Networking services firm Aryaka has launched a new service point of presence (PoP) in Paris, France, as it expands its Northern European channel.
Aryaka PoPs provide a global private network for business users, with “fast and reliable” cloud and SaaS access from any location in the world.
The company has announced additional channel partners in the region, in combination with the recently launched Aryaka Accelerate Global Partner Program.
Aryaka's European customers, which include Schenck Process, HMS Host, Giti and Delachaux, have demanded better proximity to data centres and high-performance WAN connectivity. The Paris PoP addresses this need, says Aryaka, and underlines its “growing importance in the region as an alternative to legacy telecom operators”.
Steve Harrington, managing director for EMEA at Aryaka, said: “Aryaka’s new EU facility in Paris is a direct result of growing customer and market demand. With this deployment, many European CIOs and IT leaders will be able to make the required leap from MPLS to a multi-cloud environment, reducing total cost of ownership without compromising application performance.”
Several new partners have been signed-up in Europe since the beginning of the year, including system house SMTnet Data Communications from Mössingen in Baden-Württemberg, the virtual network operator mitcaps from Mainz, and the French integration and managed services specialist Rampar from Paris.
The Paris PoP joins over 40 other global Aryaka PoPs in delivering managed services.
