Eurofiber, Colt partner to address growing demands for connectivity

Colt Technology Services (Colt) and Eurofiber announced a new strategic partnership to expand Colt’s global footprint through Eurofiber’s infrastructure, based on an innovative Hybrid On Net solution.

The Colt and Eurofiber partnership will add new Colt Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs) in Bordeaux, Lille, and Toulouse, as well as expanding Colt’s metro network in The Netherlands and Belgium to support businesses locally and globally. The partnership also leverages commercial and operational collaboration.

Colt’s Hybrid On Net empowers businesses to experience the advantages of a dedicated fiber optic connection without the burdensome expenses and complexities associated with constructing their network infrastructure.

This innovative solution enables Colt to expand its fiber network, operating the passive dark fiber of carefully chosen metro suppliers. As a result, enterprises can access dependable, high-performance, and secure network services across various locations through the dense Eurofiber network, further enhancing Colt’s offerings to its customers.

The new partnership formalizes and expands the relationship between the two companies, which began in 2010. It underlines their ongoing mutual commitment to offering businesses superior digital connectivity, enabling them to seamlessly connect economic and commercial hubs throughout Europe.

“We are delighted to partner with Eurofiber, a leading provider of digital infrastructure with very strong local presence in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and Germany,” said Keri Gilder, CEO of Colt Technology Services. “This partnership aligns with our ongoing commitment to enabling digital transformation and transforming the way the world works through the power of connectivity. Our partnership with Eurofiber in France significantly boosts our ability to deliver exceptional connections through our intelligent Colt IQ Network, providing enterprises with the best network services for the best customer outcomes.”

Eurofiber is driven by an ambitious growth agenda in Western Europe, and we are enthusiastic about the prospects this collaboration presents for our valued customers. By combining Colt’s global network with Eurofiber’s expertise and local presence, we can offer enterprises comprehensive and dynamic digital infrastructure solutions.

Our partnership strengthens both companies’ abilities to support customers with the agility and flexibility they need to thrive in today’s digital economy.”

As the world’s bandwidth demands continue to surge, and with a growing number of enterprises depending on cloud-hosted infrastructure, organisations are progressively seeking diverse connectivity solutions to guarantee dependable and secure access to their data and applications.

Colt and Eurofiber’s collaboration accelerates their shared ambition to lead in enabling digital transformation. By delivering customised connectivity solutions that meet the evolving demands of today’s and tomorrow’s enterprises, this partnership marks a major step forward in delivering the network of the future.
