New Data Centre and a 40Gbps connectivity for BMIT

BMIT, Malta’s leading provider of data centre, cloud and managed IT services, has just announced the completion of two major investments, which are posed to drastically enhance Malta’s offering as a jurisdiction of choice to several industries, including online gaming and financial services operators. These are the opening of a data centre in SmartCity Malta and the launch of a new exclusive and secure private network which will provide BMIT customers with very high speed connectivity and performance to the Internet. 

This one-of-a-kind network links BMIT’s locations in Malta to its newly-launched points of presence in Italy and Germany and provides 40Gbps connectivity to the Internet, via two leading Tier 1 global providers – Level 3 and TeliaSonera.   

Over the years BMIT has also established itself as Malta’s largest and most experienced IT services provider of services to industries who have high dependency on being online all-time, such as iGaming, financial services, communications and similar-type segments – initially as a co-location and hosting services provider and more recently also as a provider of an extensive range of cloud and managed IT services. 

These investments further enhance BMIT’s leadership in the local market in these critical business segments.

New Data Centre in SmartCity

BMIT has just announced that their newest data centre in Malta has now reached its final stages of completion, with all the installed infrastructure currently undergoing rigorous testing prior to launch. Over 150 racks have already been put in place at this new facility located within SmartCity Malta, which is rapidly becoming a business hotspot on the island thanks to the influx of customers setting up shop there. 

This new data centre further consolidates BMIT’s position as the only multi-site data centre provider on the island and opens new options for Malta-based operators wishing to have local geographical redundancy across locations.  BMIT operates the only privately-owned ISO27001-certified datacentres in Malta, therefore guaranteeing additional peace of mind to customers using any of BMIT’s services or facilities. 

New customers will start moving in the new facility in the next few days, with others following soon after, as BMIT is experiencing unprecedented interest in this new data centre.

New network infrastructure

This new network completes a major multi-million investment programme by the Malta-based company, enabling customers to host infrastructure both in Malta and mainland Europe, having now established points of presence in Italy and Germany. The new network and the superior 40Gbps connectivity to the Internet put BMIT and Malta on a completely new level in terms of technology infrastructure and connectivity since BMIT customers can, can now benefit from massive speeds, improved reliability and unparalleled performance when operating out of any BMIT data centre.
