Interxion: A Digital Realty Company Takes Top Spot in EMEA on Cloudscene’s Data Centre Ecosystem Leaderboard as Enterprises Accelerate Digital Transformation Strategies
July 2020 by Marc Jacob
Interxion announced it is the connected data centre provider in EMEA, according to Cloudscene’s H1, 2020 Data Centre Ecosystem
Leaderboard, which ranks data centre operators based on the density of their facilities, service
providers, network fabrics and cloud on-?ramps across North America, EMEA, Asia and Oceania.
The leadership position in EMEA reflects the strategic value of Digital Realty’s recent combination
with Interxion, coupling density of carrier and cloud network nodes with global reach, enabling the
combined organization to meet growing customer demand in the EMEA region and extending
customer access to new opportunities globally. Digital Realty’s significant momentum in the
Americas reflects the recent acquisition of a majority interest in the Westin Building Exchange, the
sixth most densely interconnected facility in North America and the primary interconnection hub for
the Pacific Northwest, linking Canada, Alaska and Asia along the Pacific Rim.
Enterprises across industries and regions are rapidly adopting digital transformation strategies, with
businesses expecting to spend $5.9 trillion1 on digital transformation between 2019 and 2022.
Delivering on those strategies across geographies, customers and endpoints is creating a growing
connectivity challenge, however. By 2022, IT leaders expect to serve up to 202 more locations than
they do today, and IDC predicts over 41.6 billion3 connected devices will be in use by 2025.
Interxion has continued to expand across EMEA to help enterprises simplify these connectivity
challenges and advance their digital transformation strategies, with recent strategic land acquisitions
in Frankfurt and Paris, along with Cloud House, the expansion of its highly connected Digital
Docklands campus in London. The consistent growth of the EMEA footprint represents a significant
expansion of PlatformDIGITALTM, enabling businesses to meet their global connectivity needs with a
single data centre provider.
