Pro-Net re-locates to City Lifeline to enhance connectivity and support business expansion
City Lifeline, the London-based independent carrier-neutral colocation data centre, has announced today that UK internet service provider, Pro-Net, is moving its team and equipment to its facility, located at the heart of the emerging Silicon Roundabout district.
The move allows Pro-Net to widen its networking, carrier and colocation options and offers the company the flexibility to expand and utilise vital technical office space, unavailable at its former base. The team will now operate from City Lifeline, with part of its core network remaining at the Telehouse Docklands facility.
Danial Subhani, managing director at Pro-Net says, “City Lifeline understands our need for a data centre facility from where our team can operate and grow. In our industry it is vital for us to have a reliable data centre delivering strong connectivity from a diverse range of carriers, all of which are now on-hand for us.
“Our new location at City Lifeline is conveniently located near to some of our customers, is perfect for networking opportunities with likeminded businesses in the media, web and software sectors and means we can access our critical equipment fast.”
Roger Keenan, managing director at City Lifeline adds, “We have experience working with businesses like Pro-Net that really recognise the benefits of operating from the rising Silicon Roundabout district and need flexible colocation solutions. We are looking forward to providing them with a data centre operation that suits both their business and customers.”
