Volta Data Centres is differentiating its business by accelerating how its customers across the Cloud uses Epsilon's CloudLX platform

UK-based Volta Data Centres and Epsilon are connecting data centre customers to world-leading cloud providers with a seamless cloud connectivity platform. As enterprise cloud adoption continues to grow, data centre customers are looking for service providers that deliver both network and data centre infrastructure.

Managed Service Providers and Enterprises want simple solutions that enable them to rapidly roll out cloud services within their organisations or product portfolios with as few vendor relationships as possible. This has created an opportunity for Data Centre Operators to expand their service capabilities with new network services that have been specifically designed to serve the cloud.

Rather than building out a networking team internally, Volta Data Centres selected Epsilon’s Cloud Link eXchange (CloudLX) cloud connectivity platform to rapidly grow its ability to serve the cloud demands of customers. CloudLX gives Volta Data Centres a complete platform for networking the cloud and supporting the needs of customers beyond its London-based facilities. It supports customer growth while differentiating Volta Data Centres’ offering.

CloudLX enables Volta Data Centres to maximise the potential of cloud in its business and capture new opportunities by offering cloud connectivity.

THE CHALLENGE

Adding network services to a data centre operation can be complex and resource-intensive. Data Centre Operators are challenged to move out of their traditional areas of expertise and develop an entirely new business segment.
It requires an upfront investment and hiring new skills into the business. This can make it difficult to deliver network services in the near-term with no guarantees around success.
The challenges associated with networking the cloud can discourage Data Centre Operators from tapping into the opportunity in cloud connectivity. Network services can differentiate a Data Centre Operators’ offering while creating new customer stickiness and long-term relationships.
Volta Data Centres recognised the opportunity in offering cloud connectivity to its customers and looked for an efficient way to connect them to global Cloud Service Providers. It was determined to grow its relationships with customers while rapidly delivering critical cloud infrastructure.
Volta Data Centres needed a solution that could help them to serve customers in new ways while increasing its profitability in the near and long-term.

THE SOLUTION

CloudLX enables Data Centre Operators to rapidly enter the networking market and connect their customers to global Cloud Service Providers with on-demand Ethernet. Volta Data Centres have been able to integrate CloudLX into its portfolio of service offerings from its facility, leveraging the global reach and simple user interface to effectively network the cloud for customers.
