Brussels: A rising data centre hub Brussels is emerging as a significant data centre hub in Europe thanks to its secure, central EU location. As well as this, its low-latency connectivity to key markets and direct access to major internet exchanges makes it the perfect home for Kevlinx’ s first facility.
Although the market is strong in data centre hubs like London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Paris, growing demand will mean emerging locations like Brussels will play a key role.
“ It is a changing market with a natural growth into new European regions,” Eric Boonstra shares.“ We need to keep building new data centres and there are many markets with strong potential – like Spain and Italy. These are locations we’ re looking at as well.
“ Brussels is perfectly situated in the heart of FLAPD – Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Paris and Dublin – with no major limitations around land, power or latency. It’ s a prime location and one we believe will become a key data centre market.”
Once completed, BRU01 will be the flagship colocation data centre in Belgium – located right in the heart of the city, near the European Union headquarters and the offices of the Brussels regional government.
