Nov 24, 2008 : Interxion Opens Amsterdam Facility

📅 November 24, 2008 - Data center operator Interxion (interxion.com) announced on Monday that the first 3,937 square feet of its new 22,966 square foot Amsterdam data center is now operational. This is the company's fifth Amsterdam-area data center.


In October, custom fiber-optic network developer Geo announced it connected its network to Interxion's expanded London data center.

The company has already pre-sold 70 percent of the first phase of the data center to online retail, finance and ICT customers.

After experiencing significant customer demand the company decided to accelerate the construction of an additional 36,089 square feet of equipped space that is set to be completed in May 2009.

The green energy facility uses renewable sources such as wind, biomass, or hydro generation. The facility has been designed using Interxion's energy efficient modular architecture, with free cooling and maximum-efficiency components as standard.

The data center 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," says Michel van den Assem, managing director of Interxion Netherlands. "The new data center 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."

Schiphol-Rijk, The Netherlands-headquartered Interxion operates 24 carrier-neutral data centers located in 13 cities across 11 European countries.
