In addition to network transport, GTT delivers advanced cloud connectivity solutions through direct on-ramps to major public cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.

Founded in 2005 and headquartered in McLean, Virginia, GTT has grown through both organic expansion and strategic acquisitions. Notable transactions include the 2015 acquisition of Hibernia Networks, a subsea cable operator, and the 2018 purchase of Europe’s largest cloud-based network, Interoute. These acquisitions broadened GTT’s global reach and diversified its infrastructure, allowing the company to offer end-to-end managed connectivity solutions on a truly international scale.
