"We are delighted to include these Equinix (http://www.eu.equinix.com) points of presence on to our growing Metro network in London," commented Mark Ryder, London Sales Director at Geo, "These connections complement Geo's existing London colocation facilities, bringing the total connected datacentres on our growing London network to nineteen."
"Working with Equinix will allow Geo (http://www.geo-uk.net/about.html) customers to experience high-performance, highly secure technical environments as well as access to a wide range of cost effective network services; allowing them to focus on their core business," added Russell Poole, UK General Manager at Equinix.
