Digital Realty Data Center Expansion in Italy

under construction

Digital Realty plans to invest 2 billion euros (2.3 billion US dollars) in Italy over the next five years as part of its European expansion strategy focused on the Mediterranean region. The company will build data center campuses in Rome and Milan, integrating them into a network covering Barcelona, Marseille, and Athens. The Rome data center has a target capacity of 62 megawatts and is expected to come online early next year, while the Milan data center has a capacity of 84 megawatts. Digital Realty is also exploring participation in an EU-backed Italian artificial intelligence 'mega-factory' initiative, which may require approximately 200 megawatts of installed capacity.
