London -- 25 June, 2004 (HOSTBYTEWIRE) -- TeleCity (LSE: TCY), the leading provider of colocation and data centre services in Europe, today announced that it has been chosen by Fernhart New Media and Boy Meets Girl to provide outsourced data centre and managed services to support both company’s underlying network infrastructure and to fulfil the need for resilient IP.
Fernhart New Media (www.fernhart.com), a digital solutions provider which designs and develops websites for clients such as Sky Interactive and ITV, is migrating its server infrastructure to TeleCity’s facilities in Docklands. TeleCity’s IP Multihome service will ensure resilient connectivity to support their multiple platforms as well as providing 24/7 engineering support and security.
Boy Meets Girl (www.boymeetsgirl.sj.com), one of London’s most exciting creative agencies, selected TeleCity to take advantage of their highly-skilled engineers, redundancy of their IP platform and guaranteed security in the data centre. TeleCity’s IP Multihome service will ensure resilient, secure network services.
TeleCity will supply both new clients with core data centre infrastructure services, a cost effective way to securely house clients’ physical infrastructure, installed complete with resilient power feeds and immediate access to TeleCity’s high number of international and national tier-1 carriers. Once installed, the infrastructure is supported 24/7 by an experienced engineering team. In addition, both clients have signed up to TeleCity’s IP Multihome service. The service allows users of the Internet such as ISPs, web hosters, portals, and other enterprises to host their content on multiple Tier 1 carriers simultaneously, providing superior performance and resilience to hosting on a single carrier network.
“TeleCity continues to build its profile as a leading provider of outsourcing services in the creative and new media sector. The fact that both Fernhart and Boy Meets Girl have migrated their server infrastructure to TeleCity demonstrates that our suite of services continues to impress and convince new customers to partner with us,” commented Ricky Hudson, CEO, TeleCity.
“The reliability and performance of our server infrastructure is crucial for our business,” said Philip Broadbury, Technical Director, Fernhart New Media. “We simply cannot afford to have any downtime. TeleCity’s personalised service, 24/7 response time and highly reliable remote management service ensures that our servers are managed and operated in an environment which we trust.”
Paul Murray, Technical Director, Boy Meets Girl, added: “Being a branding and advertising agency with clients such as Daimler Chrysler, Channel 4 and Disney, our business is totally dependent on the availability and performance of our server infrastructure. Our move to Telecity ensures that this is managed and operated within a highly secure environment guaranteeing peace of mind for us.”
