AMSTERDAM, Sept. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Interxion: A
Digital Realty Company (NYSE: DLR) and a leading European provider
of carrier- and cloud-neutral colocation data centre solutions, has
completed the third phase of the expansion of its landmark data
centre in Amsterdam, the Amsterdam
Data Tower. The expansion provides 2.4 megawatts of
additional capacity across four floors.
The Amsterdam Data Tower is a high-quality, carrier-neutral
facility located within the Amsterdam Science Park at the heart of
the digital economy and is home to an extensive connected data
community of telecom carriers, cable providers and Internet Service
Providers. The tower was officially opened in 2016 and the
recent expansion provides additional runway for customer growth
with the same high levels of network connectivity.
According to Digital Realty's recently published Data Gravity
Index DGx™ – which measures the creation, aggregation and private
exchange of enterprise data across 53 metros –Amsterdam has one of
the highest data gravity intensity scores in the world, driven by
thriving technology and financial services communities. The
expected growth of data gravity intensity will open up new business
opportunities for enterprises in Amsterdam, but will also pose new challenges
in creating, sharing, and turning that data into real business
value.
The expansion of the Amsterdam Data Tower will help provide
capacity to address the challenges posed by data gravity, while the
facility's high levels of connectivity will provide faster, simpler
data exchange with partners and other centres of data, making it
simpler and easier to do business. Amsterdam Data Tower
customers will have access to leading connectivity providers,
Internet Service Providers and large internet exchanges such as
AMS-IX and NL-ix as well as the broader set of service providers
available on PlatformDIGITAL®, Digital Realty's global data centre
platform.
"The digital economy is rapidly reshaping all sectors, both
public and private," said Michel van den
Assem, Managing Director, Interxion Netherlands. "As a
result, enterprises need to adopt a data-centric approach.
Our presence and the expansion of the Amsterdam Data Tower aligns
with the requirements of our customers, both locally and across the
globe. By housing their critical infrastructure with us,
customers benefit from access to a thriving data community with
robust network density and rich interconnectivity to strategic
European and global locations."
