Interxion acquires Lamda Hellix

Lamda Hellix is the largest carrier-neutral colocation provider in Greece, offering best-in-class cloud and colocation services. Its state-of-the-art data centre campus in Athens is the largest in southeastern Europe and the most interconnected in Greece.

It currently houses two data centres hosting approximately two-thirds of Greek data centre communities. The facilities are serviced by all fibre and connectivity providers operating in the country and serve a wide variety of blue-chip customers, including telecom providers, government, financial service enterprises, cloud service providers, and two leading internet exchanges.

Lamda Hellix is headquartered in Athens, Greece, an emerging colocation gateway at the crossroads of Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East. The acquisition bolsters Interxion’s and Digital Realty’s global footprint, which already includes more than 700 connectivity providers in over 280 data centres across 23 countries.

The transaction also reflects Digital Realty’s continued investment in PlatformDIGITAL®, the company’s global data centre platform supporting customers around the world as they navigate digital transformation strategies and the complexities of rapidly growing demand, the need for global coverage and additional capacity.

“We are thrilled to further expand our footprint in southeastern Europe in support of our customers’ growth and their commitment to delivering technology and resources to create new opportunities for the people, government and businesses of Greece,” said David Ruberg, Chief Executive, EMEA. “Lamda Hellix’s successful track record of delivering high-quality colocation services has produced robust growth and reflects the fundamentals of the opportunity in the region and the critical role Greece plays in the emerging global compute fabric. We believe a leading position in Greece offers significant opportunities for Interxion and Digital Realty together with Lamda Hellix to exploit their customer first approach to their relationships with global cloud platform operators and enterprises to generate significant opportunities to expand the base of our combined businesses.”

Lamda Hellix’s management team is one of the most accomplished in southeastern European, with a combined 60 years of experience in the data centre industry. The management team will remain with the business, including current CEO and Chairman Apostolos Kakkos, who will continue to lead and run the operation. “We are delighted to partner with Interxion and Digital Realty and to become part of PlatformDIGITAL®,” said Kakkos. “This partnership will enable us to provide our customers and partners with enhanced connectivity services and new opportunities for growth within this vibrant region and beyond and help facilitate the acceleration of Greece’s digital transformation.”
