“By adding maincubes to our network, we are basically fulfilling two types of demand. Firstly, from the enterprises within maincubes that need a high level of security and performance from their connectivity, and, secondly, from our network service provider partners that see a great opportunity in offering their networking and IT services in a recently opened datacenter from a major datacenter brand.”
