Interxion Opens Fifth Amsterdam Data Centre
7,000 m2 data centre now operational -first phase 70% pre-sold
Second phase build-out accelerated
Data centre 100% powered by renewable sources
Interxion, a leading European operator of carrier-neutral data centres, announced today that the first 1,200 m2 of its new 7,000 m2 Amsterdam data centre—its fifth Amsterdam-area centre—is now operational. 70% of the first phase has been pre-sold to online retail, finance, and ICT customers. Growing customer demand has accelerated the construction of an additional 1,100 m2 of equipped space that is scheduled to be completed in May 2009. Interxion now operates 24 data centres in 11 European countries.
The new facility is a totally green energy facility—all power comes from renewable sources such as wind, biomass, or hydro generation, and the centre has been designed using Interxion's energy efficient modular architecture, with free cooling and maximum-efficiency components as standard. The data centre offers 2N UPS power and N+1 cooling as well as advanced alarm and monitoring systems and supports the latest high-density power configurations.
"In Interxion's ten-year history of providing high-level infrastructure in the Amsterdam area, we have never experienced such strong demand for a new facility," said Michel van den Assem, Managing Director, Interxion Netherlands.
"The new data centre has industry-leading energy efficiency credentials, and with two fully-redundant 10 MVA grid connections, it provides exceptionally high power density configuration options. This power availability, combined with a connectivity-rich community, creates an ideal environment for mission-critical and web-enabled applications."
