My work is all about serving the customer; I believe in long-term relationships and ensuring continuity,” explained Mulder.
Well connected, with fast, robust IT infrastructure, strong commitment to sustainability, and the right to privacy and data protection guaranteed by the Swiss Constitution, Switzerland offers the ideal environment for companies looking to realize their digital ambitions. With five data centers across Geneva and Zurich serving as key interconnection points for Europe, Equinix aims to further the growth of the country’s digital economy, with customers able to reach 80% of the region within 15-milliseconds, point-to-point.
“I would like to extend a warm welcome to René as he joins our EMEA management team.
