Combine Italy's strategic location, the growing momentum of cloud adoption, and the presence of tech leaders, and you get an emerging data centre hub that's as dynamic as it is strategic. The Italian digital landscape is akin to a fine wine - rich in heritage yet perfectly adapting to global palates. So, what's next? With the digital roads leading to Rome, the Italian market is set to continue its ascension, paving the way for a data-driven future across the continent. 🇮🇹✨ #DataCentre #DataCenter

#Germany is the largest country in the European Union by population and has the highest GDP. It’s also got a thriving tech sector, closely linked to the financial hub in Frankfurt, which is one of the top #datacenter hubs in #Europe. Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Paris, and Dublin make up the FLAP-D set of data center hubs, with Frankfurt currently coming second to London. But all these zones face increased pressure due to #space and #power considerations. More importantly, the growth of the sector has brought it to the attention of the government - and brought #regulations down on its head. https://lnkd.in/eJY-b-25 #rechenzentrum #datacentre #centrodedatos #colocation #data #criticalfacilities #pue #energyefficiency #heatreuse #legislation #colocation

ICG and Teras launch data center platform Templus A new European data center company, Templus, has launched in Spain. Last week, alternative asset manager ICG and investment firm Teras Capital announced the creation of Templus, a $326 million data center platform focused on Southern Europe. Templus aims to develop a network of 20 data centers, starting with five operational centers it has acquired in Madrid, Malaga, and Seville, which together have an installed capacity of 15MW. Templus's website lists the facilities as follows: Madrid (10MW across 2,600 sqm), Malaga (2.8MW across 600 sqm), Seville (800kW across 370 sqm), Mallorca (500kW across 350 sqm), and Ceuta (1MW across 800 sqm). Earlier this year, ICG and Teras acquired the data center business of Spanish telecom company Avatel. According to El Economista, the Avatel portfolio, along with a data center acquired from Mapfre, constitutes Templus's current network. Templus representative Velilla told DCD Spain that the company is targeting data centers between 2 and 10MW. He also mentioned to Data Center Markets that Templus is looking at facilities in Barcelona, Valencia, Zaragoza, and San Sebastián, with plans to expand to other European markets. In October 2023, ICG acquired a portfolio of UK data centers leased to Vodafone, taking over five data exchanges around London totaling 24,155 sqm from British Land for $152.2 million. Teras has previously partnered with Asterion to acquire Spanish fiber firm Olivenet and Olin Group in 2022 and sold the Chilean fiber unit Mundo Pacífico to DigitalBridge in 2021. #lureit #wannabelured #hardware #software #network #base #data #it #project #development #company #digital #power #launch #solution #platform #icg #teras #power #construction #cloud #datacenter

🌐 France Data Centre Market: A Tour De Force in the Global Landscape 🌐 Much of the data center activity in France has been centered in Paris, making it one of the top markets in the EU and the world. Paris has a rather mature ecosystem, with investment kicking off in 1998 after the demonopolization of France Telecom. This opened up the market, inviting domestic and foreign investment in telecom infrastructure, just in time for the construction of modernized data centers. Outside of Paris, investments have been strong in other urban centers, including Marseille, Lyon, Lille, and Strasbourg. These cities feature excellent connectivity and rich, redundant ecosystems to help data center providers eliminate downtime and provide reliable, low-latency services to customers. #projektmanagement #projektentwicklung #bau #construction #projectmanagement #projectdevelopment #datacenter #rechenzentren #sustainability #ESG #edgedatacenter #hyperscale #parisdatacenter #paris

While Milan reaffirms its role as Italy’s primary Data Centre hub, Rome is rapidly gaining traction with several DC projects recently completed or announced. An example is the €130m investment announced by TIM to build a new 25MW facility.
