INTERXION HOLDING NV (NYSE: INXN), a leading provider of carrier and cloud-neutral colocation data centre services in Europe, and Sify Technologies Limited (NASDAQ: SIFY), a leader in telecom and data centre centric IT services in India with global delivery capabilities, today announced that Sify has established a network point of presence (PoP) at Interxion’s MRS1 data centre in Marseille, France.
Sify’s network expansion to Marseille enhances its ability to provide international services to its 9000+ enterprise customers on the Indian sub-continent. In addition, Sify can now enable interconnections for their wholesale partners seeking state-of-the-art solutions to reach India from Marseille, Europe’s gateway to Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
“With four submarine cable systems from India landing directly in Marseille, it was the logical location for us to expand our network presence,” said Mark Ryder, Managing Director, Europe at Sify. “The large and growing community of network and content providers available to partner with in Marseille accelerates our ability to cater to the burgeoning demands of our clients”.
“Sify will provide our customers with effective solutions to efficiently handle the large increase in content that is being exchanged between Europe and India,” said Mike Hollands, Director of Market Development and Strategy at Interxion. “Sify’s connectivity to 1500 cities and 45 data centres in India over a common data telecom infrastructure provides huge value to the community of interest present in our Marseille facility.”
