| ALL ABOUT OUR EUROPEAN REACH |
| Is EdgeConneX a serious contender in the European Data Center market? |
Following its success as a new player in the market of “build-to-suit” data centers across Europe in 2016, we have found that EdgeConneX® has taken this market by storm with exponential demand for Edge Data Centers® (EDCs) by our customers in Amsterdam and Dublin.
Just a year ago, we were reported to appear as little more than taking a small first step into Europe with our first EDC build in Amsterdam. Today, EdgeConneX is on to its sixth data center in the region, a campus in Amsterdam that is approaching 100MW of critical IT power capability, and 10 additional new markets under review for our customers’ needs. |

| SPOTLIGHT ON... |
 |
 This month we spoke with Staffan Göjeryd, CEO of Telia Carrier, who provided us with some great insights on their network, why they selected EdgeConneX, network trends to look out for in 2018 and more.
1. It was recently announced that Telia Carrier will be deploying its network across the global EdgeConneX portfolio. What prompted this great partnership and how is it unique?
At Telia Carrier, we continue to extend our global Internet backbone, AS1299 into additional edge markets. For us to do this successfully, we need strong, reliable partners, and to quote one of our Carrier Declarations, we need to ‘Choose Your Allies Carefully’. EdgeConneX is a trusted infrastructure partner that we can count on in these markets to provide consistent, secure and high reliability facilities with compelling service quality. As we both grow our presence into new markets it is a perfect opportunity to build on our strong relationship. |

| What It Takes To Move The Edge Globally: |
Moving the Edge Globally
The geographic contours of the global Internet are changing shape dramatically, characterized by a rapid increase in data traffic driven by cloud and Over-the-Top (OTT) services, bandwidth-intensive applications and Big Data. This evolutionary shift, on which the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) will have an enormous impact, is creating significant infrastructure challenges and corresponding opportunities to serve numerous underserved Tier II and III markets, not only across North America, but globally. What are some of these problems you ask? |
