The lower latency connection will provide the data centre with a significantly reduced diverse leg to any Geo connected data centre enhancing connectivity to LDeX clients. The new route between Telehouse North and LDeX1 now stands at 36km in length compared to the previous 148kms, making it considerably shorter than existing diverse routes typically used to London Docklands and other data centre providers.
Commenting on the news, Rob Garbutt, CEO at LDeX said: ‘We are delighted to have achieved significant reductions in optical distance and latency speeds via Geo Networks. This will enable us to offer the required latency to financial services and media clients based in central London and the docklands area as well as onward connectivity to Slough, Park Royal, Manchester and other parts of the UK.’
“We are pleased to be able to offer a diverse fibre route to and from this site which increases connectivity options to LDeX’s customers,” said Chris Smedley, Chief Executive at Geo.
“Our open-access connectivity model means a full spectrum of carriers and service providers may use the new infrastructure and demonstrates our commitment to provide high performance, optical fibre infrastructure to the business-critical data centre market.“
