Posted on 01/15/2023
London is the largest of the FLAP (Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, and Paris) data center markets.
DigitalBridge (Digital Bridge Holdings LLC) owns Vantage Data Centers, a hyperscale data center operator. DigitalBridge bought the company from Silver Lake Partners for over US$ 1 billion in 2017.
Vantage Data Centers announced its entrance into London with the development of a 48MW £500 million campus. In addition, the company has opened a second 40MW data center on its existing Cardiff campus. Situated on nearly five acres (two hectares) in the PowerGate neighborhood of North Acton, an established data center community in the northwest part of the city, Vantage’s London campus will total 430,000 square feet (40,000 square meters) across two 24MW multi-story data centers once fully developed. The first facility will open its doors to hyperscale customers and cloud providers in late 2024, which will mark Vantage’s 11th campus in EMEA. In December 2021, Vantage opened a corporate office in the Farringdon district of Central London to support the company’s scaling operations across EMEA.
