Interxion Announces New Data Centres in Frankfurt and Marseille

Interxion have announced this week that in response to continued customer demand, Interxion will construct new data centres in Frankfurt (“FRA15”) and Marseille (“MRS3”).

“Interxion Frankfurt is the leading cloud and connectivity hub in Germany with over 20 cloud deployments from the leading global cloud platforms and 235 network service providers present,” said David Ruberg, Interxion’s Chief Executive Officer. “Similarly, Interxion Marseille already has over 130 network service providers present and is now established as a primary gateway for submarine cable connectivity between Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa with 13 cables currently active and additional cables due to become operational before the end of 2019. Strong demand from global customers is driving our growth in each of Frankfurt and Marseille as they seek to benefit from the highly-developed communities of interest that we have created in these markets.”

In Frankfurt, FRA15 will be constructed in four phases, delivering in aggregate 9,600 square metres (“sqm”) of equipped space and 19 megawatts (“MW”) of customer available power when fully built out.
