Timico announces £7m investment
Timico, the Newark-based internet service provider (ISP), has said it is investing £7m in a new internet infrastructure project. The construction will include a new data centre and a network operations centre (NOC).
The initial build will cost £5m, and the company has earmarked a further £2m on increasing capacity over the next three years.
Timico said that the facility will be able to offer regional customers a data centre capacity with connectivity to the internet through London and Manchester. The Newark operation will also provide some of the ISP’s existing corporate customers with additional disaster recovery resources outside of the M25.
Trefor Davies, co-founder and chief technology officer at Timico, said: “Our biggest focus is going to be in the private cloud. Whilst we have customers waiting to locate physical equipment in Newark the bulk of the investment is going to be in a virtualised infrastructure. Timico have been offering its customers a virtualised platform for over three years and this will represent a step up in that capability.”
Timico says the NOC will represent a “step up” in its network monitoring capabilities which, together with more details of the virtualisation platform, will be announced later in the year.
