Enterprises across industries and regions are rapidly adopting digital transformation strategies, with businesses expecting to spend $5.9 trillion¹ on digital transformation between 2019 and 2022.  Delivering on those strategies across geographies, customers and endpoints is creating a growing connectivity challenge, however.  By 2022, IT leaders expect to serve up to 20² more locations than they do today, and IDC predicts over 41.6 billion³ connected devices will be in use by 2025.

Interxion has continued to expand across EMEA to help enterprises simplify these connectivity challenges and advance their digital transformation strategies, with recent strategic land acquisitions in Frankfurt and Paris, along with Cloud House, the expansion of its highly connected Digital Docklands campus in London.  The consistent growth of the EMEA footprint represents a significant expansion of PlatformDIGITAL, enabling businesses to meet their global connectivity needs with a single data centre provider.
