The rst phase is expected to provide approximately 2,900 square metres and is scheduled to open by mid-year 2022.

The expansion is adjacent to the existing ZUR1 and ZUR2 facilities on the Interxion Zurich Campus, the leading cloud and interconnection hub in . The new development project will benet from the same high levels of network connectivity available at the existing data centres on the Zurich campus, and represents a strategic expansion of PlatformDIGITAL® in Switzerland.
