November 22, 2005 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — European data center operator IXEurope (ixeurope.com) announced on Monday it had purchased a 30,000 square-foot site in London, England that it plans to convert into a data center.
The company says the facility, based in Park Royal, West London, will accommodate strong growth in the enterprise market, particularly in the financial services sector. A multi million-pound re-fit has been undertaken to ensure the facility is up to industry standards for security, environmental control and power.
“This acquisition is part of a Europe-wide expansion plan which we are executing over the coming months at IXEurope with the aim of maintaining our industry-record annual year-on-year revenue growth of over 35 percent,” says Guy Willner, CEO of IXEurope. “Having reviewed our business we decided on a plan to ensure the next five years growth for the company based on our significant success rate in providing high-end data center services to enterprise and Web businesses across Europe. This new London IXDatacentre puts us in a commanding position in the market.”
IXEurope’s data center is the first new facility to open in London, which is suffering from a severe lack of available data center space. It is the company’s third London facility and tenth overall.
IXEurope’s data centers are located in UK, Germany, France and Switzerland.
