(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — In response to growing demand, European carrier-neutral data center operator Interxion (www.interxion.com) has announced the completion of its latest London data center expansion, expanding its equipped space by a more than 4,300 square feet (400 square meters).
Quickly following its 13,500 square foot (1,250 square meter) expansion completed in 2008, the new space has access to a 13-megawatt redundant power supply and 2N configuration cooling infrastructure, as well as the most advanced alarm and monitoring systems, according to Interxion’s Thursday announcement.
Located down the street from Liverpool Street station in central London, the Interxion data center expansion solidifies Interxion’s position as the only carrier-neutral data center operator within the City of London with the ability to accommodate increased customer requirements for high-power-density configurations. It offers exceptional connectivity, with in-house access to 28 carriers and network service providers, and a Point of Presence for world-class Internet exchange point London Internet Exchange (www.linx.net).
“This is the natural next step in our sustained response to the high levels of demand we are experiencing in the UK,” Interxion UK managing director Greg McCulloch said in a statement. “Customers will benefit from the central city location, low latency, high levels of security, a robust power supply and a wide range of connectivity options, including direct-peering opportunities with LINX.”
The new area was also designed using Interxion’s energy-efficient modular architecture, which features free cooling and maximum-efficiency components.
This significant project is part of the Netherlands-based company’s build-out of its data center footprint across the 11 countries in which it operates. With an existing revolving credit facility of €135 million (almost $190 million), Interxion was given an additional € 45 million ($63 million) subordinated credit facility last month, bringing its financing for expansion to €150 million (about $250 million).
