Equinix’s Brenden Rawle announced as Director of Interconnection across EMEA

Appointment will drive the adoption of interconnection across EMEA as businesses look to digitally transform.

Equinix has appointed Brenden Rawle as Director of Interconnection, EMEA. Previously Senior Principal Solution Architect at Equinix EMEA, Rawle will lead Equinix’s newly formed EMEA Interconnection Team, as they support the successful launch of Equinix’s Internet Exchanges across 11 new markets.

 

The new team has been set up in response to the global explosion of data, and resulting need for interconnection – the direct and secure exchange of data between businesses. According to the Global Interconnection Index, a report that analyses and forecasts Interconnection Bandwidth, EMEA’s capacity – measured in Terabits per second (Tbps) – is expected to quadruple in size from 473 Tbps in 2017 to 1451 Tbps by 2020. Businesses will rely more and more on data transfers and business transactions that take place between servers at distributed IT exchange points, offering huge performance and security advantages over the public internet.

 

Rawle has held various roles within leading tech firms, including at Juniper Networks and Cable & Wireless, where he worked as the lead consultant on various network transformation projects across EMEA. Throughout his career, Rawle has managed multiple engineering teams and covered operations, network design and architecture, with numerous large-scale network service providers.
