Enter: Enter Fortifies Carrier-Neutral Interconnection Capabilities at Its Caldera Park Data Center in Milan

MIL2 Emerges as Viable Gateway to Italy's Largest Network Hub and Greater
Europe for Asian, Middle Eastern and North African Operators 

MILAN, Italy, 2017-12-11 08:35 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Enter, a leader in network and cloud services based in Italy, today announces
enhanced connectivity capabilities at its Milan Caldera data center campus with
the addition of its neutral interconnection facility, MIL2. 

An expansion of Enter's existing MIL1 data center, MIL2 is purpose-built to
facilitate cost-effective cross-connects to a multitude of carriers and content
providers via its Meet-Me Room. Enter's MIL1 and MIL2 data centers provide a
reliable environment for telco colocation, with redundant power distribution
and a generator that provides the facility with at least five days of backup
power at full load for business continuity. 

Leveraging Enter's expansive backbone and metro dark fiber network, MIL2
customers can access hundreds of networks within the Caldera campus and
seamlessly connect to additional local network providers and remote facilities
in the Milan area.  Additionally, nearby landing points in Bari and Palermo
enable access to submarine cables Southeast Asia-Middle East-Western Europe 5
(SEA-ME-WE 5) and Asia-Africa-Europe (AAE-1) by way of Enter's strategic
provider partnerships. 

"We expanded our neutral interconnection facility to provide customers with
cost-effective, reliable interconnection opportunities. Located in one of
Italy's key connectivity and fiber hubs, our Milan Caldera data centers offer a
strategic and cost-effective alternative to Frankfurt and Marseille," says
Milko Ilari, Head of International Business & Strategy at Enter.  "In addition
to serving as a bridge for operators looking to expand their reach to or within
Western Europe, MIL2 is also designed to accommodate unique project
requirements as well as facilitate mutually beneficial partnerships amongst our
customers." 

Enter's transparent, partner-centric approach is also evident in its recent
Open Compute Project (OCP) hardware deployment for Enter Cloud Suite (ECS) in
MIL2.  The OCP was launched by Facebook and provides an open source design for
servers, racks and data center facilities, lowering vendor lock-in and
increasing community participation in data center.  By adopting OCP, companies
can dramatically reduce CAPEX and OPEX, while driving innovation through the
incremental contribution of the open source community. 

ECS is the first European, OpenStack-based cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service
(IaaS) solution.  With one connection to Enter, small to mid-size communication
service providers can affordably expand their network footprint and reach all
of Europe's leading IXs.  In addition to ECS, Enter also offers Colocation,
Ethernet and internet access services, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), dark
fiber, and data center services at its MIL2 data center.

carrier-neutral interconnection capabilities, email [e-mail] or request a

December 12-13, 2017 in Hong Kong.
