EXA Infrastructure, the largest dedicated digital infrastructure platform connecting Europe and North America, and Lancom, one of the fastest growing providers of data centre, cloud and telecoms services in Greece, announced their strategic partnership to bolster connectivity and infrastructure services, establishing Greece as a critical link to internet exchanges in Europe.
Expanding its presence, EXA is now live in Lancom’s Balkan Gate data center (DC), the largest carrier neutral DC in Northern Greece located in Thessaloniki. The strategic location borders Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Albania and Turkey, with links to Italy the Middle East, Africa and beyond. Greece is fast becoming a hot spot for connectivity with its strategic location in the Mediterranean and its network junction to multiple subsea cables systems attracting international appeal.
Lancom CEO George Nolis said, “EXA Infrastructure and Lancom are shaping a robust digital future for the region, with EXA’s dedication and expertise playing a pivotal role in turning our vision into reality. This collaboration forges direct pathways to Europe's most critical Internet Exchanges – a move that will catalyse an era of enhanced digital services and internet reliability across South and Eastern Europe. We eagerly anticipate the opportunities this partnership will unlock and look forward to our continued success and growth alongside EXA Infrastructure.”
This strategic partnership promises to bring a new era of connectivity to the region, providing businesses with faster and more reliable network infrastructure services. Lancom’s Balkan Gate Thessaloniki data centre and Greece's strategic location in the Mediterranean are poised to play a vital role in this exciting endeavour, shaking up the digital hotspot in Europe.
EXA Infrastructure CCO Nicholas Collins commented, “Our strategic partnership with Lancom is another step into delivering our vision and growth plans for the Mediterranean region, further enhancing connectivity and diversification in Greece and across Europe.
