Manchester, 21st March 2013: Ping Networks, a UK telecommunications and managed network solutions provider, has today announced that it has completed a major extension to its UK network through the roll out of an ultra-low latency and resilient multi 10Gig network into all of Telecity Manchester data centres. The network extension builds on the wide connectivity options already available in Manchester, further enabling high bandwidth and resilient connectivity into London and beyond.
Ping Networks provides connectivity and network solutions across its UK network. This expansion means that customers in any of Manchester’s primary data centre facilities – including Telecity’s new Joule House facility next to MediaCity – can now access Ping Networks’ MPLS, IP Transit, Layer 2 services and data centre interconnects within Manchester and back to London at up to 10Gbps capacity per link.
The company states that the continued growth of the digital economy in Manchester means they are seeing a continued increase in demand for enterprise-grade, high performance network services in the region.
Simon Chaimberlain, Managing Director at Ping Networks commented: “Manchester data centres are thriving ecosystems that give us the opportunity to provide value-added services to a really wide variety of customers, as well as interconnect with hundreds of other carriers. Having a presence in several of the region’s leading data centre facilities gives us the opportunity to provide services to a wide cross-section of the companies that make-up Manchester’s thriving business and technology economies.”
“As a highly-connected city with significant geographical separation from London, customers are increasingly looking to locate infrastructure in both London and Manchester as part of disaster recovery strategy. With an existing high capacity network portfolio in London, Ping Networks can now offer completely diverse high capacity links between major data centres in both Cities.”
The move is part of Ping Networks’ wider expansion programme designed to capitalise on the growing demand for customers to expand their network requirements into and across Europe. The company is also looking to move into other thriving European digital hubs including Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Dublin.
