Telecom Italia Sparkle has extended its relationship with carrier-neutral data center operator, Interxion, by locating equipment in the company’s recently completed Frankfurt 5 data center. The company already has a presence in Interxion’s Frankfurt 2, Dusseldorf, Brussels, Paris and Vienna data centers.
Interxion’s Frankfurt data centers make up Germany’s largest data hub, providing Telecom Italia Sparkle with opportunities to meet new customers and peering partners. The hub offers direct connectivity to over 150 carriers and Internet Service Providers as well as 80 percent of the members of DE-CIX, the Frankfurt-based German Internet exchange. The Frankfurt 5 facility can supply up to 30 kW of power per cabinet to meet power requirements for the latest high-density server configurations and features free air cooling as standard to optimize energy efficiency.
“We have grown with Interxion because they provide the high level of availability, scalability and connectivity we need to guarantee the best possible service to our customers,” said Pier Giorgio M. Regini, in charge of vendor management at Telecom Italia Sparkle. “From the beginning, Interxion has made every effort to meet Telecom Italia Sparkle’s challenging and stringent requirements associated with superior quality of service that it is committed to provide to our customers.”
“We are extremely pleased that Telecom Italia Sparkle has again expanded in Frankfurt, and we are dedicated to building on our successful relationship with them,” said Anthony Foy, Interxion Group MD. “There is currently no other data center in the region that can provide such high levels of connectivity, power, energy efficiency and service. We are continuously striving to extend and enhance these offerings, not just in Germany but in all 25 of our data centers across Europe.”
