Colt to deliver network of the future
Colt Technology Services has committed to a major system-wide
network upgrade that will give its enterprise, carrier and web-centric
customers access to bandwidth levels of up to 100Gbps and enable
businesses of all sizes to future proof their connectivity.
Colt is investing significantly in its core infrastructure to serve
the growing connectivity requirements of the digital enterprise. At a
time when much of the telecom industry is prioritising investments
in consumer driven wireless and content assets, Colt is focused on
enabling critical business connectivity solutions by building out a
multi-terabit optical backbone and next generation packet network
optimised for 100Gbps connectivity.
As the applications and infrastructure that power tomorrow’s
businesses increasingly move into the cloud and the data centre,
the demand for reliable, scalable, and high quality, businessgrade connectivity continues to grow.
To enable this transition, Colt is driving a data centre focused,
distributed network topology, offering direct connections to over
200 key data centres, carrier hotels and cloud aggregation points,
which puts customers closer to the core of their digital business.

MAINCUBES EXPANDS AND MODERNISES
ITS AMSTERDAM DATA CENTRE
Maincubes is completely modernising its data centre in Schiphol,
Amsterdam. The aim is to update the data center with state-of-theart technology within a few weeks, preparing previously unused data
center space for use by customers in need of additional capacity.
The modernisation of the maincubes data center started on 21st
October and is expected to be completed by March 2017.
Prompted by a high demand from local companies and
international corporations alike, in the long run maincubes plans to
make up to 4,500m2 of space available.
Another important part of the modernisation is the consolidation
of the data center space, which will be increased by means of
a greater power density. Maincubes will install the necessary
power supply, cable trays, cooling components and more efficient
technology for the internet connection in accordance with
demands in terms of size and performance.
The latest cooling technology will be utilised to create higher
power density and cut costs, whilst still providing customers with
maximum data performance.
