IX Europe plc, Europe's specialist data center services company with 14 IXDatacentres across four countries, has signed its first customer contract for its new London4 IXDatacentre, which is currently under construction to the west of London.
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 5,000m┬▓ of net data center space and could later be expanded by a further 5,000m┬▓ of high specification net space with 24MW of provisioned power.
