AQ-BCN1
Our second facility will be centrally located in a data centre hub Parc de l’Alba in the metropolitan area of Barcelona:
The data centre will be a 50 MW colocation facility, prepared with the potential to support high-density racks for HPC. Supplied with 100% renewable energy, the data centre will satisfy the needs of hyperscalers, large enterprises and other organisations that require extensive computing capacity.
Spain, an growing data centre nation
In recent years, Spain has become a communications hub in southern Europe, offering a highly available, secure and sustainable infrastructure. The Spanish data centre market has grown significantly, with increased development of hyperscale data centres and investment from cloud service providers. The increasing internet penetration in Spain is creating lucrative opportunities for data companies to grow and expand their business presence in the country.
