In today’s cloud-driven world, data centres aren’t just about space, power, or cooling. They are all about connectivity, which is the foundation of online business.

This is where carrier‑neutral colocation becomes vital. At IP House London, connectivity is at the heart of everything we do, and we are fully equipped to meet the needs of companies and organisations. 

What Does Carrier-Neutral Mean?

In a nutshell, being carrier-neutral means you’re not locked into a single internet provider. IP House offers access to multiple Tier 1 and regional carriers, cloud on-ramps, and internet exchanges. Therefore, you have the freedom to choose the most reliable and efficient links bespoke to your needs

“IP House is a carrier-neutral data centre, providing a wide range of network connectivity options. This allows businesses to choose the network provider that best suits their requirements in terms of performance, latency, and redundancy.”

Why does Carrier Choice matter?

Performance, resilience, and cost optimisation all rely on having multiple carriers at your disposal. Latency-sensitive services like live streams or collaborative platforms perform best with diverse routes. Plus, pricing flexibility becomes possible when carriers compete for your business.

“Interconnections allow for low latency and a high-performance network, as well as access to multiple providers. This provides more redundancy, scalability, and flexibility.”

Peering, Private Interconnects & Cloud On-Ramps

IP House supports a growing interconnection ecosystem:

• Peering: Direct, efficient network routes for faster performance
  
  
• Private Interconnects: Secure, high-bandwidth point-to-point links inside the same facility
  
  
• Cloud On‑Ramps: Dedicated low-latency links to AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud for hybrid deployments

This colocation ecosystem enables online platforms to deliver consistently fast, secure, and reliable user experiences.

“Connectivity: Our dedicated network is connected directly to some of the UK’s biggest internet ecosystems, Telehouse and Equinix. We actively participate in Internet Exchanges throughout the UK and have the capability to reach Data Centres in the US and Europe.”

Cross‑Connects: The Backbone of Reliable Delivery

A cross‑connect is a simple but powerful physical link between your equipment and your carriers or partners within the data centre. These links are essential for secure, low-latency delivery. This applies whether it's connecting a backup provider or a financial exchange.

“Our colocation services are trusted by clients across fintech, media, and digital platforms who rely on uninterrupted connectivity.”
