“ I think it ' s key to point out that we ' re in what ’ s historically considered to be a Tier 1 market , but that it has been regularly under-performing compared to the other FLAP-D markets .
Paris hadn ' t really seen the level of growth that its competitors had , and so , “ it was perceived as a bit of an outlier ”.
This was a key part of Data4 ’ s success as , when they started out in Paris , it was very much a market with a lot of potential but without much going on .
“ IT ' S THE CHALLENGES THAT GET YOU OUT OF BED . IT ' S WHAT MAKES IT INTERESTING ”

“ And we had this huge campus of 111 hectares and a hundred megawatts . I mean , we didn ' t think we ' d fill this campus in 50 years , let alone in the time that we ' re doing ”, Levine reflects .
A rapid expansion , from single market , single tenant , to a pan-European , multiproduct business Data4 is geared to take full advantage of this market boom , with its Paris campus currently underway to become a 250 MW site . Now , the company is planning to further consolidate its position as a market leader in its core markets , which are Paris , Milan , Madrid and Warsaw .
