AMSTERDAM, Sept. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Interxion: A
Digital Realty Company (NYSE: DLR) and a leading European provider
of carrier- and cloud-neutral colocation data centre solutions, has
acquired Altus IT, the leading carrier-neutral data centre provider
in Croatia, offering a gateway for
interconnection and peering with a number of prominent service
providers in southeast Europe.
Altus IT's highly connected data centre, which has recently
added the network nodes of leading global cloud service providers
to its footprint, boasts access to a portfolio of more than 100
customers, approximately 50 connectivity providers – including five
tier-one carriers – and two main internet exchanges, establishing
it as one of the most interconnected communities within the
region.
The company – located in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia – bolsters Digital Realty's access to
a global footprint of more than 700 connectivity providers in over
280 data centres across 22 countries. Digital Realty's ongoing
expansion demonstrates its continued investment in
PlatformDIGITAL™, the company's global data centre platform
supporting customers around the world as they navigate digital
transformation strategies and the complexities of rapidly growing
demand, the need for global coverage and additional
capacity.
"Altus IT's business strategy is closely aligned with our
connectivity-centric and customer-focused approach," said
David Ruberg, Chief Executive, EMEA.
"Southeast Europe offers
significant economic potential, and the acquisition of Altus IT
represents an important step and our first gateway into that
market. With the addition of Altus IT, we will be even better
positioned to help new and existing customers continue to scale
communities of interest," added Mr. Ruberg.
Altus IT's experienced team will remain with the business,
including current CEO Goran Đoreski, who will assume the position
of Managing Director, Croatia. "We are delighted to enable a
global presence for our customers in Croatia and to bring additional value by
enhancing the availability and quality of our services," said Mr.
Đoreski. "This is a huge milestone, and we are excited to join the
Digital Realty platform and open new opportunities for accelerated
growth with our customers and partners."
Altus IT is the leading carrier-independent data centre provider
in Croatia and offers a wide
variety of support solutions that allow organisations to enhance
their business, IT and cloud strategies. Altus IT serves as a
connectivity hub, connecting telecoms, customers and partners,
