Having witnessed first-hand the immense evolution of Interxion , Coors explained how it has changed over the years , he said : “ Interxion started by working in minute trading . We then moved into data centres , where we collected as many carriers together with the internet exchanges , creating the first communities of interest with enterprise customers . Then when cloud technologies came , we incorporated those into our operations too .”
