Vantage Data Centers has announced it will open a second Zurich campus later this summer.
The campus is located 30 km north of Glattfelden, Zurich and 20 km from Vantage’s ZRH1 campus in Winterthur.
ZRH2 will have a total of 21,000 sqm of space and provide 24 MW of IT capacity, offering a total of 64 MW capacity when combined with ZRH1.
“Zurich is a rapidly growing data centre market due to its strategic central location and its global financial leadership, and we expect to continue developing in this market based on customer demand,” said David Howson, president of Vantage Data Centers, EMEA.
“Across Europe and the globe, the demand for highly efficient, hyperscale data centres is booming to meet the needs of next generation applications, from powerful AI models to high-performance computing and cloud transformation. Vantage is prepared to meet that demand for current and new customers, and we look forward to opening the doors of our latest data centre this summer.”
Vantage will be utilising air source (ASHP) and water source (WSHP) heat pumps at the site, which will convert waste heat for use to condition administrative spaces and reduce external energy use. ZRH2 will also provide waste heat to a nearby hotel and seminar centres.
