DATA4 Group Dedicated buildings, (on request) on Colocation

Dedicated buildings at DATA4 represent the most advanced option in the portfolio, where a customer receives an entire custom designed data center on a campus rather than just space inside an existing facility. Drawing on more than a decade and a half of experience in the design and operation of data centers, DATA4 offers to deliver a dedicated building in roughly nine months, designed around the client requirements for redundancy, power density, cooling technologies and security controls. These dedicated buildings are typically sized around an electrical capacity of 4 MW, and are engineered to plug directly into the wider campus infrastructure, including carrier rooms, meet me rooms, high capacity power feeds and integrated monitoring systems. The result is a facility that feels like a standalone data center from the customer perspective while still benefiting from pre developed land, shared campus utilities, and established connectivity routes to major carriers and internet exchange points. This level of solution is aimed at hyperscale cloud providers, very large digital platforms, financial institutions and other organisations with strict regulatory, sovereignty or performance requirements that justify controlling every aspect of the IT building. Customers can shape the internal layout of the data halls, define the redundancy model and cooling approach, and coordinate closely with DATA4 engineering teams on how the building will evolve over the life of the contract. As with the other tiers of service, technical, power and commercial parameters are defined on request during a detailed design phase and formalised in a bespoke contract, rather than through standard price lists or click to buy offers.

DATA4 colocation and dedicated infrastructure solutions are delivered on large European campuses that combine electrical power reserves, connectivity and support services in a single environment. Each campus brings together highly connected carrier and cloud ecosystems, dark fibre and Ethernet links between sites, and access to more than seventy telecom operators and over one hundred and fifty public cloud destinations, so even a single rack can be integrated into complex hybrid or multi cloud architectures. Customers rely on 24x7 access controls, on site security teams, video surveillance and strict badge based access lists to protect their environments, while logistics options such as shared or dedicated offices, meeting rooms and staging areas make it easier for engineers to work close to the IT rooms. A dedicated customer portal based on ITIL concepts centralises service requests, remote hands tasks, access management, incident tracking and capacity and environmental dashboards, helping teams manage distributed infrastructures without keeping staff permanently on site. Across campuses in France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Germany and Greece, the platform is promoted as a hyper connected, resilient and environmentally responsible choice for long term digital growth, with attention paid to energy performance indicators and the environmental footprint of both building infrastructure and hosted IT equipment.
