TransTelekom Selects IXcellerate Moscow One Datacentre

Linking Western and Eastern parts of the country TTK's fiber optic lines run along Russia's mainline railways and cover 76,000 kilometers. The move creates an excellent opportunity for Moscow One clients who wish to benefit from transcontinental TTK backbone. The EurasiaHighway, has connections to the communication networks of almost all the neighboring countries, including China, Japan, Mongolia, North Korea, Finland, the Baltic states and the CIS.

"To meet the on-growing demand we are dedicated to bringing the highest level of service by combining it with IXcellerate's world class Tier3+ datacentre. With many clients within the financial sector we hope that the new move will enhance our support for them," commented Alexander Vlasov, Sales Director of TransTelekom.

"Recently we achieved IBM Level3 compliance (equivalent to Tier3), confirming the professionalism with which we build and operate our datacenters and our 20 years' experience in the field. By welcoming TTK to our growing carriers community we hope that our clients can not only benefit from Russia's major operator services but also take advantage of the best that is available in the data centre industry in Russia," added Guy Willner, CEO of IXcellerate.

TTK is a top Russian ISP both in the wholesale and in the retail market. The company focuses on exceeding customer expectations with regard to its services. A survey conducted by ComNews Research in Q3, 2014, revealed that among Russia's top five ISPs, TTK fared best at supporting the declared download speed. "One of the reasons why TTK is able to meet such high quality standards is that the operator relies on state-of-the-art data centres, such as IXcellerate Moscow One, a very efficient and stable hi-tech facility," said Eugene Evdokimenko, head of research at ComNews Research, COMNEWS Group.
