Digital Realty, one of the largest global providers of cloud- and carrier-neutral data centre, colocation and interconnection solutions, has announced a signed memorandum of understanding (MoU) with EXA Infrastructure (EXA), one of the largest dedicated digital infrastructure platforms connecting Europe and North America. The strategic collaboration will facilitate the expansion of EXA’s fibre infrastructure to Digital Realty’s data centres across the Mediterranean region, bolstering its connectivity infrastructure.
Following EXA’s recent deployments in Digital Realty’s sites in Dublin, Paris and Zagreb, Digital Realty’s relationship with EXA has grown to 14 metros globally, enabling the business to deploy its services in multiple markets and place infrastructure next to major peering points across Europe and the US.
The signed MoU signals for the future expansion to new markets across the Mediterranean, including Barcelona, Heraklion in Crete, Athens, as well as other locations where Digital Realty has announced land acquisitions and future constructions of new data centres.
Digital Realty’s investments in carrier-neutral colocation facilities in the Mediterranean are aligned with the expansion of EXA’s terrestrial and submarine fibre optic cable system, bringing together new capacity, additional diversity and increased resilience across the region. Through the extension of this strategic partnership, enterprises and service providers will be able to seamlessly interconnect and serve the Mediterranean region in a more efficient manner while expanding their digital services to new geographies.
