iomart Group plc Launches New Fiber Network


October 18, 2012




British cloud and managed hosting services provider iomart Group plc has launched a new fiber network designed to provide “the fastest connectivity and transit of data” between its data centers in the United Kindom and the key British Internet exchanges, it was reported yesterday.

The network represents “a multi-million pound investment” for iomart, and whereas the company previously relied on a number of providers for routing customer connectivity, it now has full control of its own network. An agreement was signed with fiber network solutions provider Geo Networks Ltd (Geo) to deliver connectivity into iomart’s data centers in London, Glasgow, Manchester, Maidenhead, Leicester and Nottingham over the next decade. According to iomart, connectivity
between its London and Glasgow data centres will be “four times faster than the current industry average”.

“We are investing millions of pounds over the next decade to give iomart one of the fastest and most resilient fiber networks of any cloud computing company in the UK,” suggested iomart Group, Mr.Angus MacSween. “Customers on our network will have the fastest connections allowing them to move huge amounts of data at the highest speeds wherever they are located. It allows us to take our network right up to our customers’ doors which is of huge benefit to organizations wanting secure, private cloud environments.”

“This will significantly increase our current capacity and national reach, ensuring that we can provide customers with unlimited bandwidth and greater reliability and security, increasing their capability and potential to grow,” added Mr. MacSween.

“Geo’s business is all about providing dedicated fiber private network solutions to high growth businesses like iomart,” suggested Geo Chief Executive Mr. Chris Smedley. “These high performance networks give our customers scalability, security, speed of deployment and control and are the ideal solution for market-leading cloud computing and hosting businesses. We welcome iomart to our growing customer base and are confident that its customers will be delighted with the services they receive over this new fiber network.”
