Next Generation Data (NGD) has become one of the first data centres outside London to go live with the new BT Wholesale Optical and Optical Connect National service which delivers 10Gb, nx10Gb and 100Gb Ethernet symmetric point to point connectivity.
This follows a surge in cloud-based services at NGD which in turn is creating growth in network traffic.
With a direct connection to NGD's data centre BT's high performance optical solutions will support demand.
Nick Razey, CEO at Next Generation Data, said: "Our data centre is relied on by a rapidly increasing number of enterprise cloud users and service providers which makes the availability of high speed, highly resilient and secure network services a top priority."
Three years ago NGD was selected as BT's first data centre PoP as part of its 21CN Next Generation Ethernet Infrastructure.
