December 09 2013 - 6:00AM
Business Wire
INTERXION HOLDING NV (NYSE: INXN), a leading European provider
of carrier and cloud neutral colocation data centre services, today
announced that it is constructing its seventh data centre in
Amsterdam (“AMS 7”). AMS 7 will be built in six phases, with the
first four phases providing approximately 4,600 square metres of
equipped space and approximately 8.2 MW of customer available
power. The first four phases are expected to open on the following
schedule:
- Phase 1 (1,000 sqm and 1.5 MW) in the
first quarter of 2014;
- Phase 2 (1,000 sqm and 1.5 MW) in the
third quarter of 2014;
- Phase 3 (1,300 sqm and 2.6 MW) in the
fourth quarter of 2014; and
- Phase 4 (1,300 sqm and 2.6 MW) in the
first quarter of 2015.
David Ruberg, Interxion’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “The
continued demand for carrier-neutral data centre space that
Interxion is experiencing in Amsterdam is largely driven by cloud
service providers looking to serve the developing European cloud
market by utilising the international connectivity present in the
Amsterdam area. AMS7 is being built in response to clearly defined
specific customer demand that has resulted from our focus on
acquiring magnetic applications and then working to develop the
communities of interest around them.”
When all six phases are complete, AMS 7 will deliver
approximately 7,300 square metres of equipped space and more than
13 MW of customer available power. The data centre is secured by a
long-term lease, which has a purchase option. The site is on
Interxion’s Amsterdam campus at Schiphol Rijk, which has access to
the more than 40 carriers and ISPs and the two Internet exchanges
presently on the campus. Utility power supply from the grid has
been secured to support the demands of the fully built-out data
centre.
The capital expenditure associated with the construction of AMS
7 is expected to be approximately €100 million with approximately
€80 million associated with the first four phases. The capital
expenditure in 2013 for this build is included in the Company’s
previously given guidance.
