DANISH DATA CENTER INDUSTRY ANNOUNCES NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH DIGIPLEX

DigiPlex, a Nordic data centre colocation provider, has recently joined the Danish Data Center Industry (DD)) to share knowledge, participate to the expansion of the digital economy in the Denmark, and further their reach into the regional data center market.

Denmark was an obvious target for DigiPlex. The Nordic data centre company has a strong reputation in designing, building and operating data centres in Norway and Sweden – all with a strong focus on innovation, sustainability and security.

“We have seen a very interesting development in the Danish market over the last couple of years due to a successful national strategy to prioritise and invest in fibre connections and the right energy setup. Denmark has recognised the potential of the data centre market and is well-placed due to its central location close to Germany and the rest of mainland Europe”, says Gisle M. Eckhoff, CEO of DigiPlex.

With the opening of the Copenhagen data centre in May, DigiPlex’s portfolio has grown to nearly 340,000 sqf of data centre space across five sites: one in Denmark, one in Sweden and three in Norway.

The 17,200 sqf building is approximately 10 minutes’ drive from Copenhagen’s International airport at Kastrup. DigiPlex joins the likes of Facebook and Google, which are also building and/or planning data centres in Denmark.

“We are looking forward to be joining the Danish Data Center Industry Association alongside the other regional and international heavyweight members”, says Mark Kjeldstrøm, Operations Manager at DigiPlex in Denmark.

Henrik Hansen, Director of DDI adds: “The Nordic data center market is experiencing tremendous growth in recent years, creating vast opportunities for the regional market.
