,” Luca Beltramino, managing director at TelecityGroup Italy said in a statement. “By partnering with Interoute, which provides high speed broadband with extremely low latency, we are ensuring our customers can enjoy an even wider choice of connectivity options. In particular, the partnership will enable financial institutions located in our facilities with seamless electronic trading and low-latency connectivity to the Milan Stock exchange and the key financial markets across Europe, through one of the most extensive trading platforms existing today.”
According to the press release, the partnership enables TelecityGroup to provide its customers with access to Interoute’s Fast Trade, a financial network that offers fast data speeds.
“Our NGN is increasingly being used to connect numerous exchanges across Europe with guaranteed low latency and stringent Service Level Agreements,” Simone Bonannini, managing director at Interoute SpA said in a statement. “With our on-net presence in 100 cities we can also offer our customers a wide choice of peering partners, flexible routing and high quality connectivity, all delivered from a secure networking platform.”
Recently Interoute and Infinera announced the completion of a demonstration of Infinera’s new 5000Gb/s photonic integrated circuits, which deliver 1000Gb/s channels, on the Interoute pan-European network.
