nLighten has acquired seven edge data centres from EXA Infrastructure.
With the new acquisition, nLighten European portfolio portfolio will now extend into Belgium, Switzerland and Spain, as well as adding additional sites in existing markets it has a presence in, including Germany, France, the UK and the Netherlands.
“The digital landscape is undergoing rapid transformation, particularly as the demand for artificial intelligence continues to soar across industries. This dynamic landscape offers many opportunities for digital infrastructure, but also requires robust and scalable data centre solutions,” said Harro Beusker, co-founder and CEO of nLighten.
“By expanding our European operating base, nLighten customers will benefit from nLighten’s diverse portfolio, including a wide range of colocation, connectivity, and on-site services. This acquisition underscores nLighten’s commitment to empowering businesses across Europe with world-class data centre solutions and brings us closer to our goal of building and operating a leading European edge data centre platform,”
“This is the start of an exciting collaboration with our sister company, nLighten, as we each focus on our core competencies to better fulfil our missions. The sale allows EXA Infrastructure to exclusively focus on building and operating the mission critical network infrastructure that enables our customers’ growth., added Nick Collins, Chief Commercial Officer at EXA Infrastructure.
The acquisition of the news sites brings nLighten’s total number of European data centres to 34. Global infrastructure investor I Squared Capital is the parent company of both nLighten and EXA.
