Datum further strengthens connectivity options at the Farnborough data centre
November 2016 by Marc Jacob
Datum Datacentres announced that two
further communications and connectivity service providers have joined the ranks of
connected carriers within its Farnborough facility.
Datum launched in 2012 to provide a robust co-location service for business critical
IT, tailored to meet the requirements of security-conscious enterprises and service
providers. Integral to the service is the ability to offer clients a broad choice of
carriers in order that they can arrange appropriate levels of redundancy,
flexibility and portability at the best price for their needs.
Matt MacCluney, Datum’s Sales Director, comments: “We are delighted to welcome
these new carriers into Datum’s Farnborough data centre, further broadening
available connectivity options. SSE Enterprise Telecoms in particular has ambitious
expansion plans to bring their networking solutions to the most strategically placed
facilities in the UK while Datum has an impressive client list from private and
public sectors for whom security and resilience are imperative. The addition of
these two carriers provides even greater choice in selecting the right providers for
their business model.”
Managing Director, Dominic Phillips, adds: “Carrier neutrality and breadth of
choice are essential to Datum offering of secure resilient co-location. Farnborough
is particularly well catered for by comms carriers, and the breadth of choice on
offer gives Datum clients access to resilience, service and latencies of less than a
millisecond to the City – perfect for DR and business critical IT.”
