AtlasEdge, a leading pan-European Edge data centre provider, has today announced the successful completion of its acquisition of Datacenter One (“DC1”), becoming Germany’s leading distributed platform, with a clear pipeline to expand further.
The acquisition, which includes 140+ customers, four state-of-the-art data centres in Stuttgart (x2), Dusseldorf and Leverkusen, as well as additional locations under construction, complements AtlasEdge’s existing sites in Hamburg and Berlin and significantly increases its ability to service customers across five regional German markets.

The deep local knowledge and expertise offered by Wolfgang and his team will prove invaluable as we consolidate our presence in the country and continue our customer-led expansion.”
