By investing in diverse fiber duct infrastructure, VIRTUS has enabled service providers to easily interconnect to VIRTUS’ data centers and pull fiber through from existing routes, minimising additional construction works needed. Contact Us Resilient and diverse ‘meet me rooms’ provide space in the data centres where telecommunications companies can physically connect to one another, exchange traffic and easily offer services to VIRTUS’ customer base and ensure customers have the widest choice of connectivity. Download the Connectivity Datasheet LINX (LONDON INTERNET EXCHANGE) VIRTUS LONDON2 has become a Transmission Point of Presence (PoP) for the London Internet Exchange (LINX). As a result VIRTUS customers can now peer on the LINX Juniper and Extreme peering Local Area Networks (LANs), further optimising the award-winning LONDON2 facility. The agreement gives VIRTUS customers the option to peer with the largest networks in Europe, enabling them to create a low latency resilient network. The Transmission PoP will also serve as a reliable alternative site for clients looking for additional diversity on the LINX LAN that are not currently located within LONDON2. As well as this improved latency and resilience, VIRTUS customers who become LINX members will also benefit from improved transit performance and routing control, increased capacity and redundancy at lower cost, with the opportunity to peer with over 670 LINX members from 67 countries worldwide. A Transmission PoP is physically based at a neutral data centre giving customers direct access to LINX infrastructure from within the data centre, thus improving performance of its peering connectivity.

Close enough to both London and other data centre ecosystems to allow for mission critical data replication services, but far enough from both to satisfy physical disaster recovery requirements. All the data centres are located in and around London’s Metro area, providing easy access, unparalleled connectivity and low, submillisecond latency to major Points of Presence (PoPs). With an extensive portfolio of national and international providers and services, VIRTUS’ customers have access to a wide range of connectivity solutions to meet their businessrequirements.
