We are excited to reveal that we are planning to upgrade the LINX presence at Lunar Digital in Manchester, transitioning the site from a single homed transmission site to a dual homed, fully resilient point of presence (PoP). https://lnkd.in/e9xvuWie Jennifer Holmes, LINX CEO comments: “Manchester continues to establish itself as a powerhouse digital hub for the North, and the response and demand for LINX services from networks at Lunar Digital has exceeded our expectations.” “We’re thrilled to deepen our collaboration with LINX,” said Robin Garbutt CEO for Lunar Digital. “The upgrade to a full PoP reflects not only the growth of Lunar Digital but the wider demand for robust, high‑performance, low latency connectivity options across the North of England.” #LINXManchester #Connectivity #Colocation #PeeringandMore #LINX #Peering #Manchester #NetworkResilience #LowLatency #ISP #Data
