Equinix Acquires Kleyer 90 Carrier Hotel In Frankfurt
The acquisition is designed to enhance customer continuity and consolidate position in one of Europe’s busiest network hubs
Equinix, Inc. has announced it has acquired the Kleyer 90 carrier hotel, located at Kleyerstrasse 90 in Frankfurt — one of the busiest network nodes in Europe — from a Berlin-based private investor. The deal follows Equinix’s acquisition last year of Ancotel GmbH, a leading provider of carrier-neutral data center colocation and interconnection services, which is based in Kleyer 90. The purchase will provide Equinix customers with greater security, as well as continuity and expansion opportunities in Campus Kleyer, Equinix’s Frankfurt data center campus, which is partially based in the Kleyer 90 building.
“The acquisition of Kleyer 90 is the natural next step following our successful integration of Ancotel last year and will give our customers greater confidence when planning ahead in this exceptionally busy network hub. We can now offer long-term continuity and room to grow, and we plan to invest in the building to enhance security and infrastructure management,”said Eric Schwartz, president, Equinix EMEA:
