LONDON, June 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Verne
Global, a developer of energy efficient data centres, has turned to
Level 3 Communications, Inc. (NYSE: LVLT) to implement an Internet
Protocol (IP)-driven Point-of-Presence (PoP) in Iceland. The collaboration will help meet
demand from Verne Global's customers to connect to more than 40 new
countries accessible through direct connectivity to Level 3's
global network.
Verne Global, with its carrier-neutral campus located in
Iceland, is committed to offer
customers connectivity on a worldwide scale. Level 3 served
customers with Content Delivery Network (CDN) services via
Reykjavik, but did not have an
existing IP-driven PoP connecting to its global network in
Iceland – leading both companies
to explore how to connect the Level 3 infrastructure into Verne
Global's data centre campus.
Once the connection of the Level 3 network into Verne Global's
Iceland data centre campus is
complete, Verne Global's customers will be able to access Level 3's
global network and extensive portfolio of IP, Virtual Private
Network, CDN, cloud and collaboration solutions.
Customers will also have multiple secure ways to connect to
their international sites, selecting the cloud and data centre
services that best fit their desired networking requirements.
Because Verne Global's connectivity will now be scalable with
increased resiliency and decreased latency, customers will have
access to a high-availability network solution able to run
mission-critical applications both locally and globally.
Andrew Crouch, regional
president, EMEA and GAM Division, Level 3, said: "Enterprises are
increasingly dependent on global connectivity to support their
growth objectives, and having the right infrastructure in place to
support this can make a significant difference to organisations'
bottom line. We work with companies such as Verne Global to provide
not only the global network infrastructure and solutions that
businesses are demanding, but also an excellent customer
experience."
Dominic Ward, vice president of
Corporate Development at Verne Global, said: "Iceland is an ideal location for businesses to
house their data, as it is the central point for a wide variety of
key locations. Working with Level 3 will ensure that our customers
have even more international access with increased global
connectivity, allowing them to expand their presence in territories
they may not have even considered until now."
