Interxion Acquires Land in Madrid for Future Expansion
September 09 2020 - 6:00AM
Business Wire
Interxion, a Digital Realty (NYSE:DLR) company and a leading
European provider of carrier- and cloud-neutral colocation data
centre services, has acquired a 3.6-acre land parcel in a strategic
expansion of its Madrid campus, Spain’s most highly interconnected
data centre campus. The parcel is less than one kilometre from
Interxion’s existing data centres and can support a facility with
up to 34 megawatts of critical IT capacity encompassing more than
35,000 square metres.
Interxion’s Madrid facilities have become the primary hub for
content exchange on the Iberian Peninsula – and in southern Europe
more broadly. Customers who deploy their critical infrastructure
with Interxion in Madrid gain direct access to leading global cloud
providers on campus as well as access to communities of
connectivity providers, platforms and enterprises on six continents
through PlatformDIGITAL™, Digital Realty’s global data centre
platform.
Interxion purchased the 14,550-square metre plot to build its
fourth data centre in Madrid’s technology zone known as Silicon
Alley Madrid, a part of the San Blas-Canillejas district.
Construction of a 34-megawatt data centre would be expected to
generate more than 500 jobs and drive significant economic impact,
boosting GDP between €9 and €12 for every euro invested. The
strategic expansion project underscores Interxion’s confidence in
the region’s future as southern Europe’s digital hub and its
commitment to the development of the digital economy in Spain.
“The recent restrictions on people’s movements have shined a new
light on the role of data centres and the digital economy,” said
Robert Assink, Managing Director of Interxion Spain. “There is now
heightened awareness of the importance of connectivity and access
to the applications that enable us to work, study, consume content
and shop from anywhere. Without data centres, it would not be
possible to connect users and businesses.”
Interxion has been operating in Madrid for two decades, driving
technological development in the region and managing more than half
of Spain’s internet traffic.
