In addition, Josh Buis, who joined Vantage in 2019 as vice president, international business development, will take on an expanded role as senior vice president, sales and business development, for Europe.<\/p>\n

We are very excited to welcome Antoine and his team to lead our European business.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Etix team and I are thrilled to join Vantage,\u201d said Boniface. \u201cThe experience that Vantage brings with North American-based hyperscale, cloud and wholesale customers, combined with Etix\u2019s European experience and Frankfurt hyperscale campus, creates a compelling platform that is ideally positioned to serve customers across Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vantage intends to invest USD $2 billion in its planned European expansion, including more than USD $800 million in new equity capital provided by Vantage\u2019s current investors and a new commitment from Digital Colony Partners.<\/p>\n
