Dec, 2010 : Interxion Expands its Second Dublin Data Center
📅 - The expansion of the facility is in response to consistently rising demand from colocation customers.
Interxion, a provider of carrier-neutral colocation data center services, yesterday announced the expansion of its recently opened Dublin 2 data center. The company mentions that the expansion of the facility is in response to consistently rising demand from colocation customers, in particular customers in the fast-growing digital media, carrier and cloud service sectors. Including the investment made to build and equip the new data center, this latest expansion brings its total investment in the new facility to EUR 13 million in the last 18 months.
It states that the new phase of the company's data center will provide an additional 900m2 of net space, increasing its overall capacity to 1,700m2 of equipped space. The project also includes the delivery of an additional 1200kW of high-density power to the site, helping meet the growing need for energy-efficient, high-power-density infrastructure, a key requirement for the latest virtualized servers. Work has already started on the expansion and is scheduled to be completed by Q1 2011.
The company further states that its data center offers redundancy, reliability and standards-based operation, with 2N UPS power and N+1 cooling, as well as advanced alarm and monitoring systems. The new space has been designed using its energy-efficient modular architecture, with free cooling and maximum-efficiency components as standard. Power monitoring and management systems also enable customers to monitor their power usage, streamlining their operations to optimize Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). The company recently achieved the highly regarded BS 25999, the British Standards Institution (BSI) standard for Business Continuity Management. This has been integrated with its existing Information Security Management System certification, ISO 27001.
"The demand we are experiencing for premium, energy-efficient colocation space is driven to a great extent by the innovative and fast-growing digital media, cloud service and carrier sectors," said Tanya Duncan, Managing Director, Interxion Ireland. "We plan to continue to enhance our facilities and build on our standards to support and grow these and other customer communities, offering them the best possible environment for managing and developing their mission-critical applications."
