Aruba S.p.A has officially inaugurated its Hyper Cloud Data Centre in Rome.
Located in the Tecnopolo Tiburtino area in eastern Rome, the first data centre on the campus is now operational – with the second due to open in the first half of 2025.
At full capacity, the campus will host five data centres offering a total of 30 MW of IT power, delivered with a redundancy level of 2N or over. Aruba Enterprise services are provided throughout the facility, including trust, cloud and managed services and consultancy for the construction of third-party data centres.
The data centre has recently obtained the ANSI/TIA-942-C Rating 4 certification, confirming adherence to the standard’s requirements for design, planning, and construction.
The campus will be built with a ‘green-by-design’ approach to ensure efficiency in all aspects of the infrastructure. The site will utilise photovoltaic systems and high-efficiency free-cooling systems.
“The activation of the Hyper Cloud Data Centre in Rome allows us to significantly increase the space and power capacity available to our customers in response to the rapid growth in consumption expected from the development of cloud and technologies such as artificial intelligence. By choosing Rome as the home of the campus we have strengthened the geographical coverage of our network and the location also supports the growing role of the capital as a strategic technology hub in Italy, balancing out the concentration in the Milan area,” said Stefano Cecconi, CEO of Aruba.
“This new campus is the result of our commitment to designing solutions that maximise reliability and efficiency, while minimising environmental impact.”
This new facility adds to the Aruba Groupnetwork, which includes the Global Cloud Data Centre in Ponte San Pietro (BG) and two data centres in Arezzo.
