Interoute, owner of the largest cloud services platform operator in Europe, announces it's expanded the available hosting space in its Paris data centre to 800m². Interoute's Paris data centre is directly connected by the company's 60,000 km fibre optic network to Interoute's other 10 data centres and eight Virtual Data Centres across the world. Interoute's data centres are also connected to 31 colocation facilities and an additional 140 partner owned data centres forming a massive network of distributed data centres across Europe, USA and Asia.
Matthew Finnie, CTO of Interoute, commented, "We have added 400m² to our dedicated managed hosting area in our Paris data centre, giving us a total of 800m² of available space. This gives us 200 terabytes of storage capacity and the ability to manage 150 new racks. Our facility in Paris is connected to all our data centres via our Parisian MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) which is connected to our 20 other metropolitan networks across Europe, which also allows us to connect to any partner carrier hotels. Plus we have local language teams across Europe ready to serve our customers, which is a real asset."
