Case Study: RETN (European network operator) achieves reliable, low‑latency connectivity to Eastern Europe and Asia with Digital Realty (colocation provider)

RETN Provides Reliable Connectivity to Eastern European and Asian Markets

RETN is an independent European provider of low‑latency IP transit and network services whose backbone spans 36 countries across Europe, Russia and the CIS, reaching to the Chinese border. As demand grew for direct access to fast‑growing markets in Eastern Europe, the Baltics, Russia and the CIS, RETN needed to extend its Western European footprint and simplify interconnection for carriers and enterprises while maintaining fast provisioning, competitive pricing and scalability.

To solve this, RETN has colocated PoPs at 12 Interxion carrier‑neutral data centres across Europe, enabling easy cross‑connects for carriers and enterprises and broader connectivity options. The partnership strengthened RETN’s Western European reach, delivered reliable, lower‑latency access into Eastern markets (and via Kazakhstan to Hong Kong versus subsea routes), and supported faster service delivery and continued network growth.
