IX Reach Ltd, an international carrier specializing in network connectivity and colocation solutions, has opened its new colocation suite, the Global Carrier Center, in the heart of the London Docklands.
Officials with IX Reach said the Global Carrier Center, which is housed in TelecityGroup’s Harbour Exchange (HEX) facility with more than 150 global and local carriers available, offers an ideal location for networks looking to open a physical, or virtual, Point-of-Presence (PoP) in Europe.
Company officials pointed out that the new center is one of the most carrier dense colocation facilities in London and offers excellent network connectivity options.
Moreover, networks looking for a high-quality and convenient solution for expanding their footprint will be presented with an extensive range of services in this new facility.
According to company officials, tenants of the Global Carrier Center will have low-latency Metro access to over 20 London data centers, as well as IX Reach’s full range of products and services, including national and international point-to-point and multipoint connectivity and access to major European and U.S. Internet Exchanges, such as AMS-IX, DE-CIX, Equinix (News - Alert), LINX and Netnod.
“London colocation has enjoyed a history of being a popular service of ours,” Stephen Wilcox, founder and director of IX Reach, said in a statement.
Wilcox said that with London being one of the main European economic and networking hubs, quality colocation is always in demand and that’s why the company is so pleased to have a considerable amount of new space in this high-spec Docklands data center.
Back in March, Global layer 2 solutions provider, IX Reach, announced its new partnership with the Netherlands Internet Exchange, NL-ix, making IX Reach an official reseller of remote peering services to this popular and fast growing Distributed Internet Exchange.
This new agreement enables IX Reach customers to enjoy wider coverage when entering the European marketplace by providing them with direct, robust and secure connectivity into NL-ix through any one of its more than 75 on-net PoPs. And similarly, it will broaden European-based networks by enabling connectivity through NL-ix.
