ENABLING EXPANDING DATA CENTRE INTERCONNECTIVITY

EXA INFRASTRUCTURE OUTLINES THE VALUE OF DATA CENTRE INTERCONNECTIVITY AND HOW ITS SERVICES ARE DRIVING SCALABLE, SUSTAINABLE GROWTH ACROSS GLOBAL MARKETS

EXA Infrastructure (EXA) owns and operates the most extensive dedicated infrastructure footprint connecting Europe and North America. Since launch in September 2021, EXA has worked tirelessly to expand its global presence in pursuit of its clear aimto become the undisputed pan-European and transatlantic data centre to data centre connectivity provider.

The digital infrastructure provider focusses on data centre to data centre interconnectivity, enabling core to edge data distribution and core to core connectivity across all major European data centre markets. Not only has EXA established a critical position in the key FLAP market, but it is also relied upon by data centres players throughout Europe’s emerging Tier II & Tier III markets, including the Iberian Peninsula, the Nordics, and Central, Southern and Eastern Europe.

So, to find out more about the role EXA plays in data centre interconnectivity, and its predictions for the future of these critical markets, we spoke to two experts in the team driving the company’s inter data centre initiatives: Pravdomir Dobrev, Senior Product Manager, and Georgi Lesov, Network Investment Manager.

A leading pan-European, transatlantic connectivity provider One of EXA’s key market differentiators is the sheer size of its established and growing network.

“Our network is an impressive panEuropean digital platform with over 500 Points-of-Presence (PoPs) globally. We own and operate three transatlantic cables, including the fastest and lowest latency link between London and New York. EXA has considerable presence on the east coast of the United States and in Canada too.” Lesov explains.

The focus of Lesov’s team is on strategic network investments, with Lesov looking after the CEE and Nordic regions. Lesov is also responsible for overseeing data centre interconnectivity with a global lens.

Dobrev’s role is the management of the colocation product line and supporting EXA’s growth strategy in the colocation market space. Since launch, EXA has connected – or is in the process of connecting –tens of new strategic data centres across Europe and North America, with the former spanning considerably beyond the region’s traditional markets.
