IX Europe has acquired a second data center in Paris (Paris2 IXDatacentre) to accommodate strong growth from enterprise, Internet and telecom customers.

This expansion is in addition to IXEurope building out a further 1,500 m2 at its existing site in Roissy (near Charles de Gaulle airport). Acquisition and capital expenditure costs for Paris2 will total £2.7m: estimated at £2.0m in 2006 and £0.7m in 2007. 

Guy Willner, CEO of IXEurope commented, "We are very excited about this substantial and immediate expansion of our capacity in France to address our growing pipeline of business. As with all our data center asset acquisitions we have conducted a rigorous review of all potential sites on the market and this is the only property available to meet IXEurope's high standards."
