Luxembourg, February 11 , 2015
Etix Everywhere announces a capital increase of 15 million euros
to support its growth in Europe, Africa and North America.
The startup is accelerating its deployment of an international network of local data centers.
Etix Everywhere, a company specialized in the construction and operation of modular data centers, has just
announced that it received an investment of 15 million euros from its two financial partners InfraVia (FR) and Tiger
Infrastructure Partners (USA).
Following its successful penetration of the French market, Etix Everywhere is now targeting Europe, Africa and
North America.
Founded in late 2012 by two French serial entrepreneurs, Charles-Antoine Beyney (32) and Antoine Boniface (29),
Etix Everywhere has developed an innovative modular data center architecture that can be deployed anywhere in
the world in less than 16 weeks.
With over 10 data centers completed or currently under construction in Europe and Africa, the company is
capitalizing on its high level of expertise already acknowledged by industry leaders in various sectors including IT,
banking and retail.
The company is experiencing strong demand in local areas and in emerging markets. Its rapid deployment
capability and its scalable infrastructure provide customers with confidence when investing in a brand new module
for their data center. “The common thought is that data centers are heavy, complex and risky investments. Etix
Everywhere disrupts this traditional view.” said Charles-Antoine Beyney, CEO.
Etix Everywhere has achieved a competitive advantage by innovating the technical architecture of its data centers
in close collaboration with the world's top equipment manufacturers. Benoit Parisse, CTO, said “Offering a noncontainerized architecture that is simple, efficient and standardized across all of our data centers guarantees ease
of operation and reliability for our customers.”
In addition to the construction of turnkey data centers for large customers, Etix Everywhere also develops its own
colocation data center network in which hosting services are provided. Antoine Boniface, Managing Director, said:
“This capital increase gives us the financial capacity to develop a truly international network of interconnected data
centers. In the meantime we are particularly proud to be the first international hosting company to have started the
construction of colocation data centers in Northern Africa as well as Western Africa, with the endorsement of bluechip customers.”
This ambition of development is also illustrated by the recruitment of new talent. “The key to our recognition of high
technological expertise lies in our ability to attract and retain the best technical staff.” said Jean-Luc Nguyen, CIO.
Vincent Levita, CEO of InfraVia added “We are really glad to work with the Etix Everywhere team which is
continuing to grow every day. This is a key point in their adventure and we are pleased to support their ambitious
targets to meet the booming demand for data centers.”
“Etix Everywhere has developed a unique concept for data centers which addresses the fast growing global
demand for reliable communications infrastructure, outsourced IT, cloud, data handling and security.” said Emil
Henry, Managing Partner of Tiger Infrastructure Partners. “We are excited to partner with the company’s founders
and InfraVia and look forward to helping Etix Everywhere grow.”
