Overview

Resilience starts at the core

Modern organisations rely on always-on services, connected teams and applications performing without interruption.

That all depends on the quality of the network underneath, which is why we’ve built our own.

Our privately managed core network gives us the control to design and deliver services from the ground up, so customers get a more resilient and joined-up experience from day one.

How it works

Our core network connects multiple UK data centre locations through a high-capacity private backbone, creating one connected foundation behind the services we deliver.

By combining different carriers and access methods, we can tailor connectivity site by site, rather than forcing every location into the same model.

Whether supporting a single office, a nationwide estate or a multi-tenant environment, the Core Network provides a platform designed to grow alongside our customers.
