CABLE&WIRELESS WORLDWIDE EXPANDS DATA
HOSTING CAPACITY WITH INFINITY
London, 24 January 2012: Cable&Wireless Worldwide (CWW) today announced that it will expand its data hosting capacity by 25 per cent through a 15-year agreement with specialist data centre operator, Infinity. The multi million pound investment reinforces CWW's commitment to hosting services and illustrates the board's willingness to support core capabilities. This builds on investments already underway to expand the company's existing Tier 3 data centres in Leeds and Swindon.
Based at a secure site in the South East of England, the new
4.3MW Tier III certified facility will become available from
late 2012 and ensures that the company can support the
increasing demands from clients for secure, robust and
reliable hosting and shared services solutions.
Commenting on the development, Gavin Darby, chief executive,
Cable&Wireless Worldwide said, "Data hosting is one of our
critical areas of focus for the near future and will be a
vital part of our return to growth. This announcement
highlights the details of the plans we outlined in November
last year. I believe that we are shaping our business to
better serve our customers and secure our position in this
growing market."
Martin Lynch, CEO at Infinity, added, "Infinity is delighted
to win this important contract which further reinforces our
strong position in the UK data centre market. Infinity's
commitment to quality and attention to operational detail was
essential to CWW in selecting a partner for this most crucial
part of their business. We look forward to developing a
strong long term partnership with CWW in delivering against
their customers demanding needs."
