Global data centre solutions business EdgeConnex has partnered with Colt Technology Services, a bandwidth solutions provider.
The partnership will see the Colt IQ Network connect into several of EdgeConnex's facilities, beginning with its Amsterdam Edge Data Centre (EDC). Colt says this will enable it to address the growing local and global demands for connectivity at the edge.
Dick Theunissen, MD EMEA of EdgeConnex, says Colt is a good partner in his company's Internet ecosystem and EdgeConnex customers will receive access to an expansive network of key aggregation points around the world, as well a level of fibre connectivity that wasn't previously available.
"We are excited to welcome Colt into our Amsterdam EDC initially and look forward to extending this partnership into other Edge locations so that we can further our mission of delivering advanced connectivity at the edge of the network across the globe," Theunissen adds.
EdgeConnex provides purpose-built Edge data centre solutions that facilitate the fast delivery of data to end-users. It designs and deploys facilities that are positioned close to network provider aggregation points to address latency while improving security and quality, Theunissen says.
The Colt IQ Network covers global cloud aggregation points with multiple 100Gbps transatlantic and transpacific connections, as well as 100Gbps links in the Asia-Pacific region. It is distributed across over 850 data centres and carrier hotels, and more than 26 000 on-net buildings, in four continents and 28 countries.
Andrew Edison, VP Wholesale at Colt, says his company's strategy focuses on delivering agile, high bandwidth services in key business and digital hubs around the world.
"Global bandwidth requirements are continuing to explode, driven by a multitude of factors such as the sheer appetite for content, as well as the data produced by the Internet of things," adds Edison.
