Fixed Mobile Convergence

Geo reportedly has connected its network to the newly expanded Interxion City Data Center. 

Interxion added 1,250 square miles of equipped space to its London City Data Center in April. With the addition of Geo’s dedicated fiber optic network to the Interxion City Data Center’s carriers, the customers of Interxion will be provided with an even wider range of connectivity options, according to Geo.

 

According to Greg McCulloch, Managing Director of Interxion U.K., “The addition of Geo to our roster of connectivity partners comes at a very good time for both businesses. Due to our location in the City, as well as our recent expansion, we are seeing increased interest in colocation space from financial, gaming and technology businesses who want highly secure ultra-fast fiber connections.”

 

Interxion says it provides carrier neutral data centers and managed services, including the most extensive pan-European footprint, highest industry specifications, carrier neutrality and flexible solutions.

 

The Interxion City Data Center will be able to provide 2 kilowatts of power per square mile with N+1 redundancy and free air-cooling as standard. Also provided will be the latest alarm and monitoring systems, company officials say. If required, the ability to set up advanced customer requirements such as 2N redundancy configurations and high power density of up to 20kW per cabinet has also been provided.

 

The fiber network of Geo runs through the sewer system in London. It provides greater security and eliminates potential downtime caused by upgrades and routine work. Scalable 1 to 10 Gigabit Ethernet services or bespoke optical fiber networks are provided by Geo.Metro service. The U.K. network of Geo is the newest legacy-free national duct and optical fiber network in the country.

 

Chris Smedley, the chief executive officer of Geo, said that “The Interxion City site is the only data center in the City with space available and 13 megawatts of power on tap, specifications of particular interest to the most demanding customer. This is an ideal relationship for Geo as these are just the sort of customers looking for maximum security and maximum uptime fiber solutions.” Geo is focused on the design and build of bespoke dedicated fiber network solutions.
