(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — European carrier-neutral data centers operator Interxion (www.interxion.com) has opened its sixth Paris data center. Located at Ivry-sur-Seine, less than four miles southeast of Paris city center, the latest data center, PAR6, brings Interxion’s total gross space in Paris to 27,000 m2 (about 290 600 square feet).
According to its Thursday announcement, Interxion has pre-sold the majority of the 1,400 square meters (about 15,000 square feet) of equipped space at PAR6, and customer implementations are currently underway.
“The successful completion of PAR6 extends the diversity of locations and facilities we can offer in the city still further,” Interxion France managing director Fabrice Coquio said in a statement. “It means that Interxion can offer a large range of tailored colocation solutions to customers, leveraging our unparalleled footprint and experience to satisfy a fast-growing market.”
Using Interxion’s energy-efficient modular architecture, PAR6 was designed with free cooling and maximum-efficiency components. It offers 2N UPS power and N+1 cooling, as well as advanced alarm and monitoring systems and supports the latest high-density power configurations.
With a 4MVA redundant grid connection, high-density-power configurations can be provided to customers as standard. The new data center also provides a connectivity-rich environment, featuring an exceptional range of in-house network service providers, as well as direct access to the PaNAP, FreeIX, PARIX and SFINX Internet exchanges.
Netherlands-based Interxion’s opening of PAR6 brings its total number of operational facilities across Europe to 25 data centers in 11 countries, which have been expanding recently due to an existing revolving credit facility of €135 million (almost $190 million), was met by an additional €45 million ($63 million) subordinated credit facility in June, bringing its expansion financing to €150 million (about $250 million). As part of the expansion, Interxion recently added 400 square meters (more than 4,300 square feet) to its London data center.
It has also been busy making partnerships across Europe, having reached a high-profile agreement last month with International Internet exchange DE-CIX (www.de-cix.net), which moved its Internet exchange infrastructure into Interxion’s newest Frankfurt data center.
In Sweden, it reached an agreement with Scandinavian equity trading platform Burgundy to provide proximity hosting services from its Stockholm data center to provide market participants highly reliable, low-latency access.
