Racks inside the Amstel Business Park data center, TelecityGroup's fourth Amsterdam facility
(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — UK data center operator TelecityGroup (www.telecitygroup.com) announced on Thursday it has acquired a new 9MW, 64,583 square foot data center in Amsterdam.
With its central location, the new facility will be linked to TelecityGroup’s existing four data centers in Amsterdam and become part of the city’s main internet hub.
The data center will open in phases from the end of the fourth quarter in 2011.
“I am very pleased that we have been able to secure this growth capacity in Amsterdam. TelecityGroup has had a strong year in 2010 and together with the builds in London, Frankfurt, Paris and Stockholm, this new data center gives us the opportunity to continue to deliver growth in all of our core markets into the longer-term,” Michael Tobin, chief executive officer of TelecityGroup said in a statement.
“At Group level, Telecity now has 107MW of announced capacity, of which 58MW is operational today. We are bringing this new capacity on-line in phases, in response to customer demand. The phased approach has enabled the Group to manage its capital expenditure profile efficiently and achieve continued expansion in operating margins.”
At the end of November, TelecityGroup’s Powergate data center in London was selected as the primary facility for UK cloud hosting provider Ousourcey (www.outsourcey.co.uk).
