TelecityGroup and the Internet Neutral Exchange Association (INEX) have announced a new partnership, which will result in an INEX point of presence (PoP) opening in TelecityGroup Ireland’s largest data centre in Northwest Business Park, Dublin. The agreement will give INEX a point of presence across all three TelecityGroup Dublin data centres, allowing INEX’s 70 members to directly connect, interconnect and exchange IP traffic.

TelecityGroup Ireland’s Northwest Business Park data centre will be INEX’s sixth Internet Exchange Point in Dublin, all linked by dedicated, resilient dark fibre. This enables TelecityGroup customers to deploy resilient connections to INEX, further reinforcing the redundant nature of TelecityGroup data centres. TelecityGroup’s three Dublin data centres are home to Internet connectivity and cloud providers, attracting customers from the financial, content, gaming and digital media sectors.

Maurice Mortell, VP of Emerging Markets & Country Manager for TelecityGroup Ireland, said: “Internet usage in Ireland is growing exponentially, due in no small part to the role INEX has played in improving the peering and interconnecting environment for network operators and organisations that require high bandwidth.

“Our highly connected carrier-neutral data centres are positioned at the heart of Ireland’s rapidly expanding digital economy so it’s a logical partnership that has demonstrated and continues to demonstrate success within TelecityGroup.”
