IT infrastructure
The Portsmouth city region ensures that its businesses are always connected to the rest of the world and leads the field in next generation communication development, including the creation of an extensive ICT network and the ‘Virtual London’ project, which provides regional companies with higher speed broadband connectivity.
The Virtual London facility is based in Fareham. Direct fibre links from London to the South Coast pass through Fareham, ensuring local access to high speed resilient backbone links. Key technology centric companies have long taken advantage of the unique access provided by the facility.
The facility has attracted leading service providers, including NewNet established in 1995, and now recognised as one of the leading providers in the UK. They offer a comprehensive range of ISP services including broadband connectivity, server colocation, business continuity, internet security, domain registration and shared web hosting. The facility also boasts high level data-centre services. Customer equipment can be housed in secure buildings with full service resilience including multiple protected power supplies, multiple fibre networks, environmental monitoring and control, automated fire suppression and more.
Virtual London enables local businesses to experience the levels of service, availability and performance that might only otherwise be obtained by working with London based providers.
