New Delhi, (IANS) : Global Cloud Xchange (GCX), a subsidiary of Reliance Communications (RCOM), on Wednesday announced a new partnership with data centre provider Sovereign Business Integration Group (Sovereign) to offer enterprises global connectivity via a direct interconnection between Sovereigns Tier III standard data centre facility in North London and the GCX Global Network.

Enterprises looking to globalise their offerings can now co-locate and host their business-critical IT infrastructure smoothly, fast and securely at Sovereign’s ISO 27001-certified facility and benefit from simplified access to the GCX connectivity, Cloud and managed network services, a company statement said here.

“With enterprises increasingly migrating critical applications into Cloud ecosystems, they are able to reap the benefits of a more cost-effective and flexible IT infrastructure. Add to this real-time access to top-end data centre facilities and high-performance, high-capacity connectivity into those platforms, and this becomes business-critical,” said Bryce Jewell, Managing Director, UK, Global Cloud Xchange.

“With the hybrid model readily being accepted as a key enabler to digital transformation, enterprises are increasingly seeking to address poor connectivity to a variety of Cloud platforms, sourcing alternative solutions that offer more consistent and reliable performance than the public Internet,” said Joanna Sedley-Burke, Managing Director at Sovereign.
