LONDON, July 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Interxion: A
Digital Realty Company and a leading European provider of carrier-
and cloud-neutral colocation data centre solutions, announced today
it is the leading connected data centre provider in EMEA, according
to Cloudscene's H1, 2020 Data Centre Ecosystem Leaderboard, which
ranks data centre operators based on the density of their
facilities, service providers, network fabrics and cloud on-ramps
across North America, EMEA,
Asia and Oceania.
The leadership position in EMEA reflects the strategic value of
Digital Realty's recent combination with Interxion, coupling
density of carrier and cloud network nodes with global reach,
enabling the combined organization to meet growing customer demand
in the EMEA region and extending customer access to new
opportunities globally. Digital Realty's significant momentum
in the Americas reflects the recent acquisition of a majority
interest in the Westin Building Exchange, the sixth most densely
interconnected facility in North
America and the primary interconnection hub for the Pacific
Northwest, linking Canada,
Alaska and Asia along the Pacific Rim.
Enterprises across industries and regions are rapidly
adopting digital transformation strategies, with businesses
expecting to spend $5.9
trillion1 on digital transformation between 2019
and 2022. Delivering on those strategies across geographies,
customers and endpoints is creating a growing connectivity
challenge, however. By 2022, IT leaders expect to serve up to
202 more locations than they do today, and IDC predicts
over 41.6 billion3 connected devices will be in use by
2025.
Interxion has continued to expand across EMEA to help
enterprises simplify these connectivity challenges and advance
their digital transformation strategies, with recent strategic land
acquisitions in Frankfurt and
Paris, along with Cloud House, the
expansion of its highly connected Digital Docklands campus in
London. The consistent
growth of the EMEA footprint represents a significant expansion of
PlatformDIGITALTM, enabling businesses to meet their
global connectivity needs with a single data centre
provider.
"We are empowering customers to deploy high-performance,
low-latency hybrid IT architectures by providing access to more
than 1,600 unique connectivity service providers and hosting
numerous cloud on-ramps on our data centre campuses," said Vincent
in 't Veld, VP Platforms, Interxion: A Digital Realty Company.
"Interxion's top billing in EMEA is an endorsement of our
consistent investment in the growth of connected communities that
create value for our customers."
