Singapore’s Leading Web Hosting Provider to Leverage Equinix Services to Increase Service Standards
Move to Equinix Hub Expected to Increase Service Levels and Save Swiftroute 30% on Networking Costs
Singapore, Singapore, January 17, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the leading provider of network-neutral data centres and Internet exchange services, today announced that Swiftroute, a fast growing managed hosting services provider in Singapore, will move their server infrastructure to Equinix's Singapore Internet Business Exchange™ (IBX®) centre.
Swiftroute Pte. Ltd. offers a range of managed hosting services from server colocation to email and Web hosting. As Singapore’s premier outsourced dedicated servers hosting provider, Swiftroute caters specifically to the small and medium enterprises with its 24/7 support.
By locating within Equinix’s Singapore IBX, Swiftroute will benefit from the aggregation of networks operating in the centre, as well as the industry-leading security, environmental and physical infrastructure of the IBX. Within this central Internet hub, Swiftroute will be able to offer its customers direct access to a large pool of network providers and thus provide a more reliable network infrastructure with the cost reductions of directly connecting to network partners within the same facility.
The enhanced physical infrastructure at Equinix will enable Swiftroute to offer customers a stable and secure platform, as well as a heightened protection level for their critical applications. Equinix’s strong track record of uptime will also help to bolster Swiftroute’s uptime guarantee of 99.8%.
“Due to the increasing needs of our customers and rising bandwidth costs, Swiftroute needed a colocation partner with high availability bandwidth options and scalable infrastructure,” said Mr. Glenn Lee, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Swiftroute Pte. Ltd. “At Equinix’s Singapore IBX centre, Swiftroute can take advantage of a network-rich environment, thereby increasing the flexibility and reliability in the delivery of our managed hosting services to customers, while reducing networking costs by approximately 30 percent.”
“Equinix’s unique network-rich, high-security environment, combined with the company’s commitment to customer satisfaction, helps hosting companies like Swiftroute meet their customers’ increasing expectations,” said Mr. Lee Yoong Kin, Managing Director of Equinix Singapore. “As the managed hosting industry evolves with more demands for advanced platforms and applications, Swiftroute is well positioned to present its customers, as well as existing Equinix Singapore IBX customers, with a world-class quality data centre offering powered by Equinix.”
