LOS ANGELES, Oct. 18, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ChinaCache North America Inc. ("CCNA"), the global business unit of ChinaCache International Holdings Ltd., ("ChinaCache" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:CCIH), the leading total solutions provider of internet content and application delivery services in China, announced today that it has deployed a node in Interxion's Frankfurt data center to expand its capacity and presence in Europe.
In order to accommodate the rising number of European companies seeking to access data and applications from China as well as supply data and application-intensive services to China, ChinaCache has deployed another node in Frankfurt to increase its European capacity by 400%. The increase will allow ChinaCache to expand coverage to more European countries as well as improve overall availability and performance. By leveraging Interxion's vast resources across Europe, ChinaCache expects to meet the growing web-performance and live-streaming demands to provide a better end-user experience for its European clients.
With the new node located in Interxion's Frankfurt data center, ChinaCache has four nodes in Europe and a total of 240 nodes worldwide. With these nodes deployed in 13 countries and over 110 cities, ChinaCache provides an enhanced network covering the whole world.
"ChinaCache is the premiere Asian CDN provider, and we are thrilled to welcome the company to our Content Hub," said Jonathan Wood, head of digital media, Interxion. "It is a fantastic addition for us, as its presence gives us access into a lucrative Chinese market and enables the European digital media community to access the Asian market. We are pleased with ChinaCache's first deployment in our Frankfurt data center, and look forward to working with the company on its continued growth and evolution in additional regions."
"As a China-focused CDN provider with a global presence, we recognize how important an enhanced European footprint is for our business," said Song Wong, founder, chairman and CEO of ChinaCache. "Given the size of its economy and the extent of its international data traffic, Germany is a logical first step for our European growth plans, and we are very impressed with Interxion's Frankfurt data center.

We are pleased to work with Interxion as we continue to expand, and we look forward to continued collaboration."
