Interxion, a leading European operator of carrier-neutral data centres, today announced the completion of a 1,500 m² expansion of its Madrid Data Centre. Due to sustained demand from customers in the enterprise, Internet and public sectors, 60% of the high-specification, connectivity-rich space has already been sold.

The new data centre space has minimum N+1 power and cooling and 2N UPS, as well as the most advanced security, alarm and monitoring systems. It supports the latest high-density power configurations and has been designed using Interxion’s energy-efficient modular architecture, with free cooling and maximum-efficiency components and management as standard.

The opening of the new facility coincides with the implementation of a new Point of Presence in the data centre for Espanix, the leading Spanish Internet Exchange. Interxion’s Madrid customers will be able to reduce latency and transit costs significantly by peering directly across the Espanix exchange. In addition to Espanix, Interxion Madrid customers have direct access to more than 30 carriers and network service providers within the data centre.

"The completion of this project increases our capacity to satisfy increasing market demand and pass on economies of scale at a time when enterprises are rationalizing investments in expensive in-house data centre infrastructure and looking for best-in-class outsourced solutions," said Robert Assink, Managing Director Interxion Spain.
