GTS Telecom announces EUR 600,000 investment into data center and cloud infrastructure

GTS Telecom, provider of infrastructure-based telecommunication solutions in Romania, announced it will be investing over EUR 600,000 into the expansion of its Bucharest data center and dedicated cloud platform.

“Cloud and data center services have been a priority for us this year, and we continue to invest in our ICT service portfolio, in order to provide our business customers a full range of infrastructure solutions,” said Razvan Stoica, managing director of GTS Telecom.

Over the last year, GTS has seen a significant growth in data center and cloud services in Romania, according to an official press release of the company. To support the increased demand for collocation and infrastructure as a service (Iaas), GTS expanded the data centre space by 25 percent and installed a new dedicated cloud platform in Bucharest.

With this investment, GTS plans to considerably reduce implementation time for customers to configure and stand up workloads and give them much faster access to their critical business information.

GTS has been active with cloud services since 2011, offering a complete range of public, hybrid and private cloud, storage and real-time backup solutions.

“GTS’ cloud solutions are enterprise-grade with a focus on flexibility, scalability, security and redundancy in all levels of the infrastructure. The GTS Group is one of the pioneers of this type of technology in the region and we are confident that our local solutions will continue to be the chosen platform for Romanian customers,” said Sebastian Pitei, Presales and Cloud Manager at GTS Telecom.

In November 2013, Deutsche Telekom acquired GTS Central Europe, the group which includes GTS Telecom. The transaction is currently awaiting regulatory approval and both companies will operate independently until the transaction is finalized.

In Romania, GTS Telecom, part of GTS Central Europe, announced revenues of EUR 20 million in 2012. Earnings before taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to EUR 5 million, up 10 percent versus 2011.
