Inflow announces new jobs for Dublin
Thursday, March 29 2001
by Rory Kelleher


Inflow, a US-based Internet data company, has announced it is to create 36 new
jobs at a new European service centre in Dublin.



"Inflow has committed to using Dublin as a hub for its European expansion
following IDA approval for the centre," said Joe O'Keeffe, managing director at
Inflow Ireland.

The company also officially opened its USD12 million data centre in Dublin that
will be used to service both US clients in Europe and new European clients.

"We aim to have the data centre cash flow positive within 12 months and it is a
realistic target," O'Toole said.

"We set up the data in Europe in response to demand from our existing clients
who wanted to expand into Europe," he said.

Inflow's first new customers here include KPN-Qwest, the global internet backbone
company; ISIS the Tullamore-based Web hosting company; and Emedia, an Irish
Web development and B2B company.

O'Toole said KPN-Qwest will use the data centre as its infrastructural hub for
Europe, and he said it was "a significant win for Inflow."

Inflow provides three layers of infrastructure and services. The company provides
co-location facilities and other basic services, managed network services, and
other solution such as firewalls and storage.

He said the difference between Inflow and its competitors is that it guarantees
100 percent connectivity to customers as well as high levels of technical support
to its clients.

Each client company is connected to the Internet by Inflow with two different
lines. Their traffic is routed through a 3.2GB line which flows through three
different ISPs and three different local loops to guarantee a reliable service
with no outages to customers.

O'Toole said the company was the second biggest, in terms of numbers of Internet
data centres in the world and has over 450 clients.

He said Dublin was chosen after a study of a variety of European locations.

"Ireland was considered the prime location given the fibre infrastructure,
Internet availability, highly trained labour pool and the growing community of
e-commerce business," O'Toole said.
