IXEurope Celebrates Signing Its 400th Customer - M&C Saatchi - 2005-12-15
IXEurope, Europe’s largest independent and fastest growing datacentre specialist, today announced its 400th customer win by signing a business continuity solution to major advertising agency M&C Saatchi, famous for its British Airways and Financial Times adverts worldwide.
Lee Waller Joint Managing Partner of ISDN Media comments: “Digital asset management is a key responsibility of marketing companies in today’s internet environment. M&C Saatchi is holding literally billions of pounds of trademark and copyright content on behalf of their global customer base. IXEurope was selected to become part of M&C Saatchi‘s business continuity solution because of its industry leading highly resilient datacentre facilities and access to competitive, redundant networks. Together with the professional manner in which the datacentres are run, the excellent technical back-up and strong customer focus, it was felt that IXEurope was the obvious choice.”
The solution will be provided to M&C Saatchi by media solutions specialist ISDN Media and leveraging the unparalleled multi-carrier connectivity available within IXEurope’s London IXDatacentres. The partnership supports ISDN Media’s plans to help M&C Saatchi to deliver a fully outsourced data replication plan for its 51 global sites. Eventually, this will lead to a full load balanced business continuity solution.
With more than 400 businesses from IXEurope’s recurring customer base now relying on its datacentres to house the datacentre element of their IT systems, the company has evolved into the industry's leading service provider. It has seen significant adoption of its services across many market segments, in particular financial services, large internet businesses and high-technology corporates.
"I want to thank all of our customers who have made this significant milestone possible for IXEurope,” said Michael Winterson, VP of International Sales and Marketing. “We are delighted M&C Saatchi and ISDN Media have chosen IXEurope and that we are able to celebrate this milestone with them. The achievement reaffirms our leading position in the European datacentre market and demonstrates the benefits of partnering with IXEurope – enabling companies to cost-effectively and seamlessly migrate to an IXDatacentre with a minimum of inconvenience to their operation and business. As a company focused on providing high-end datacentre services we are always seeking quality rather than quantity in adding to our customer base and this latest contract fully reflects this philosophy."
Founded in 1999, IXEurope provides datacentre services, hosting infrastructure and business continuity solutions to customers in the enterprise, communications and technology markets. Customers outsource the datacentre element of their IT systems to increase resilience, optimise performance, achieve availability objectives and reduce corporate risk – more cost effectively than doing it in-house. The company has become the fastest growing European provider of datacentre services and now has datacentre facilities in seven cities in four countries across Europe.
