Connectivity Services

• IP Transit (static and BGP)
• National Ethernet to any UK office building
• Ethernet circuits to all major Manchester datacentres - including IFL2, Telecity Williams House and Telecity Kilburn House
• Ethernet circuits to all major London datacentres - including Telehouse East, Telehouse North and Telecity Sovereign House
• Long-haul Ethernet to London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Belgium, Paris and Prague

The above services can be provided at all capacities up to 10Gigabit, and bundled 10Gigabit.

By default, all colocation packages include a complementary 100Mbps global IP connection, with a 1000GB monthly data transfer allocation.

LINX, AMSIX and DECIX Connectivity

LINX (the London Internet Exchange) is the most important Internet Exchange Point (IXP) in the UK, and arguably the most important in Europe. GlobalAXS is an approved 'LINX From Anywhere (LFA)' carrier, and is therefore one of only a handful of UK operators permitted to provide backhaul connectivity to LINX from out of London. We are able to provide connectivity to LINX, AMSIX and DECIX at our Manchester datacentre.

Manchester Network

We operate a very extensive high-capacity network within Manchester. Our datacentre benefits from two diversely routed deep-buried fibre ducts, with entry points at two different parts of the building. There is a fully diversely routed dark-fibre ring in operation which connects us to IFL2, Telecity Williams House and Telecity Kilburn House, with active network equipment at each of these sites. This ring is currently operating at 20Gbps and additional capacity can be made available very quickly and easily. This massive capacity allows us to offer extremely cost-effective solutions.

UK National Network

Between the main connectivity hubs in Manchester (ie Telecity Kilburn and Williams) and London (ie Telehouse East and North) we operate multiple 10Gigabit wavelength circuits on two separately routed national paths - one route via Leeds and one via Birmingham. These circuits terminate into different buildings within each city and share no common infrastructure end-to-end whatsoever.

European Network

We operate major European POP sites in Manchester, London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Belgium, Paris and Prague. All POP sites generally consist of at least one Cisco 7600 router are interconnected by our diversely routed 10G wavelength ring. There are at least two 10Gigabit backhaul connections at each site. We are able to accommodate all our connectivity services at each POP - including public and private peering interconnects.

With our approval, colocation customers are permitted to bring third-party communication circuits into their racks within our Manchester facility from any other operator - such as BT, NTL, KCOM, Cable & Wireless etc. A number of these operators already have a network presence within the datacentre - contact us for details.
