NTT Europe consolidates European footprint amid plans for eastern European expansion

NTT Europe, a wholly owned subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), announced today that it has expanded the reach of the NTT Communications’ Tier 1 Global IP Network in Europe with a new Point of Presence (PoP) in EvoSwitch, Amsterdam, one of the top energy efficient datacentres in Europe.

The new PoP enables ISPs and content networks to gain access to NTT’s high-capacity, Tier 1 backbone network. This move comes as NTT Europe consolidates its presence in Western Europe and expands further into Central and Eastern Europe. With a total of five PoP’s opened within the last 6 months, including Bucharest, Budapest and Sofia, NTT Europe is set for further aggressive expansion in 2012.

Clive Hamilton, Head of Global IP in EMEA, comments, “We are excited to announce the latest Point of Presence in Europe at EvoSwitch in Amsterdam. As one of the biggest internet hubs in Europe alongside both London and Frankfurt, this new PoP is of significant importance to us. It will enable us to support high capacity services for carriers and content providers alike with both IPv4 and IPv6 requirements, all in a carbon neutral environment at EvoSwitch.”

Eric Boonstra, Managing Director of EvoSwitch Netherlands B.V. said of the announcement: “It’s great to be working with a Tier-1 carrier like NTT as we help our customers secure the best connectivity options to the wider web. NTT’s position as the second biggest Tier 1 backbone provider will offer real benefits to both EvoSwitch and our customers.”
