Telehouse, a specialist in high connectivity hosting solutions in Europe, has signed a partnership with the operator Jaguar Network, a B2B subsidiary of the iliad Group, for the development of hosting activities in France in the latter's datacenter in Marseille.

Named "TH1 Marseille", this infrastructure will provide new neutral connectivity solutions to digital players, with the same know-how, the same proximity in support and the same excellence in service that have characterised Telehouse's activity for 30 years.

This agreement echoes the growth of Jaguar Network, of which Telehouse has been one of the historical partners by hosting it in its TH2 Paris datacenter. In return, Jaguar Network is now offering Telehouse a new opportunity to develop its offer on its historic campus in Marseille.

Their common ambition is to contribute to making the city one of the top 5 most connected cities in the world, and to reinforce the Paris / Marseille digital highway, in order to place France at the centre of international data exchanges. Marseille's dynamism is based on its submarine cable network linking Asia/Pacific to Europe with a Marseille/Frankfurt/Amsterdam axis.

In 2023, capacity will increase from 150 terabits to 720 terabits thanks to the 8,000 km Google Blue Raman cable (India, Saudi Arabia and Marseille, avoiding Egypt).

Thanks to Telehouse's historical know-how and Jaguar Network's local presence, customers will be able to benefit from all existing or future fibres.

Since its launch in 2010, France-IX has chosen to host its infrastructure on the TH2 site of Telehouse. The presence of Tier I operators and the reliability of its infrastructure, guaranteeing 99.99% service availability, made this choice an obvious one for France-IX.

Since then, the two companies have been engaged in a trusting collaboration in which the development of the community of members of the exchange and the ecosystem of Telehouse customers feed each other. The France-IX community reached 100 members in the first year of cooperation and 200 in the following two years.

The TH2 connectivity hub recently doubled its connectivity capacity with the aim of carrying more traffic and making Paris one of the most connected cities in the world within five years. This expansion responds to the growing demands of companies to interconnect with their ecosystem, while favouring the localisation of their data in France. It is also in line with France-IX's desire to strengthen the resilience and robustness of its infrastructure in order to offer extensive, natively secure and low-cost connectivity to local and international players, and thus meet the major challenges of competitiveness.

The doubling of France-IX's point of presence at TH2 opens up an additional reserve of available ports for new customers, particularly corporates who are increasingly outsourcing their IT infrastructures. They are thus extending their access to the Cloud and hosting their equipment for a direct connection to the France-IX core network and have the essential infrastructure to connect to their partners (GAFAM, SaaS application publishers and other Cloud content and services).

Paris, May 10, 2021 - France-IX, one of Europe's leading Internet Exchange Points (IXP), is moving into the Marcoussis campus of DATA4, a leading French and European data centre operator and investor, to optimise Internet connectivity for businesses. With this new point of presence, DATA4's customers will be able to interconnect directly to the France-IX exchange node, which, for its part, intends to develop its peering ecosystem.

[...]

"By connecting to an exchange point, companies gain in performance and have the necessary resilience for their critical applications while optimising their costs. France-IX's new point of presence at Marcoussis will allow DATA4's customers to optimize the way they exchange data to promote the hybridization of their platforms to the Cloud within DATA4's infrastructures," said Jérôme Totel, Vice President Strategy, DATA4 Group.

[...]

"Our move to DATA4's Marcoussis campus reflects our desire to address the enterprise segment, which is different from our historical members, as well as to address the demands of some of our existing members. By facilitating access to the Cloud, peering represents an essential vector for them to meet the challenges of digital transformation. This strategic partnership with DATA4 will allow us to pursue our growth strategy in France by expanding our network and our ecosystem," said Franck Simon, President of France IX Services.
