into London I data centre
C
yrusOne, a premier global data
centre REIT, has announced it is
expanding its partnership with
Megaport Limited, a global leading
Network-as-a-Service provider, and is
deploying the full suite of Megaport
services at its London I data centre in
Slough, UK.
By delivering access to a global ecosystem
of more than 300 service providers,
including top global cloud services
providers (CSPs), CyrusOne customers
can now enjoy secure, on-demand
connections to leading CSPs directly from
its London facility.
Megaport’s elastic connectivity provides
the flexibility to vary connectivity
requirements based on actual demand.
CyrusOne customers can order new cloud
services, scale and control in real time,
enabling them to deploy a network strategy
in days and pay only for what they need.
All connections are secure and protected,
with automatic fail-over, offering
customers complete freedom over how
they architect their hybrid cloud solutions.
Already available across CyrusOne’s
portfolio of data centre facilities across
the United States, this is the first
collaboration between the two companies
in Europe, with plans to expand the
offering to additional sites across the UK
and Europe.
Peter Hase, Chief Commercial Officer,
Megaport, said the company has a strong
partnership with CyrusOne already and
expanding this into Europe will further
enhance its ability to provide flexible,
reliable and scalable connectivity
solutions together, adding value for
Enterprise customers.
“CyrusOne’s premier London location
gives enterprises a great local option for
building their hybrid, multi-cloud, cloud-
to-cloud and disaster recovery solutions.
Our proven working relationship enables
us to move quickly to meet the escalating
demand in Europe,” he added.
“Given the highly successful partnership
we already have in the US, it was an easy
decision to bring this service to Europe
where we have a rapidly growing portfolio
of enterprise customers.” CyrusOne operates more than 45 data
centre facilities across the United States,
Europe and Asia to provide customers
with the flexibility and scale to match their
specific IT growth needs.

“As more and more enterprise customers
opt for hybrid cloud architectures, they
want the flexibility to scale rapidly and
course correct quickly as their demands
change,” said Tesh Durvasula, President,
Europe, CyrusOne.
The company has sites in process across
London, Frankfurt, Dublin and Amsterdam
for a total prospective European footprint
of more than 500 megawatts. ◊
