Interxion Completes Latest Expansion of London City Data Centre
LONDON, 16th July 2009 – Interxion, a leading European operator of carrier-neutral data centres, today announced the completion of its latest London City data centre expansion. In response to growing demand for the company’s infrastructure and services, and following swiftly on from a 1,250 m² build-out completed in 2008, the amount of equipped space has now been expanded by a further 400 m².
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. It has been designed using Interxion’s energy-efficient modular architecture, with free cooling and maximum-efficiency components as standard. The move consolidates Interxion’s position as the only carrier-neutral data centre operator within the City of London with the ability to accommodate increased customer requirements for high-power-density configurations. The Interxion data centre, located just 10 minutes walk from Liverpool Street station, also offers exceptional connectivity, with in-house access to 28 carriers and network service providers, and a Point of Presence for the London Internet Exchange (LINX).
“This is the natural next step in our sustained response to the high levels of demand we are experiencing in the UK,” explained Greg McCulloch, Managing Director of Interxion UK.
“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.”
