Cogent's high performance multi-national Tier 1 network carries over 17% of the
world's Internet traffic. Cogent's investment significantly raises Ireland's
rating as a location for multi-national Internet companies. Servecentric is its
only Irish data centre.
Cogent's cost effective fibre network will
provide Servecentric customers with the ability to have almost limitless
multiple Gigabit expansion opportunities.
Cogent is consistently ranked
as one of the world's top five Internet providers and currently takes its 80 -
200 Gbps backbone network and connects it to over 100 metro markets throughout
North America and Europe. The network connects Servecentric to Manchester and
Servecentric to London, meaning that it is very secure, with no single point of
failure.
Companies that depend on micro-second connections between
end-users and the core Internet applications are a key target for the new
service. These include online trading, gaming, and voice and video over Internet
services, where end-users want to minimise time-wasting network hops. Cogent, as
a tier 1 Internet network ensures best quality and fewest possible hops from
network-to-network.
Among the seventeen carriers connecting to the
Servecentric data centre, Cogent has been selected as one of only three
providers whom any client can access via Servecentric's core internet mesh.
Dave Schaeffer, CEO at Cogent said, "Connecting Dublin was a priority
for us because of all the opportunities to serve large bandwidth customers in
Dublin. We are happy to be working with Servecentric and look forward to
providing the Dublin market with competitive pricing, superior network
performance and a very high level of customer service."
Lori Brown, VP EU
Sales and Product Management, added, "Cogent has found that once our presence is
established in a data center, customers quickly turn to Cogent for our
competitive pricing and quality of service. Customers then experience our award
winning customer service and remain a customer for a long period of
time."
Helga Muir, sales and marketing manager at Servecentric commented,
"Our mutual propositions perfectly compliment each other. We have the existing
client base with the high bandwidth multi-national needs that Cogent seeks.
Similarly, Cogent's low-cost Tier 1 network will provide direct access to many
of the world's largest corporations and internet data centers, makes
Servecentric's proposition more attractive from a cost and quality point of
view.
Ms. Muir added, "Gaming is a great example of the new generation
of services who place a serious value on having a single global network
connected to hundreds of millions of people. With Cogent, we can enable gamers
from Salzburg to Seattle to play in true real-time on a seamless network that
reacts faster than the human reflex."
