NxN Data Centers, a Spanish data center operator, has made its entry into the Portuguese market with the acquisition of a data center in Évora. The center, which has a capacity of 1 MW, was previously owned by Decsis, a Portuguese company that has been declared insolvent. The acquisition marks a significant milestone for NxN as it expands its presence in the Iberian Peninsula.
The Évora data center is strategically located between Lisbon and Madrid, making it an ideal hub for NxN's operations in Portugal. According to Sergio Riolobos, CEO of NxN Data Centers, the location allows the company to initiate its activity in Portugal with an existing infrastructure, which is already commercially active. The center currently provides services to clients in Portugal.
NxN Data Centers plans to invest up to €100 million in Portugal over the next three years, reflecting its commitment to the country's growth potential. Javier Salas, President and CEO of NxN Data Centers, emphasized that the investment is part of the company's long-term growth strategy in Portugal. The company is currently analyzing new opportunities for development and acquisition in the country.
The acquisition of the Évora data center is part of NxN's plan to expand its platform through new digital infrastructures that meet the highest standards of sustainability and efficiency. The company, founded in 2023, is developing a network of data centers in Spain and Portugal to meet the growing demand for storage and computing capacity, including artificial intelligence applications.
NxN Data Centers already has two confirmed data center projects in Spain, including one in Madrid that is expected to be operational by the end of October, and another project in Valencia that is currently under construction. The acquisition of the Évora data center marks the company's first investment in Portugal, where it aims to establish a significant presence in the data center market.
According to NxN, the Évora data center will enable the company to provide services to clients in Portugal and expand its offerings in the region. The company's entry into Portugal is seen as a significant development in the country's data center market, which is expected to grow in the coming years.
NxN Data Centers' expansion plans in Portugal are driven by the growing demand for data center services in the country. The company's investment in Évora and its plans for future developments are expected to contribute to the growth of the Portuguese data center market and support the country's digital economy.
