Interoute finalist at WCA awards
Interoute selected for the final round of the WCA Best regional operator category
London, 24 September 2009 - Interoute, owner operator of Europe's largest next-generation network, has been shortlisted as a finalist in the prestigious World Communications Awards. The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony in London on 25th November 2009.
Interoute's business has gone from strength to strength over the last 5 years, largely driven by the increase in international enterprise customers attracted to its innovative solutions and low cost base. Between 2007 and 2008 despite the economic climate the company grew 32%.
The Pan European operator recently won the award for innovation in the International Service Delivery category at the Global Telecoms Business Awards, held in central London on 16 June 2009, for its "Ground to Cloud" service delivery platform. Interoute's Ground to the Cloud proposition enables international companies to have as much or as little control as they need to support their business. At the infrastructure end of the scale customers have the capability to take basic fibre services and add their own management layer or buy fully managed services including Interoute's monitoring and reporting tools. For those enterprises looking to a trusted partner to take on the management of their critical IT infrastructure Interoute's cloud approach to services removes the complexity of building, managing and changing their infrastructure.
Interoute is a market leader in the development of platform based services, from its unified connectivity platform for corporate WAN outsourcing and award winning SIP communication services to its recent enterprise cloud computing initiative. Interoute's cloud is one of the most sophisticated and scalable corporate service delivery platforms in Europe. It sits upon 57,000 kms of lit fibre spread across 90 cities in 24 countries and is supported by 59 data centres, making up Europe's largest next generation network.
