The contract, for the provision of several hundred rack spaces and associated support services, has an initial value of �20m over ten years excluding power usage.
The early signing of this contract reflects the very strong interest in this high specification facility, which is expected to open in summer 2007. Interest is coming principally from the financial services sector and from major internet companies.
IXEurope's London4 IXDatacentre is near Slough and complements the Group's existing London facilities in the City, Park Royal and West Drayton. This new IXDatacentre will initially deliver 5,000m2 of net datacentre space and could later be expanded by a further 5,000m2 of high specification net space with 24 megawatts of provisioned power.
Guy Willner, Chief Executive Officer of IXEurope said:
“This first customer contract and other sales bids currently in progress reflect the strong demand for professionally operated and highly specified datacentre services. A customer signature over six months ahead of space delivery is a record achievement for IXEurope and is testament to the trust our customers place not only in our ability to deliver but also on our ability to provide high quality professional services.”
