nLighten, a leading digital infrastructure platform and a frontrunner in the European edge data center market, has launched nConnect, its new network service platform. This solution delivers versatile network services across all nConnect enabled nLighten data centers throughout Europe.

Through the nConnect platform businesses can seamlessly connect to data centers, internet, and cloud providers, ensuring high-performance and low-latency access across Europe. Built on a resilient, route-diverse network spanning 12 of nLighten’s 34 edge data center locations, the platform is supported by the latest data center networking architecture.

nConnect provides clients with a range of services, including Cloud Connect, DC Connect, Direct Internet Access (DIA), and IP Transit (IPT), all seamlessly integrating with their presence in nLighten data centers. This ensures effortless connectivity and streamlined network integration, offering clients:

Quick provisioning and flexible bandwidth options

Latest data center networking architecture supporting segmentation, DDoS protection, and advanced analytics

Standardized SLA and pricing model with no long-term contracts

One-stop shop for multiple services, reducing complexity and costs.

Joachim van Collenburg, VP of Product Management at nLighten, highlights the advantages of nConnect: “With nConnect, customers benefit from ultra-fast provisioning, flexible bandwidth options, and the latest data center networking architecture. This is particularly valuable for businesses looking to establish an edge performance hub in a new region or enterprises seeking cost-effective disaster recovery solutions with built-in geo-redundancy.”

nConnect is now available in four of the seven markets where nLighten operates, including:

The Netherlands: Amsterdam (AMS1 and AMS2)

Germany: Frankfurt (FRA1)

France: Paris (PAR2)

United Kingdom: Birmingham (BHX1), Bristol (BRS1), Chester (MAN1), Leeds (LBA1), Liverpool (PLP1), Milton Keynes (LTN1), Nottingham (EMA1), and Swindon (BRS2).

A phased rollout to additional nLighten edge data centers is planned later this year, ensuring low latency and high-performance connectivity across Europe.

Data privacy is a cornerstone of nConnect. The platform delivers a high-performance, resilient network using best-in-class intelligent networking technology. Private Ethernet networks and protected IP services ensure secure and efficient data handling, making nConnect ideal for AI-driven, high-density, and critical environments.

Businesses can take advantage of nConnect services immediately to enhance their connectivity, scalability, and resilience.
