New roll-outs from BT's pipeline

MUMBAI, INDIA: BT has announced a new wave of products and services designed that according to BT,  encourage large organisations to use technology more creatively to deliver stunning business outcomes.

Six months into its global “Art of Connecting” campaign, BT says it brings its newest offers and propositions to a larger number of countries, further extending the reach and depth of its services, and launches new cloud capabilities specifically designed for large enterprises and public sector organisations.

It explained that BT Ethernet Connect will be made available in 15 new countries, bringing the total countries served to 65. Internet Connect Reach is now launched to provide extended internet coverage to supplement the existing Internet Connect Global with lower cost access options and a range of access technologies in more than 190 countries and territories.

Also, eleven new BT Points of Presence are being opened in nine countries to reduce the length of expensive access circuits between points of presence and customer sites.

Via BT Cloud Compute, BT is extending its interconnected cloud enabled data centres to Argentina, South Africa and Japan, it adds in the announcement.
