GLOBAL VOICE GROUP LAUNCHES DATACENTER|NEX CONNECTING OVER 100 DATACENTERS ACROSS EUROPE WITH ON-DEMAND HIGH-PERFORMANCE NETWORKING

Singapore, 10 December 2008 – Global Voice Group (SGX: H23.SI), Europe’s foremost provider of high-performance networking, today announced the launch of datacenter|nex, an innovative, high-capacity networking platform providing On-Demand Ethernet connectivity between Europe’s major datacenter sites. datacenter|nex was developed explicitly to meet the ever-increasing need for cost effective, mission-critical networking solutions for enterprises, financial institutions, carriers and web2.0 companies throughout Europe.
Designed without compromise, datacenter|nex redefines networking solutions and delivers for customers across multiple fronts.

Unrivaled network reach

datacenter|nex connects the most important datacenters in Europe. The platform is deployed over Global Voice Group’s wholly-owned, billion euro, all-optical infrastructure which combines ‘long-haul’ networks with 15 dense ‘last-mile’ metropolitan networks in 15 of Europe’s leading cities. In one unified platform, datacenter|nex connects over 100 of the leading datacenters in Germany (Frankfurt, Munich, Stuttgart, Düsseldorf, Cologne, Hamburg), France (Paris), the Netherlands (Amsterdam, Schiphol-Rijk, Utrecht, Rotterdam), Ireland (Dublin) and the United Kingdom (London).

100% Carrier Grade Ethernet

Ethernet is the lowest cost, most demanded and most flexible protocol for connecting business. datacenter|nex is 100% carrier grade Layer-2 Ethernet end2end with solutions start at 1Gigabit Ethernet, scalable to 10GigE to any on-net datacenter.

Lowest latency performance across Europe

Network speed is vital to highly demanding applications such as trading, and increasingly essential to a range of new applications such as storage, synchronous replication, media and web2.0. All-optical and all next gen end2end ensures that datacenter|nex delivers the lowest
latency performance - ultra-low milliseconds across Europe, microseconds across metro’s. No other provider is faster.

On-Demand Deployment Redefines Lead-Times

Global Voice Group’s customers demand not only lightning fast networks, but also lightning fast deployments. To meet this challenge, datacenter|nex networks can be deployed on-demand from over 100 datacenters across Europe, all achieved by pre-provisioning multiple-terabits of Ethernet capacity in the field.

Freedom networks

‘Freedom Networks’ delivers un-heard of operational flexibility to Global Voice Group’s customers. Unlike the industry approach of fixed networks, fixed geographies, fixed locations, and fixed terms, Global Voice Group’s Freedom Networks enable our customers to shift their networking solutions to any other on-net site. So as our customers’ needs evolve, their Global Voice Group Ethernet circuit will follow them. Metro customers shift within any of Global Voice Group’s 15 metros, euro customers can connect between any other euro site – all within their existing contracts at no additional recurring costs.

Lowest cost connecting across Europe on Gigabit Ethernet

The combination of Global Voice Group’s wholly-owned optical network and all next-generation platform, delivers the lowest-cost connecting across European datacenters. Unlike any other provider, datacenter|nex customers receive one fixed price, regardless of distance or geography. Combined with Freedom Networking and On-Demand, Global Voice Group customers achieve not only the lowest cost, but the most responsive way to connect across Europe.
“datacenter|nex was built for businesses who’s network is their business,” said Stephan Harren, Solutions Director of Global Voice Group. “Designed without compromise, datacenter|nex delivers the lowest-cost and highest performance in connecting Europe’s leading datacenters – and all provisioned on-demand. Our unique ‘Freedom Networks’ approach means that our customers can shift their network requirements anytime, any place as their requirements dictate delivering both network reach and operational flexibility unmatched by any other operator in the industry.”
