Vanco Plc offers corporate solutions in Interxion data centres
London EC1, 03 January 2005…Interxion, the largest and leading provider of carrier-neutral data centre and managed services in Europe, today announced that Vanco, the leading global Virtual Network Operator, has further expanded its relationship with Interxion, to offer its corporate Managed Network Solutions hosted in Interxion’s London data centre.
With operations in 230 countries and territories around the world, Vanco handles the design, implementation, security and management of global corporate data networks for a broad spectrum of enterprise customers including IBM/Lloyds TSB, Avis Europe, Virgin Retail, Ford Motor Company, Pilkington, RMC Group, Smith & Nephew and Siemens. Vanco offers its customers the greatest geographic coverage available through a single provider, single Service Level Agreements, and solutions flexibility delivered by advanced technologies including managed MPLS over multiple infrastructures.
To enhance its corporate offering, Vanco has established presence and is utilising value added services in seven data centres built and managed by Interxion. Offering the greatest choice of network providers in its data centres combined with the high quality of services and reliability, Interxion was a logical choice for Vanco to support its increasingly diverse and innovative corporate solutions.
“One of the corner stones to our proposition is that we operate in a virtual environment, where we are not tied to a single carrier or physical geography. Teaming up with Interxion is a win/win partnership, as its Pan-European footprint and aggregation of the largest global networks enables us to develop the required critical mass with one company," said John Locke, Director of Technical Analysis, Vanco. “Interxion has proven to be a reliable partner, that delivers the best technical, most resilient and cost-effective solutions,” he adds.
“Our relationship with Vanco demonstrates our ability and commitment to deliver high quality services that support increasingly advanced corporate solutions. Being the first choice for enterprise customers requires continuous focus on customer services, quality and responsiveness to their needs,” comments Anthony Foy, Group Managing Director, Interxion.
“We benefit from Interxion’s flexible approach to building customised solutions rather than trying to sell out of the box. Interxion’s ability to listen to our needs and deliver can be set as an industry benchmark. This in turn contributes to our ability to be flexible and responsive to the needs of our customers – a critical measure for success,” concludes John Locke.
