Neos Networks has added two new UK data centres in London and Manchester to its UK-wide fibre network.

The Equinix MA5 data centre in Manchester and Telehouse South (THS) in London Docklands will come on-net with Neos in the coming months. Both data centres will be connected with fibre and 100 Gbps enabled.

Equinix MA5 opened in the spring of 2022, joining the further 11 Equinix data centres that Neos has on-net across its UK estate. THS is in close proximity to Telehouse North and Telehouse North Two, where Neos said it encounters some of its highest demand for connectivity services.

“We continue to invest in our data centre offering, expanding the reach of our network to bring critical, core connectivity to more UK businesses. And these two new locations will be highly significant in complementing the growth of the UK’s two biggest cities,” said Matt Rees, Chief Technology Officer, Neos Networks.

“We see huge demand for high capacity services from the Telehouse sites that we’ve brought on-net to date, providing reliable, resilient and secure connectivity to help power the UK’s financial services industry in London’s Canary Wharf. And with Manchester at the heart of the UK’s digital tech scene, ensuring the availability of scalable, reliable connectivity is essential for digital services innovation and establishing the UK’s technology leadership. We know just how important the right connectivity solutions are to fostering environments where UK businesses can thrive.”
