Over 120 vendor neutral data centres in European and Asia are to be connected via Colt’s advanced data centre interconnection solution DCNet.
The company said the provision will also offer service providers and businesses with direct access to more than 560 Colt and third party data centres globally.
Initially focusing in Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Paris and Zurich, the DCNet was designed to enable provisioning of 100Mbps and up to 10Gbps connections.
Colt said that in these main locations, wholesale and enterprise customers are able to activate services in five working days.
Zhongmin Guo, VP of Strategy and Business Development for Network Services at Colt, said: "DCNet provides service providers and enterprises with flexibility and simplicity: the ability to choose from a vast network of data centres to best meet the business requirements while also being able to rapidly and cost-effectively connect to the ecosystem of business partners and easily upgrade bandwidth or switch routes as required."
The first phase of the project will add 48 European data centres to DCNet’s current 75 sites in Asia, and it is expected to be completed by the end of June.
