The Company also launched the Interoute Cloud Store, an online application marketplace for businesses and added two new Virtual Data Centres in Paris and Berlin. Interoute VDC enables organisations to create highly dynamic, scalable Cloud services, whilst retaining control over where their applications and data are hosted and stored.
Interoute’s enterprise Unified ICT services also saw strong growth through 2013 with the company using its pan European integrated network and computing platform to enable enterprises to quickly add Connectivity, Computing and Unified Communications solutions, including Voice, Video and Conferencing.
