DUBLIN, IRELAND — (Marketwired) — 05/20/13 — Sea Fibre Networks (SFN), owner and operator of Europe-s most advanced sub-sea telecoms network, today announced the launch of the METRO2C Alliance. Founded by SFN, the METRO2C Alliance is the collaboration of Europe-s leading connectivity providers, data centre operators and Internet exchanges providing best-in-class communication solutions connecting Ireland, the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands and Germany.
Carriers and large enterprises alike often manage multiple, complex service level agreements (SLAs) to deliver mission critical business applications including cloud computing, on demand services and management of Big Data. The METRO2C Alliance reduces the associated complexity and risk by consolidating selected service providers that have a dense fibre footprint and wide product choice under one, industry leading SLA. The METRO2C Alliance is carrier-neutral facilitating collaboration amongst members, providing customers with premier high capacity connectivity solutions matching bespoke requirements such as diverse routing, low latency, scalability and modern technology with very competitive cost efficiencies.
Members of the METRO2C Alliance include:
Acting as massive data highways linking continents, submarine networks are critical infrastructures operators and services providers rely on to run their global businesses including Internet and data communications. The METRO2C Alliance unites terrestrial and submarine networks through pre-negotiated framework agreements, creating time and cost efficiencies. Demand for data centre services is rising by 12.1% with an increased focus on diverse, high capacity connectivity to meet the needs of high tech clients. The METRO2C Alliance syncs connectivity providers, servicing cross border and cross-continent markets, to Data Centres and Exchanges supporting organisations with the ability to tap into new markets or seamlessly link existing ones.
