Announces transatlantic cloud computing data center alliance.
Interxion, a provider of carrier-neutral colocation data center services, today announced a cloud computing-focused data center alliance with CoreSite, a provider of network-rich data centers. The company states that the alliance addresses dual-continent demand from cloud companies looking for data center space in Europe and the U.S. as well as cloud customers of both companies looking to expand internationally. The transatlantic cloud data center alliance reduces the risk and challenges involved with international data center sourcing between Europe and the U.S. with the company and CoreSite providing a seamless sourcing process and similar cloud-optimized peering/network access and colocation environments.
According to it, The 451 Group, a leading information communication technology analysts firm, expects the cloud computing industry (including SaaS) to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24%, reaching USD 16.7B in the year 2013. CoreSite and the company address this demand with 1.8 million square feet in key cloud computing markets such as Amsterdam, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Dublin, Zurich, Silicon Valley, Los Angeles, New York, and Northern Virginia, in addition to other European and North American locations. The companies offer similar cloud-optimized data center design, including carrier-neutral, network-dense colocation environments, abundant power, uptime greater than 99.999%, and advances in energy efficiency and security.
The company says that additional synergies include cloud outreach programs, its Cloud Hub and CoreSite's CloudCommunity. The cloud outreach programs bring together infrastructure (IaaS), platform (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers, as well as system integrators and network providers. Both companies also offer cloud test lab and demo environments for cloud providers in pre-launch and enterprises with private clouds in beta in select data centers.
It mentions that this alliance will also allow the companies to address the transatlantic demand from the fast-growing digital media and content sectors, which also require high availability and well-connected data center environments for the effective aggregation, management and distribution of on-demand and real-time online content. The companies provide direct access to a range of relevant connectivity partners, including Tier 1 and Tier 2 network service providers, internet service providers, Europe's public internet exchanges and leading content distribution networks.
"As the market for cloud services continues to grow, companies like Interxion and CoreSite represent an ideal way to reach the highest concentrations of consumers on both sides of the Atlantic. Customers based in the U.S can now move seamlessly into Europe, extending connectivity and presence across the region," said David Ruberg, Chief Executive Officer, Interxion.
"CoreSite remains focused on cloud computing, facilitating its international development, and capitalizing on the revenue opportunities it presents," commented Thomas M. Ray, CoreSite President and CEO. "The alliance with Interxion ensures a strong international extension for CoreSite and Interxion cloud customers via an efficient and seamless international data center expansion process."
