The diversely routed 1 GB wavelengths will connect Rackspace from IX Europe's (ixeurope.com) London West facility in Heathrow to Telehouse (telehouse.com) in the Docklands. The wavelengths will be provided over AboveNet's new London DWDM network and provisioned across completely separate routes in order to enhance the redundancy, speed and quality of their existing network, the company said. Rackspace will also connect to the AboveNet global IP backbone via Gigabit-Ethernet connectivity.
"Rackspace is focusing on meeting the growing demands of its customer base and as such the stability and performance of our network is crucial when providing a high quality, high performance platform for new and existing business," says Dominic Monkhouse, managing director of Rackspace. "AboveNet's network and technical ability to provide this solution gives us the freedom to concentrate on providing top quality services in this highly competitive managed hosting market." Rackspace said it is increasing its network capacity across the London in order to accommodate its increasing share of the UK managed Web hosting market. "Rackspace's exponential growth over the last year and continued growth set for the future commands a network that can scale with the expansion of its business," says John Dowbiggin, managing director of AboveNet UK. "It gives me great satisfaction that AboveNet is continuing to build on the existing strength of a relationship with a company as well known in the market place as Rackspace."
