Volta Data Centres is differentiating its business by accelerating how its customers across the Cloud uses Epsilon's Infiny 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 Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform, Infiny, to rapidly grow its ability to serve the cloud demands of customers. Infiny 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.
Infiny enables Volta Data Centres to maximise the potential of cloud in its business and capture new opportunities by offering cloud connectivity.
THE CHALLENGE
THE SOLUTION
Infiny 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 Infiny into its portfolio of service offerings from its facility, leveraging the global reach and simple user interface to effectively network the cloud for customers.
Infiny removes the need to build networking teams and gives Data Centre Operators all the tools they need to offer cloud connectivity to customers. From a web-based portal, users can procure network services at the click of a button. Data Centre Operators can offer last mile networks to other data centre facilities as well as direct connectivity to Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, as well as other Cloud Service Providers and global Internet Exchanges.
Volta Data Centres’ customers’ benefits from the guaranteed quality of service (QoS) and experience (QoE) across more than 600 network operators. Its end-to-end performance monitoring means that customers gain new visibility into the network with easy-to-understand graphing and visualisations. Volta Data Centres have developed a world-class cloud offering with the support of a unique and powerful platform.
Infiny removes the barriers to offering cloud connectivity to data centre customers.
