Colt IQ Network in Helsinki

Europe’s leading business provider Colt is spreading its wings and flying like an eagle through Europe and across the oceans. Following the expansion of the Marseille point of presence as a gateway to Africa, Asia and the Middle East, Colt has now also expanded its IQ Network to Helsinki. Companies in Austria now benefit from secure, fast and reliable connections to Finland. According to the 2016 Data Center Risk Index, it is one of the five most attractive data center locations in the world! This is thanks to the low electricity costs and the cold climate. Operating and cooling costs can thus be significantly reduced. The expansion of the IQ Network offers customers connections of up to 10 Tbit/s between Helsinki and Stockholm. In addition, a 100 Gbit/s fiber optic line connects Finland and Germany. German companies with locations in Finland now have access to the entire Colt IQ Network, to which more than 700 data centers and over 24,500 buildings are connected worldwide. The Colt IQ Network includes connections linking the countries of Europe with important centers in Asia such as Tokyo, Osaka, Hong Kong and Singapore. Ideal conditions for Austrian companies that need future-proof bandwidth capacities! Süleyman Karaman, CEO of Colt Germany, says: “Finland is an attractive location for investments in data centers. Connectivity providers, data center operators and enterprise customers benefit from the ideal local conditions. Colt is investing 500 million euros in the expansion of the Colt IQ Network over the next three years. This will create faster and more flexible connections for our customers, offer better service level agreements and take into account the strategic importance of Finland as a hub between Europe and Asia.” Together with the new PoP in Marseille and the expansion of the city networks in Asia, Colt is creating perfect solutions for international companies with high bandwidth requirements.
