Exascale Powers DSM Group’s National Expansion with Multi-Site Rackspace, Backhaul, High-Capacity Wavelengths and IP Transit
Exascale, the UK’s leading independent network infrastructure provider, is pleased to announce a major collaboration with DSM Group, delivering a comprehensive suite of data centre services across the UK’s key connectivity regions.
Under this partnership, Exascale is providing DSM Group with premium rackspace in both London Docklands and Manchester, strategically located to support DSM’s expanding service delivery. In addition to co-location services, Exascale is also supplying:
- Backhaul connectivity between London Docklands and Manchester
- High-capacity wavelength services connecting Manchester to DSM’s Data Centre in Peterborough
- IP Transit services in both London and Manchester
- Circuits across many Exascale off-net Partners; CityFibre, ITS, Sky and Virgin Media
These services form a critical part of DSM Group’s national infrastructure strategy, offering resilient, low-latency, high-throughput networking to underpin its managed services, cloud platforms, and disaster recovery operations across the UK.
Thomas Bibb, CEO of Exascale, said:
We’re thrilled to be supporting DSM Group as they expand their service capabilities across multiple UK sites. By combining our scalable rackspace with national transport and high-performance IP Transit, we’re enabling DSM to operate with resilience, speed, and flexibility. We believe infrastructure should empower innovation and this partnership is a perfect example of that vision in action.
Exascale’s high-capacity wavelength service between Manchester and Peterborough provides DSM with a dedicated, low-latency circuit ideal for real-time applications and secure replication of data across sites. The backhaul between London and Manchester further enhances DSM’s national footprint, while dual-site IP Transit ensures DSM’s services remain highly available and optimised for performance.
Mike Richardson, CEO of DSM Group, commented:
As we expand our reach and diversify our infrastructure, it was critical to find a partner who not only understands the technical demands but also shares our values around reliability and customer service. Exascale delivered exactly what we needed; robust, high-performance connectivity backed by a team we trust. Their ability to deliver on all fronts has made them a key infrastructure partner for our national platform.
This enhances DSM Group’s portfolio of resilient digital infrastructure and managed IT services, including industry-leading colocation at its Peterborough Eco Data Centre, managed cloud platforms, workplace recovery, data backup and DRaaS. With water-cooled racks, on-site solar generation, and a dedicated cooling lake, DSM delivers secure, sustainable, and scalable IT environments for organisations across the UK.
This collaboration underscores Exascale’s role as a trusted partner for national-scale service providers seeking flexible, high-performance network solutions throughout the UK.
