Andrew Fray – Interxion
In a career spanning 30 years, Andrew Fray joined Interxion as managing director in December 2015,
having worked in telecoms and ICT for most of his working life, including management roles in BT,
Swiftcall, KDDI and Telehouse. Here, Andrew discusses changes he’s seen in the industry, such as the
momentum of hybrid cloud, what makes a successful data centre and his love of London.
What were you doing before you
joined Interxion and how did you
first get involved in the industry?
Before joining Interxion, I spent
over seven years as a director at
Telehouse Europe, where I oversaw
governance, risk and compliance.
I was thrilled to join Interxion
as managing director UK in
December 2015, inspired by how
the company is redefining what
it means to be a data centre.
The chance to lead the company
through the major expansion of
its London campus, and make a
lasting mark on the future of the
capital’s technology infrastructure
was an unmissable opportunity.
What are the biggest changes
you have seen in the data
centre industry?
The industry is evolving and
progressing. One of the biggest
changes is the clear shift to hybrid
cloud, with customers ‘toggling’
between resources in public clouds
and their own private clouds.
Today, we are working closely with
organisations - most notably in the
financial services, digital media
and connectivity businesses - to
help them redefine their structures
accordingly to fully enable ‘cloud’.
