TelecityGroup Supports Amazon Web Services AWS Direct Connect in Europe

Dedicated network connection to Amazon Web Services (AWS) enables flexible cloud solutions with lower costs, improved performance and increased bandwidth throughput

TelecityGroup, one of Europe's industry-leading providers of premium carrier-neutral data centres, today announced that AWS Direct Connect is now available in its London Docklands data centres.

Located in TelecityGroup’s premium Docklands facilities in London, AWS Direct Connect enables companies to establish a dedicated network connection from their private or managed infrastructure to AWS. By connecting directly into the platform, AWS Direct Connect customers can build flexible cloud solutions with reduced network costs, increased bandwidth throughput, and a more consistent network experience than internet-based connections.

Effective immediately, customers in TelecityGroup’s Sovereign House, Meridian Gate, 6/7 Harbour Exchange and 8/9 Harbour Exchange data centres in London can establish dedicated connections to AWS. Customers with equipment located in other TelecityGroup facilities, or in their own office or data centre, can also enjoy low-latency, cost-efficient connections to AWS via the choice of over 400 carriers available in TelecityGroup data centres.

“With this important expansion of AWS Direct Connect into the UK, we are glad that TelecityGroup customers can now choose to have a dedicated connection to AWS,” said Terry Wise, Director of Business Development for AWS.  “This creates yet another compelling option for businesses to consider when architecting production applications in the cloud.”
 
Adriaan Oosthoek, Country Manager UK & Ireland, TelecityGroup comments: “The launch of AWS Direct Connect in Europe provides new opportunities for our customers, enabling them to build flexible solutions that utilise the elasticity and economic benefits of AWS alongside their existing infrastructure. Our data centres are already thriving digital ecosystems, providing direct access to a wide choice of connectivity options, key internet exchange points and cloud hubs. Working with Amazon Web Services furthers these options for customers substantially, and ensures TelecityGroup continues to be the data centre of choice for organisations looking for the widest possible choice of networks and connectivity options.”
