Digital Realty has entered the Portuguese market with the acquisition of a data center in Lisbon, which has a computing capacity of 2.4 MW. The facility, purchased for €7.1 million, is located near submarine cable landing points in Carcavelos.

This strategic acquisition aims to reduce latency and improve data access for clients, leveraging Portugal's unique position as a direct submarine connection to South America. The data center will complement Digital Realty's existing operations in Madrid and Barcelona and is projected to begin operations in early 2027. The move is part of the company's broader Iberian strategy and is supported by partnerships with major providers.
