UK Grid brings new London to Manchester connection online
Continuing with its network expansion and resilience project, UK Grid brings online a second link between London and Manchester.
Patrick Doyle, the technical director of UK Grid says:
"This is phase I of a key project to increase the network resilience of UK
Grid. The next phase will see a new network POP being brought online in
Telehouse North which will provide a fully redundant and site independent
network between London and Manchester. With the new London to Manchester
link that has just been brought into service we can now provide direct
connectivity between both cities allowing customers to colocate with UK Grid
in both London and Manchester. An example scenario would be a customer that
colocates in London but would like redundancy for their solution in
Manchester. UK Grid customers colocating in London can use London transit
for Internet traffic, they can also have a separate connection to Manchester
where their redundant equipment would be colocated. We can then also provide
them Manchester transit for their Manchester colocation so there is no
additional latency by pushing transit from one city to the other."
New website launch
Last week we launched our new corporate website with some new product
launches including London colocation, Dedicated Servers and Shared/Managed
Firewall solutions. The website contains our new corporate logo and colour
schemes. We have also included a new service status page to give our
customers up to the minute information on any current issues with our
infrastructure.
