Data center in the Helsinki Ring of Industry – how cool is that!

Hetzner Data Center Park Helsinki has been growing non-stop in the past five years, and now inlcudes five rows of buildings, which house a total of ten data center units, and seven of those are already in active use. Each building measures approximately 4,000 square meters and consists of two data center units, and has capacity for up to 30,000 servers. All in all, the 150,000 square meter campus has space in the future for up to twenty data centers.

 “Our 50-man team takes care of customers from all over the world — customers who benefit from paying reduced monthly prices on a wide range of our products. These low prices are cost savings that we pass directly onto our customers; they come from the reduced energy prices that we pay in Finland compared to Germany, and also come from the colder climate and lower cooling requirements,” said Christian Fitz, the company spokesman.

The investment is in response to Finland’s growing demand for high performance, sustainable computing, and fast and reliable access to Microsoft services. The new datacenter region announced today will play a pivotal role in accelerating the digital transformation of the government, businesses, customers, and partners across Finland.

“Finland is at the forefront of digitalization and innovation, and the nation’s world-class companies and forward-looking public sector organizations are leading in the digital transformation of their sectors. We are incredibly proud of the novel way this datacenter will sustainably power Finnish digital transformation, while also heating Finnish homes and businesses and helping cities achieve their emissions targets,” said Cindy Rose, President of Microsoft Western Europe.
