New Telco SA\u2019s carrier neutral Midrand data centre has been selected by Internet service and premier fibre provider, XDSL<\/a><\/strong>, as a Point of Presence on their rapidly expanding network.<\/p>\n

The data centre provides XDSL with the ideal platform to further extend their reach into the rapidly booming Midrand area, while enabling them to interconnect with multiple network operators and other service providers.<\/p>\n

\u201cMidrand is a fast-growing economic hub, with an increasing demand for fibre, data and Internet services,\u201d says Eckart Zollner, Head of Business Development at New Telco SA.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough our Midrand data centre, XDSL will be able to effectively and efficiently reach a multitude of capacity hungry customers, offering Layer 2 services and \u2013 as our datacentre is carrier neutral \u2013 a portal to a variety of Layer 3 and other services.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andre Bam, Chief Technical Officer at XDSL, says, \u201cThe location of this data centre is critical for us, as it enables us to cost effectively reach deeper into the Midrand market, without needing to lay kilometres of fibre.”<\/p>\n

“This means we can keep our costs and our prices down while extending our network. We already have several customers terminating into this PoP, with rapid growth expected over the next two months,\u201d says Bam.<\/p>\n

It is not only about location, though, adds Zollner. \u201cWe are strategically positioning New Telco SA as a neutral data centre vendor for service providers to not only reach new markets, but also to bolster their own networks and service offerings.”<\/p>\n

“By providing an exchange point whereby service providers can interconnect, they can leverage off of each other\u2019s networks and services, as well as the larger carrier\u2019s networks and services, adding resiliency and redundancy on to their own networks,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

Zollner goes on to explain that the neutrality of the data centre means that service providers such as XDSL are able to open the door to seamlessly access new services to add to their portfolios, as well as new customers and markets on a countrywide, and even global, scale.<\/p>\n

Bam adds that, over and above location and neutrality, the quality of the data centre is also an attractive feature, explaining that the high standards of access control, air conditioning, power supply and overall care for detail have all contributed to XDSL\u2019s choice of New Telco as a partner for their network growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew Telco SA are efficient and easy to deal with, making their data centre the natural choice for our break out to Midrand locales.<\/p>\n

We look forward to a long, prosperous and mutually beneficial partnership with New Telco SA for years to come,\u201d concludes Bam.<\/p>\n
