This expansion increases the service’s availability to a total of 27 countries across Europe, Asia, and North America, offering bandwidths of up to 10Gbps to cater to the growing demands of businesses for flexible and automated digital infrastructure solutions as they venture into new markets.

This development is particularly exciting for us at Connected Networks, as it directly aligns with our commitment to providing our clients with top-tier connectivity solutions. The expansion of Colt’s Internet On Demand service not only adds tremendous value to our existing clients by offering enhanced flexibility and scalability across their digital infrastructure but also opens up new avenues for potential clients looking to grow and innovate in an increasingly digital world.

Colt’s introduction of a new, energy-saving virtual router (vRouter) in the UK and France, with plans to roll it out in other countries later this year, is a testament to their dedication to sustainability and innovation. This move towards virtualisation is a game-changer, offering our clients a way to reduce their carbon footprint and achieve their sustainability goals without compromising on efficiency or performance.

The vRouter, located in the cloud, saves on energy and physical space while delivering virtual network functionality on demand, across a fully automated, centralised platform.
