VIRTUS Expands Beyond Europe's Core Markets in Bold Data Center Push

- VIRTUS is building new data centers in secondary European cities like Milan, Madrid, and Berlin instead of only in major traditional hubs, betting that these tier-two locations will drive future growth.
- Europe's data center capacity is expected to roughly double from 2025 to 2030, with nearly half of all new capacity coming from these secondary markets rather than traditional centers.
- The company is using a strategy of building large campuses with 200-500MW capacity near (but not in) major cities and powered by renewable energy to meet skyrocketing demand from AI and cloud computing.
VIRTUS Data Centres is shifting its expansion strategy away from Europe's traditional major hubs toward secondary markets that offer more space, better power access, and lower costs. This reflects a broader industry recognition that Europe's established data center locations are reaching capacity limits due to surging demand from artificial intelligence and digital services, forcing companies to build in tier-two cities instead.
