Six Degrees Group has expanded its UK network capabilities with the acquisition of Datahop, an international datacentre interconnection business with 200 customers. Datahop\u2019s network consists of a resilient, high-speed fibre ring that connects 21 points of presence (PoPs) in London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Paris.<\/p>\n

Six Degrees Group\u2019s expanded network will bring most of London\u2019s datacentres on-net, including Telecity, Telehouse, Interxion, Level 3 and Iomart facilities.\u00a0Datahop\u2019s network brings 16 new PoPs onto the Six Degrees core network as well as extending the Group\u2019s footprint into four Western European countries. Six Degrees Group run-rate revenues are now approximately \u00a344m with EBITDA of over \u00a311m.<\/p>\n

Following the acquisition, Six Degrees Group will be investing in its network by undertaking a multi-million pound upgrade before launching a next generation VPLS-enabled datacentre interconnect fabric that will enable multi-gigabit port capability for distribution of its converged voice, data and hosting portfolio. The Group\u2019s network now connects European and American financial centres with an unrivalled footprint in London carrier-neutral datacentres, and uniquely positions it with the ability to deliver high-speed network interconnects in London.<\/p>\n

Daniel Lowe, managing director of Six Degrees Group\u2019s managed data division, commented: \u201cThis announcement marks a significant step-change in the scale, reach and capability of the Six Degrees Group network. Datahop\u2019s technologies will allow us to deliver higher bandwidth, and a broader range of services to our customers. Our ability to link people, places and clouds has been boosted significantly with the flexible service creation capability we now offer to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n
