Dutch colo firm Interxion opened its seventh data center (FRA 7) in its Frankfurt campus adding 1,500 sqm of additional equipped space and 2 MW of additional customer power from renewable energy sources..

The new data centre addresses the consistent growth in customer demand for highly connected applications in Interxion’s “Cloud Hub”. This virtual community is enabled by a “Connectivity Hub” and hosts the core infrastructure of the DE-CIX which Interxion says is the world’s largest internet exchange in terms of peak traffic.

“This build provides needed capacity in the most highly connected campus in the largest data centre market in continental Europe. Interxion Frankfurt is the leading option for connectivity-intensive companies, particularly in the cloud, digital media, and financial services segments, and we continue to see strong demand in this market,” said David Ruberg, Interxion's Chief Executive Officer.

NYSE listed Interxion has previously announced that it will add over 12,000 square meters of equipped space in 2012, representing a nearly 20 percent increase in the Company’s total at year end 2011.
