IXEurope extends its footprint in France

May 8, 2006

IXEurope has announced it has commenced work to build Phase 2 of its Paris IXDatacentre™ to extend its presence in the French market. The announcement comes only five years after its launch in Paris and just a few weeks after the flotation of the company on the London Stock Exchange.

The project when completed will provide IXEurope with 1,500sqm of additional raised floor space. The overall facility is designed to enable rapid installation of increased power capacity and thus the ability to provide adequate environment solutions to meet High Density Rack requirements. The first part of the upgrade programme, which involves preparing raised floor area and upgrading power systems, is scheduled for completion during autumn 2006.

“High-density server configurations represent the cutting edge of server management. Users of blade servers need access to optimum environments to operate and cool their equipment. As demand is fairly strong in this area we have already seen customers contract space in advance and with the expertise of our team offering purpose-built space for high power racks, we can now offer our customers configurations of up to 20KW per rack,” explains Michael Winterson, VP of International Sales and Marketing and General Manager of IXEurope France.
