DENVER, June 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CoreSite (NYSE:
COR), a U.S. provider of powerful, network-rich data centers, today
announced a transatlantic, cloud computing-focused data center
alliance with INTERXION HOLDING NV (NYSE: INXN), a leading European
operator of carrier-neutral colocation data centers. The alliance
addresses dual-continent demand from cloud companies looking for
data center space in the U.S. and Europe as well as cloud customers of both
companies looking to expand internationally. The transatlantic
cloud data center alliance reduces the risks and challenges
involved with international data center sourcing between the U.S.
and Europe with CoreSite and
Interxion providing a seamless sourcing process and similar
cloud-optimized peering/network access and colocation
environments.
A leading information communication technology analysts firm,
The 451 Group, expects the cloud computing industry (including
SaaS) to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24%,
reaching $16.7B in the year 2013.
CoreSite and Interxion address this demand with 1.8 million
square feet in key cloud computing markets such as Silicon Valley,
Los Angeles, New York, Northern
Virginia, Amsterdam,
London, Paris, Frankfurt, Dublin and Zurich in addition to other North American and
European locations. The companies offer similar cloud-optimized
data center design, including carrier-neutral, network-dense
colocation environments, abundant power, greater than 99.999%
uptime, and advances in energy-efficiency and security.
Additional synergies include the companies' cloud outreach
programs, CoreSite's CloudCommunity and Interxion's cloud hub
program. 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 in select data
centers for cloud providers in pre-launch and enterprises with
private clouds in beta.
This alliance will also allow the companies to address
transatlantic demand from the digital media and content sectors,
which have similar requirements for high availability and
well-connected data center environments to facilitate the effective
aggregation, management and distribution of real-time, online
content. CoreSite and Interxion are both carrier-neutral data
center providers, offering direct access to hundreds of
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.
U.S. based customers 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."
