From Cloud to AI: The Growing Need for Dedicated Internet Access Patrick Masterson, MD of Magnet Plus

Magnet+, the leading independent provider of enterprise connectivity, cloud-based voice solutions and managed services, is seeing a significant increase in the uptake of Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) by businesses nationwide at the moment. Magnet+, part of Speed Fibre Group, serves over 7,000 customers across Ireland and Europe, including 70% of the world’s leading tech companies located in Ireland.

The increase in DIA uptake (1G and up) is due to the fact that more and more organisations across Ireland are accelerating investment in cloud-based systems and platforms, real time data and collab tools, AI, cybersecurity and multi-site / hybrid working environments.

To find out more about DIA and its uptake I spoke to Patrick Masterson, MD of Magnet+. Patrick talks to me about his background, what Magnet+ does, DIA, digital transformation and more.
