AMSTERDAM – 3rd April , 2008 – Interxion, Europe’s leading provider of network-neutral data centre services, today announced that the company has become a Contributor Member of The Green Grid, a global nonprofit consortium of companies dedicated to advancing energy efficiency in data centres and business computing ecosystems. Alongside other members such as Microsoft, IBM, and Cisco, Interxion will use its membership to pursue a strategy of maximizing energy-efficient design and processes in data centres.

“We feel that it is our responsibility, on behalf of our customers and the industry as whole, to take a proactive role in defining and delivering better standards in energy-efficiency,” said Dick Theunissen, Interxion’s Chief Marketing Officer. “Interxion is now in its fifth generation of data centre design, and each generation improves efficiency through energy-conscious design and the application of new technologies. As a Contributor Member of The Green Grid, we will be uniquely placed to support the organisation’s efforts in Europe, where we intend to share the knowledge and expertise we have gained building over 42,000 m² of raised floor with The Green Grid, its membership, and our customers.”

Very cool, the more vendors that join The Green Grid, the more viewpoints/best practices we can exchange, the more we can achieve a holistic approach to being more energy efficient, from the server to the disk, the SAN, to the network as well as the data center.
