Following a recent agreement with Surf Telecoms Limited, South Wales-based mega data centre, Next Generation Data (NGD) Europe, has further extended the direct on-site fibre connectivity options available to its customers and added the potential to connect to transatlantic links to North America.
Through Surf’s fibre ring network topology, NGD Europe customers requiring transatlantic communications have the potential to enjoy direct fibre connectivity to various submarine cable landing stations in the South West of England, uniquely bypassing the conventional backhaul locations in London to enable improved resilience, speed and reduced latency.
“This is a very important strategic development for us,” said Nick Razey, CEO of Next Generation Data Limited, the owner and operator of NGD Europe. “Given our positioning as a genuinely secure alternative to London it is essential that we offer high bandwidth connectivity which does not transit London. Our contract with Surf will facilitate dark fibre links to various submarine cable landing stations including those at Bude and Lands End and onward connectivity to the rest of the world.”
Steve Blew, Commercial Manager of Surf Telecoms commented: “We are delighted to include NGD Europe as a further point of presence (POP) on our extensive fibre network and believe our wide range of business customers will welcome the opportunity of being able to have access to this impressive data centre’s world class facilities.”
