Broad incumbents

• Equinix: Global colocation and interconnection incumbent with a large European footprint; while Equinix is primarily a multi-tenant colocation operator, it also serves hyperscale customers with build-to-suit capacity and competes with GTR for the same hyperscale lease pipelines in key European FLAP-D markets.
