Telstra Global has signed an agreement with GTS, a CEE-based telco solutions and data centre services provider, to help increase Telstra’s footprint across the region.
At the moment, GTS offers 27 Points of Presence (PoPs) in Central and Eastern Europe including cities such as Prague, Warsaw, Bucharest, Bratislava and Budapest – which will be leveraged by Telstra to enhance its existing IPVPN service coverage, it says.
“When you combine our new Central and Eastern European sites with the PoPs we recently added in Western Europe – including Frankfurt, Paris and Amsterdam –Telstra is now well placed to help European organisations gain greater competitive advantage in their local operations and connect with growth opportunities in the Asian market too,” says Bernadette Noujaim Baldwin, Telstra Global's Head of Connectivity and Platforms Portfolio.
“GTS’ network has best-in-class performance and coverage across Central and Eastern Europe. Our metropolitan footprint provides connectivity to over 26,000 enterprise office buildings and data centres across five countries: Poland, Czech, Hungary, Slovakia and Romania. Partnering with Telstra will combine the reach and capabilities of two global leaders in delivering solutions to both wholesale and multinational customers,” says GTS’VP of International Services, Bruce Garrison.
