Extract:
What distinguishes IXEurope from its competitors?
The first difference is that IXEurope is passionate about what it does and provides high specification facilities designed for corporate clients, backed up by aggressive SLAs.
The bottom line is that the provision of data centre solutions is IXEurope's core business, so it is essential that we do it right!
Are there technical differences between IXEurope's offering and that of the competition?
No, in the same way that there are no fundamental technical differences between a Lada and a Mercedes.
The important factor is how the data centre is operated once it is up and running - although our facilities are definitely more at the Mercedes end, the design and construction of facilities is not the most complex part of the puzzle.
There are many issues relating to management and control in a highly populated data centre, including power supply and environment, that affect the quality of the service offered.
You mentioned the IXLAN monthly sub-service - is this aimed at small and medium enterprise (SME) customers?
No, IXEurope does not have any significant traction in the SME sector. The only exceptions are small enterprises that are 100% technology based - such as software developers or ASPs.
The typical customer for IXEurope would be a large bank, city law firm, industrial or pharmaceutical company - IXEurope counts a number of pharmaceutical companies as customers.
