ITS and euNetworks partner to provide UK enterprises with direct connectivity to Europe’s most strategically important data centres

euNetworks

ITS and euNetworks have joined forces to enhance connectivity for businesses across the UK and Europe.

 

The partnership between ITS and euNetworks, a European provider of critical bandwidth infrastructure, brings together ITS’s dedicated, business-grade full fibre network – already reaching more than 25% of the UK’s commercial premises and passing a third of data centres – with euNetworks’ extensive footprint of 582+ connected data centres across Europe.

Together, the two companies deliver high-speed, low-latency links connecting business premises, data centres, and the cloud.

The collaboration enables UK enterprises to benefit from new, premium-grade, high-bandwidth connections, with the two organisations providing connectivity up to 10Gbps from any point on the ITS network to any location across euNetworks’  European footprint. Enterprises gain direct, secure links to IT workloads and multiple cloud environments, with guaranteed resilience, assured connectivity, and data sovereignty.

The combined footprint unlocks access to the most strategically important data centres across the UK and Europe

For ITS’s 500+ channel partners, the agreement provides access to integrated point-to-point or point-to-multipoint services. Offered through a single contract, they will benefit from streamlined ordering, consolidated billing, end-to-end delivery, and in-life service management.

“UK businesses are demanding faster, more resilient ways to connect to their critical applications and data,” said Daren Baythorpe, Chief Executive Officer at ITS.

“By linking our full fibre leased line services with euNetworks’ reach, we’re giving enterprises and partners the ability to scale, innovate and stay secure, without complexity. This collaboration is about delivering the performance and simplicity customers need to thrive in a cloud-first, data-driven world.”

Marisa Trisolino, CEO at euNetworks, said: “As a European provider of critical bandwidth infrastructure, euNetworks is proud to be able to extend the value of our expansive data centre footprint to ITS’s customers and partners as part of this collaboration.”

“Our joint focus on automation and streamlined operations makes it even easier for UK enterprises to benefit from our combined reach, allowing us to quickly and proactively address the ever-increasing demand for scalable, secure, AI-ready connectivity.”

What it means for customers

Businesses can now take advantage of dedicated, high-performance connectivity that supports their mission-critical applications and cloud-based services, offering:

  • Direct, private links from customer sites to key UK and European data centres
  • Onward links to Cloud Hyperscalers
  • Low latency and high reliability
  • Enhanced security and assured data transfer from a private, fully managed network
  • End-to-end service management – from ordering through to assurance, a single order and in-life service journey
