Global Gold uses Telecity data centres
Global Gold Network houses all of its web hosting servers within the TeleCity Group of data centres. Telecity is Europe’s leading data centre provider and has over 15 years of specialist expertise in the area of data centre management.
TelecityRedbus is going to pay £33 million for Globix UK and its associated pan-European network. Last November, Telecity bought Redbus Interhouse. Since then, the combined company has been aggressively building its service portfolio and pursuing new markets in the European area.
“We have a leadership position, not only in terms of market share and everything else, but more importantly in the way we drive the industry,” says Mike Tobin, TelecityRedbus CEO. “We are aggressive in terms of where we think the pricing position should be, and what people should be receiving in terms of service levels.”
Through the deal, TelecityRedbus will gain two high-specification data centers, with 40,000 square feet, in central London, as well as:
- - an expanded Internet network infrastructure,
- - a comprehensive portfolio of managed services
- - Globix’s technical and management specialist team.
Global Gold’s Technical Director, Tim Dunton said that “For us this move makes sense, we’re located near these datacentres to ensure we can support our customer base. We’ve also recognised that Telecity is in the business for the long haul and we’ve watched them invest in state of art technology and companies over time, improving the services they deliver. There is no data centre that can match them in the UK especially when you consider on-site ISP and bandwidth availability.”
This acquistion will consolidate Telecity’s position as one of Europe’s most advanced web hosting and managed data center service providers and the Global Gold web hosting network will benefit enormously from it.
