Kontiki, provider of a cloud-based video platform for enterprises, has expanded its infrastructure into an Equinix data center in London.

The company said expanding into Equinix's LD5 facility will bring it closer to its European customers and enhance performance for them. Kontiki currently operates out of three Equinix data centers in Silicon Valley.

This deal provides Kontiki with access to a global value-chain of more than 4,000 potential partners, customers and suppliers of digital services through Equinix Marketplace, providing the company with significant opportunities to accelerate growth.

Graig Gordon, Kontiki's VP of worldwide sales, said the company had ambitions to expand in Europe significantly. “Equinix is a perfect strategic match for this expansion,” he said. “Setting up in a UK data center was vital to the commitment to supporting our growing European customer base with a data management system located in the EU.

“Expanding our use of Platform Equinix will significantly reduce latency and enhance performance for these customers.”

Dick Theunissen, CMO for Equinix in EMEA, said, “As well as the considerable business benefits around speed and efficiency, Equinix data centers are also a great revenue opportunity. This relationship will enable Kontiki to benefit from Equinix Marketplace, a tool designed to give companies better visibility on who else is located within Equinix facilities - enabling them to connect with each other, and do business.

“We share a long track record of collaboration with Kontiki and look forward to extending this relationship across Europe.”
