BIS and Telstra International Announce Strategic Alliance

LONDON - BIS Ltd, a leading provider of datacentres and global networks today announced that it had completed a new strategic partnership with Telstra International EMEA.

The partnership cements the strong relationship between the companies and demonstrates Telstra’s commitment to BIS and its customers.

“BIS has been delivering MPLS network capacity to their customers in the Far East via Telstra’s Next Generation IP global backbone. As business volume grew, we focused on providing BIS and their customers with a ‘value-add’” said Peter Hase, SVP Global Business Development, Telstra International. He continued, “We’ve provisioned additional, fully redundant interconnects into the BIS’ backbone; effectively, BIS’ customers will receive a 100% SLA from the remote POP all the way back to their London premises.”

“This alliance is an extremely positive step for our customers” said Samantha Keating, Sales Director, BIS Ltd. “Customers demand high availability and working with Telstra, BIS can provide this. Many of our customers have applications that are extremely latency sensitive; both in terms of response times and stability. We ran tests across Telstra’s backbone to destinations in the Far East and were staggered to see that latency varied throughout the month by as little as 2ms - this has huge positive implications for our customers as it mitigates end user dropouts. Combine a fantastic latency with our enhanced SLA, throw in our highly competitive pricing and we expect to see a very positive response from our customers with offices in the Far East.”
