Kao Data, a specialist developer and operator of high-performance data centres for enterprise, cloud, HPC and AI, has announced it has signed a partnership with Zayo, a leading global communications infrastructure provider, to expand the connectivity solutions at its data centre campus in Harlow.
The partnership will see Zayo deploy two new points-of-presence (PoPs) at Kao Data’s KLON-01 data centre, which will directly enable new multi-Gigabit lit and dark fibre capabilities. The new agreement and network connectivity will also allow enterprise organisations to connect directly from the US to Europe while bypassing London’s busy Internet routes via Zeus – Zayo’s ultra-low-loss, subsea fibre optic cable which runs from the UK to the Netherlands.
As one of the world’s leading carriers, Zayo operates one of the industry’s largest fibre networks and owns a Tier 1 IP backbone spanning 141,000 miles across North America and Europe. Its network provides business and mission-critical connectivity to support the digital economy and its capabilities will further strengthen Kao Data’s mission to provide a suite of world-class connectivity options at its Harlow campus.
Kao Data’s Harlow campus is renowned as the home for some of the UK’s most advanced high-performance computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. Its high-performance infrastructure platform, for example, connects some of the world’s most prestigious research and financial services organisations into Europe and other global destinations.
