European law firm Taylor
Wessing is improving it operations with a dedicated high-speed
fibre network from Geo.
The fibre optic network runs between
Taylor Wessing's London offices in the City and its central
London datacentre.
The network is built using
Geo's high-speed fibre network
which runs deep underground
through London's Victorian sewer system.
Taylor Wessing needed an optical fibre network to ease growing
demand on its communications infrastructure. It also wanted to
ensure business resilience by having diverse data and voice traffic
routes.
"As a busy European law firm, we're increasingly producing a
large amount of data as well as transporting it over the internet
and between offices," said Tim Hyman, IT director at Taylor
Wessing.
"The bulk of our communication with clients is also now online,
and we're providing more and more online services to them. We
therefore need a robust, high speed fibre network in order to carry
and manage all that information," he said.
He added: "We also identified that we couldn't run our business
effectively using standard connectivity to the InterXion
datacentres - it could be a potential bottleneck. That's why the
only suitable option was fibre."
