Business Wire
INTERXION HOLDING N.V. (NYSE:INXN), a leading European provider
of carrier-neutral colocation data centre services, today announced
the construction of its second data centre in Stockholm (“STO 2”)
and expansions to its Frankfurt 6 data centre (“FRA 6.3”) and
Copenhagen 1 data centre (“CPH1”). These builds are part of the
company’s disciplined expansion approach to meet customer demand
across its pan-European footprint.
In Scandinavia:
- Interxion is constructing its second
data centre in Stockholm (STO 2) in two phases, each providing 500
square metres of equipped space. The first 500 square metre phase
is scheduled to be operational in the second quarter of 2013 and
Interxion has secured 2MW of customer available power to support
the first phase.
- Interxion is expanding its CPH 1 data
centre to meet the needs of the Danish market. The remotely
tethered expansion will provide 300 square metres of equipped space
and is scheduled to be operational in the second quarter of
2013.
The capital expenditures associated with STO 2 and CPH 1 will
total approximately €17 million.
“As a leader in the Scandinavian market, Interxion is expanding
its capacity to meet the needs of the marketplace,” said David
Ruberg, Interxion’s Chief Executive Officer. “Interxion has seen
strong growth in the Stockholm market, primarily driven by our
communities of interest. We have expanded our Stockholm data centre
twice in the past 18 months and continue to see strong demand in
Stockholm. STO 2 will provide critical equipped space to meet our
customers’ expansion requirements.”
In Frankfurt:
- Interxion is expanding its FRA 6 data
centre by 600 square metres of equipped space and will access
existing customer power, with additional power available for a
subsequent power expansion. FRA 6.3 is scheduled to be operational
in the first quarter of 2013. Capital expenditures associated with
FRA 6.3 are approximately €5 million.
“Demand for Interxion’s Frankfurt campus,
the best-connected data center campus in Europe, remains
strong,” continued Ruberg. “Fill rates for Frankfurt 7 have met our
expectations and FRA 6.3 will provide additional equipped space to
meet the demands we see in the marketplace.”
Interxion is also providing updates on the status of its
previously announced construction projects:
- AMS 5.4 (Amsterdam): 1,000 square
metres were opened in Q4 2012.
- ZUR 1.3 (Zurich): 600 square metres
were opened in Q4 2012.
- LON 2 (London): The final 400 square
metres were opened in Q1 2013.
- MAD 2 (Madrid): 200 square metres were
opened in 4Q 2012 due to customer demand for early opening. The
remaining 600 square metres are scheduled to open in 1Q 2013.
- PAR 7 (Paris): The remaining 2,500
square metres are scheduled to open by the end of Q1 2013.
