AtlasEdge, a leading pan-European data centre provider, today announces the acquisition of land for the development of its second data centre in Barcelona.
With initial power already secured, the new facility will deliver 10MW by 2027, with the potential to increase this to 24MW. The 18,000 square-metre plot is 6km from the company’s existing Barcelona data centre and is strategically located close to the Barcelona Cable Landing Station.
Barcelona is quickly becoming a key growth market in the digital space, driven by high customer demand and new subsea cable advances that have made the city a key connection point for data between Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.
“This expansion in Barcelona is another stride forward in our mission to develop sustainable capacity in fast-growing European markets. We’re thrilled to continue building our presence and serve more customers in one of the continent’s most dynamic and best-connected digital hubs.” Tesh Durvasula, CEO, AtlasEdge
AtlasEdge continues to strengthen its executive team and data centre portfolio. In the past three months the company announced the appointment of Tesh Durvasula as CEO and Robbie Mcghie as Chief Delivery Officer, as well as its entry into the Portuguese market with the acquisition of two adjacent sites in Lisbon that will deliver more than 20MW of IT load.
