Zayo Group, an international long distance provider has announced an extension of its European long haul network offering to provide customers 1G, 10G and 100G waves to Dublin, Ireland, as well as three new cities in the UK, including Manchester, Birmingham and Bristol. The expansion which will extend Zayo's reach of the product range including wavelengths, Ethernet and IP will enable Zayo to provide multiple connectivity options from Dublin directly to other parts of the UK. Zayo will also link the Irish city to other key European connectivity hubs such as Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Paris, as well as enable connectivity to its extensive U.S. backbone via diverse trans-Atlantic links.
The expansion to Dublin will allow Zayo and its customers access to a growing concentration of data centre operators and content providers with operations in Ireland. Interxion Dublin is the first of these sites to be brought on-net through this expansion, with the opportunity to expand network reach to other facilities.
Alastair Kane, European vice president at Zayo Group
Continuing to expand and strengthen our European platform has been a key focus for Zayo. Expanding our services into Ireland allows us to support customers and connect to a growing content, hosting and data centre market. The ability to provide 100G capability across the network is as important as expanding our reach. Not only do organizations require connectivity to diverse sites around the UK and Ireland, but also higher bandwidth in order to accommodate current and future requirements. We will continue to increase access for our customers to Zayo’s high capacity services.
