The ITS Technology Group, which have deployed various open access full fibre broadband and Ethernet networks across the UK, has today announced that they’ve partnered with bandwidth infrastructure company euNetworks to provide enterprises with direct connectivity to Europe’s “most strategically important” data centres.
The partnership brings together ITS’s business-grade full fibre network, which is already said to reach more than 25% of the UK’s commercial premises (and passing a third of data centres), with euNetworks’ footprint of 582-plus connected data centres across Europe.
Enterprise customers will now be able to take advantage of new high-bandwidth connections, with the two organisations providing connectivity up to 10Gbps from any point on the ITS network to any location across euNetworks’ European footprint. “Enterprises gain direct, secure links to IT workloads and multiple cloud environments, with guaranteed resilience, assured connectivity, and data sovereignty,” said the announcement.
For ITS’s 500+ channel partners, the agreement provides access to integrated point-to-point or point-to-multipoint services with the “most strategically important data centres across the UK and Europe … Offered through a single contract, they will benefit from streamlined ordering, consolidated billing, end-to-end delivery, and in-life service management“.
Daren Baythorpe, Chief Executive Officer at ITS, said:
“UK businesses are demanding faster, more resilient ways to connect to their critical applications and data. By linking our full fibre leased line services with euNetworks’ reach, we’re giving enterprises and partners the ability to scale, innovate and stay secure, without complexity. This collaboration is about delivering the performance and simplicity customers need to thrive in a cloud-first, data-driven world.”
Marisa Trisolino, CEO at euNetworks, said:
“As a European provider of critical bandwidth infrastructure, euNetworks is proud to be able to extend the value of our expansive data centre footprint to ITS’s customers and partners as part of this collaboration. Our joint focus on automation and streamlined operations makes it even easier for UK enterprises to benefit from our combined reach, allowing us to quickly and proactively address the ever-increasing demand for scalable, secure, AI-ready connectivity.”
