BIS and Telstra International Announce Strategic Alliance


LONDON, April 27 /PRNewswire/ --     BIS Ltd, a leading provider of datacentres and global networks
today announced that it had completed a new strategic partnership with
Telstra International EMEA.

The partnership cements the strong relationship between the
companies and demonstrates Telstra's commitment to BIS and its customers.

"BIS has been delivering MPLS network capacity to their
customers in the Far East via Telstra's Next Generation IP global backbone.
As business volume grew, we focused on providing BIS and their customers with
a 'value-add'" said Peter Hase, SVP Global Business Development, Telstra
International. He continued, "We've provisioned additional, fully redundant
interconnects into the BIS' backbone; effectively, BIS' customers will
receive a 100% SLA from the remote POP all the way back to their London
premises."

"This alliance is an extremely positive step for our
customers" said Samantha Keating, Sales Director, BIS Ltd. "Customers demand
high availability and working with Telstra, BIS can provide this. Many of our
customers have applications that are extremely latency sensitive; both in
terms of response times and stability. We ran tests across Telstra's backbone
to destinations in the Far East and were staggered to see that latency varied
throughout the month by as little as 2ms - this has huge positive
implications for our customers as it mitigates end user dropouts. Combine a
fantastic latency with our enhanced SLA, throw in our highly competitive
pricing and we expect to see a very positive response from our customers with
offices in the Far East."
