The deal with BT will enable Blacknight to focus on its European and global growth ambitions
Carlow-based web hosting specialist Blacknight has signed a €4m deal with BT that will see it move a large part of its data infrastructure to BT’s data centre in Citywest, Dublin.
The move will enable Blacknight to expand its ability to provide co-location and cloud-based services to customers in Europe and around the world.
Blacknight is an ICANN-accredited domain registrar and hosting company that, as well as servers and co-location, specialises in Microsoft Windows and Linux-based cloud applications.
“This is a significant investment for Blacknight, which will enable us to completely refresh and enhance our data infrastructure and expand our network capacity,” said Michele Neylon, CEO of Blacknight.
BT operates a 183,000 sq ft carrier-neutral data centre in Citywest.
“Blacknight’s multi-year commitment to BT services is a testament to our ability to deliver resilient and reliable data services and connectivity that our clients can trust,” said Peter Evans, director of wholesale and strategy at BT.
