Zzoomm is currently in discussions about a potential merger with Freedom Fibre, in a deal that would create a new company worth around £500m.
Proximity Data Centres is joining forces with VMO2 Business to deliver dark fibre and optical high-capacity services across its nine facilities.
Currently, 50% of Proximity’s network of edge facilities include VM Business Wholesale connectivity options, with the Nottingham Edge 1 data centre being the most recently upgraded.
Diego Tedesco, Wholesale Fixed Director at VMO2 Business, added: “We are focused on leveraging our nationwide fibre network to connect next-generation digital infrastructure, and ultimately drive better outcomes for the UK.
“Together with Proximity Data Centres we can offer high capacity, low-latency solutions that will meet the demands of a range of businesses, giving them greater choice in a rapidly evolving market.”
Proximity expects to be running a total of 20 sites within the next 12 to 18 months, providing nationwide coverage and reaching 95% of the UK population.
