NTT Communications expands to Eastern Europe
NTT Europe consolidates European footprint amid plans for eastern European expansion. Part of NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), extended its Tier 1 Global IP Network in Europe with a new Point of Presence (PoP) in EvoSwitch, Amsterdam, one of the top energy efficient data centres in Europe.
The new PoP enables ISPs and content networks to gain access to NTT Com's high-capacity, Tier 1 backbone network. This move comes as NTT Europe consolidates its presence in Western Europe and expands further into Central and Eastern Europe. With a total of five PoP's opened within the last 6 months, including Bucharest, Budapest and Sofia, NTT Europe is set for further aggressive expansion in 2012.
Clive Hamilton, Head of Global IP in EMEA, comments, "We are excited to announce the latest Point of Presence in Europe at EvoSwitch in Amsterdam. As one of the biggest Internet hubs in Europe alongside both London and Frankfurt, this new PoP is of significant importance to us. It will enable us to support high capacity services for carriers and content providers alike with both IPv4 and IPv6 requirements, all in a carbon neutral environment at EvoSwitch."
Eric Boonstra, Managing Director of EvoSwitch Netherlands B.V. said of the announcement: "It's great to be working with a Tier 1 carrier like NTT Com as we help our customers secure the best connectivity options to the wider web. NTT Com's position as the second biggest Tier 1 backbone provider will offer real benefits to both EvoSwitch and our customers."
