“The development of this campus in one of the most sought-after markets in Europe is the first milestone in our $2 billion European expansion strategy. Many of our customers need to be in Europe for a variety of reasons, whether it’s to reduce latency or to comply with local privacy laws. Offenbach is an ideal location, located within one kilometer of the main peering points and just 15 minutes from Frankfurt’s international airport.”
