Alamy Establishes DC In Chennai With Netmagic Solutions

Alamy, the online stock photo site, has announced that it has extended its server infrastructure to Netmagic’s co-location centre in Chennai, India. The purpose of the partnership is to make searching for images on the site - across Asia - as fast as possible.

The news follows hot-on-the-heels of the recent datacentre upgrades in the west and east Coasts of America - in New York and Los Angeles respectively.

“Asia presents an exciting market for our brand, and the next logical progression; we’re keen to gain a real foothold. A key part of our service is fast search across all the markets we operate in, so we are delighted to be able to offer this in Asia,” said Richard Taylor, Head of Production at Alamy.

Alamy already has an established back-office and technical team based at Technopark in Trivandrum, India. The team there is playing a key role in developing the company’s global presence.
