Virgin Media Business has said that IT Professional Services Newcastle (ITPS) is using Virgin Media Business’ data centre backhaul proposition to give its customers fast, resilient access to its data centre services.
Virgin Media Business has a nationwide fibre optic network in the UK, carrying 35% of all business broadband traffic.
The company said that the £500,000 upgrade, delivering carrier grade speeds of up to 10 Gigabits-per-second (Gbps) connects ITPS’ three data centres in Gateshead, Newcastle and Sunderland.
ITPS works with private and public sector organisations. With customers based across the UK and Europe, using multiple data centres, connectivity and reliability are crucial for the company.
ITPS managing director Garry Sheriff said by ramping up the network, customers will have faster, more resilient access to what they need, in real-time.
"As businesses have to process, store and access more data than ever before, we’re under increasing pressure to support this growth. A resilient backhaul network is absolutely critical for the delivery of cloud based services and High Availability Solutions, crucial to the realisation of ours and our customers’ success," Sheriff said.
ITPS has been working with Virgin Media Business for a decade.
Head of business markets for Virgin Media Business in the North East Alan Worthing said, "We’ve been working hand in hand with ITPS for more than a decade now and it’s great to help them continue to evolve with technology solutions that support the challenges facing their customers."
