London as a Global Connectivity Hub

Global ConnectivityWhen deploying a service online, you want it to have truly global reach. As the world becomes ever more connected, and business becomes more borderless, having unrestricted access to the worlds internet users is a must.

The best way to ensure your services enjoy unimpeded international transit is to house them in a data centre located in a major communications and trading hub. Any city with a global stock exchange market will normally have world-class connectivity and enterprise-level data facilities, because of the demands banks place on such sites in trading day to day.

London is one of, if not the most connected cities in the world, thanks to its trading hub and its proximity to mainland Europe. It has direct links to the East Coast of the USA, and to every other continent on Earth. It is also home to some of the worlds largest data centre operators, including Telecity, Equinix and Interxion. The is no doubt that London has become the worlds premier location for data deployment. With Netwise Hosting’s Southern facility in South London enjoying connectivity straight into the London Internet Exchange (LINX / HEX), global connectivity is met at the highest of standards.

We are part of a next-generation high capacity 40/100GigE network, connecting our data centres directly to over 40 UK data centres, with access to over 250 UK service providers and carriers. Netwise Hosting enjoy Layer 2 and Layer 3 IP transit services to over 600 cities globally, notable including low-latency links to the United States. By strategically partnering with British Telecom through our connectivity suppliers, we peer freely with each other for the best global routing possible.

Every single service that we provide, from dedicated servers and online backup right through to server colocation, is connected to our global network, and has unrestricted access to the world at large. Your deployment is only as strong as its weakest link. Don’t let that link be poor connectivity. House your mission critical infrastructure in London.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

The entire team here at Netwise Hosting would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. This has been an incredibly exciting year for us, with the completion of our new private data centre (Netwise Hosting South), and the ongoing development of our services. We are very much looking forwards to a fantastic 2012, one we hope to share with as many people and businesses as possible.

In May this coming year we will be exhibiting at the Great British Business Show, with a stand right in the middle of the exhibition floor. We welcome visitors to come and meet with us, it would be fantastic to see you and explain a little more about who we are and what we do. More information about our attendance will be made available in the coming months.

We are also going to be altering our dedicated server offerings, providing clients with more powerful servers than ever before.

Heres to the future, we hope you are as excited as we are!

Netwise Hosting South Overview Video Available Now

With the launch of our new private data centre facility here in London a glowing success, we thought it best you take a look at our facility for yourself.

As a smaller, much more boutique provider of hosted environments out of Europe’s leading communications hub, the Netwise Hosting data centre brings together years of experience in the hosting industry, culminating in a facility combining both enterprise-level utilities and personable, transparent business practices – a refreshing approach in an otherwise stale industry.

A Quick Update from The New Facility

By the end of next week (Friday 1st July) the primary build work will be complete, meaning the facility is almost ready for the second phase of development. The remodelling of the internal structure has been a long-winded affair, but is now coming together as expected – and on time. The extensive soundproofing and data centre shell construction will be in place within the next few days, meaning the facility is tantalisingly close to occupancy.

The next phase will consist of running all of our new technology services into the building, including power, communications, fire and security. This will be followed closely by the installation of hardware at the new site, alongside the completion of our new office space. This highly bespoke colocation facility is becoming a very exciting place to see develop; day by day getting more and more impressive. We expect our demanding colocation customers to be overwhelmed with just how well suited this new site is to their needs. We hope to have some photographs up in due course.

We will be holding our first facility tours soon, so ensure you check back for details – or book on our website now.

Gearing Up for Launch of the New Facility

Group HouseAs many of our closest stakeholders and clients will already know, Netwise Hosting have been designing and building a new data centre facility in London. This comes as a direct response to our ever increasing client base, and our growing demands of what we now require from a facility. As always our dedication to this project has remained unfettered, with the lengthy time scales a true illustration of our commitment to producing a world-class data centre.

The good news is that work is almost complete at the new site, and equipment will soon be entering the new building. Our final launch proposal documentation is in its final stages, making this a very exciting time for all of the team here at Netwise Hosting. We are hoping for an impressive launch, and would love for our customers to be a part of the ongoing success. Tours of the new facility can be booked through the website directly. (Please bear in mind that images currently available on the ‘Our Data Centre’ page are temporary photographs taken of our current facility, and will be changed for professional shots of the new facility soon).

The new facility – situated just a few miles from our current location – offers users a truely bespoke private London data centre, bringing together our mantra of “Speed, Security, Stability” at levels of uncompromised value.

Colocation services are becoming a far larger part of our business, with our new facility lending itself perfectly to those searching for a colocator in line with their exacting requirements. Colocation in London is becoming an expensive luxury for many businesses. We hope to push against the grain, and allow businesses to reinstate the hub of their technological requirements within the financial capital of the world – without breaking the bank.

As we get ever closer to the launch date (which is as yet unconfirmed – this will be solidified soon), we will publish more comprehensive technical information for your digestion.

 

Naturally, if you are interested in obtaining more detailed information regarding our move, please do not hesitate to contact us directly. We are more than happy to help. Enquiries about colocating with us in the future are also very welcome, and can be disussed with us in detail.

In the mean time, we are still offering our enterprise-level dedicated server packages and our ever popular online backup solutions.
