The new PoP is located in the Interxion (formerly Vancis) data center building in Amsterdam Science Park. It is NTT Com's third location in the city and reflects the company's commitment to the local IT community and its growing Benelux customer base.

In addition to the Interxion building, the PoP will cross connect with Digital Realty, SURFsara and the National Institute for Subatomic Physics (Nikhef). Customers will have access to NTT Com's Global IP Network and its IP transit services, Layer 2 Ethernet solutions and DDoS Protection Services.

"NTT Com is focused on anticipating user demand and has identified Amsterdam Science Park as a world-class hub for research, innovation and entrepreneurship. We are delighted to be supporting such a vibrant, leading-edge community," commented Toby Russell, Sales Director, NTT Europe.

As part of this support, NTT Com is also sponsoring MORE-IP, a networking event for the internet industry taking place in Amsterdam. It is hosted by non-profit AMS-IX (Amsterdam Internet Exchange), one of the world's largest internet exchanges with locations in the greater Amsterdam area and also at the Science Park. "The Netherlands plays a strategic role in the global digital infrastructure, which is growing in density and capacity. With this expansion, NTT Com is making an important contribution to its evolution both in the Netherlands and worldwide," said Jesse Robbers, CCO, AMS-IX.
