Intellicom is to invest €100,000 to expand its hosted telephony and voice termination services.

The deal with partner Continent 8 at its Tier IV-ready data centre at DataPlex in Dublin provides connectivity, co-location, power and cooling facilities for Intellicom’s hosted IP telephony and data services to complement its existing data centre tenancies at Telecity in Dublin and Cork Internet eXchange.

The triangulation of the Continent 8 data centre node to the existing nodes in Dublin and Cork provides Intellicom customers with resilient voice and data connectivity, ensuring continuity of service.

Strong business growth in cloud-based IP voice services, call centre software applications and growing demand for SIP Trunks and voice termination services for existing on-premise telephone systems and Microsoft Lync deployments are behind the investment.

Neil Wisdom, managing director, Intellicom, said: “We chose Continent 8 due to their existing international footprint, the high spec of their data centre facilities and the flexibility of their service offering. In Ireland, their exceptionally-efficient power rating, indirect free air cooling and presentation to over 20 national and international carriers on-site gives us the scope to continue to grow our international business in hosted voice and data services, at commercially competitive rates for our existing customers and new customers into the future.

“We’re also looking at additional nodes in London and one other European metro area and hope to make subsequent announcements within the next 12 months.”

Founded in 2005, Intellicom’s customers include 11850, Europcar, Sentenial, Maynooth Business Campus, Sports Surgery Clinic, Autoline Insurances and Carton House Estates.
