Interxion to Add Colocation Data Center Capacity in Seven Markets Across Europe

European provider of carrier and cloud-neutral colocation data center services, Interxion, has announced new data center expansion projects in seven cities across Europe in response to customer demand.

Interxion has planned to construct its third data center in Madrid (‘MAD3’), add a second data center in Brussels (‘BRU2’), and expand existing colocation data centers in Amsterdam, Paris, Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Vienna. Interxion has also added to its land bank in Amsterdam and exercised its option to acquire the MAD3 property.

“The increased pace of cloud adoption combined with an improving economy in Europe continues to drive broad-based demand for our colocation services across our entire footprint,” said David Ruberg, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Interxion. “With continuing demand from multiple communities of interest, these investments will allow us to meet the needs of our expanding customer base by adding approximately 15,500 square metres of equipped space. When combined with previously announced expansion projects, Interxion now has active expansion projects across its entire 11 country footprint totalling over 33,000 square metres which will increase the Company’s equipped space by over 25% compared to the end of 3Q 2017.”
