Strategic expansions in London, Paris, Dublin and Amsterdam address
growing demand for bandwidth
BOULDER, Colo. –
Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ZAYO) has announced success-based
expansions of its fibre networks in four European markets, including
London, Paris, Dublin and Amsterdam. Driven by demand from hyperscale,
cloud and data centre providers as well as enterprise customers, these
strategic expansions will deliver fast, high-capacity fibre to key
centers of technology and commerce.
In London, Zayo is building a new fibre route from Hatfield,
Hertfordshire to Stratford, East London, as part of a strategic ring
outside of the city. The new route will support a number of current and
prospective customers with high-performance fibre, providing a new
option for long haul routes from Dublin to Amsterdam and enhanced
diversity for data centre customers in Enfield. The expansion adds to
Zayo’s greater London footprint, which includes unique diverse and
triverse routing options via traditional conduits in footways and
carriageways as well as London’s largest sewer-based fibre network.
In Paris, Zayo is expanding its fibre footprint in La Defense, a major
business district west of the city limits. Zayo currently serves dozens
of customers located there over its high-capacity fibre network. The new
network extensions will expand Zayo’s reach to major office buildings in
the district. La Defence is one of the largest hubs of business and
commerce, including both French businesses and multinationals.
In Dublin, a multinational company has selected Zayo for a fully diverse
dark fibre ring around the metro area. The high-fibre count solution
will significantly improve latency for the customer, with the potential
for follow-on sales to many companies that have a presence in Dublin or
are considering investment and relocation in Ireland. The new routes
complement Zayo’s existing T50 fibre network in Dublin.
In Amsterdam, Zayo is upgrading and expanding its fibre network between
Schiphol-Rijk and the Amsterdam Science Park. The park is among Europe’s
largest centers of science, research and innovation and home to multiple
data centres. The upgrade is driven by a data centre operator based in
the Schiphol-Rijk data centre campus.
“These success-based network expansions will drive greater value for
existing and new customers in Europe, with a focus on carriers and
wireless operators, cloud service providers, technology, financial
services and data-driven enterprises,” said Annette Murphy, managing
director, Zayo Europe. “We continue to focus on leveraging our robust
network, meeting the demand for the highest capacity, lowest latency
fibre routes between key customer locations.”
These metro networks connect with Zayo’s extensive pan-European and
global fibre network, thousands of buildings and data centres, including
Zayo’s nine data centres located throughout Western Europe.
