Portus Data Centers (Portus) has announced plans for the further expansion of the IPHH Internet Port Hamburg data centre business acquired by Arcus European Infrastructure Fund 3 SCSp (AEIF3) on behalf of Portus in late 2023.
With two existing facilities in the east of Hamburg currently offering 2.4MW of sellable IT power capacity, Portus plans to construct a new data centre of approximately 14MW of IT power which will be built in phases, the first of which is planned for delivery in late Q4/2025. This follows the acquisition of a substantial plot of land and associated power adjacent to the existing data centre on the Wendenstrasse in Hamburg.
The new IPHH facility will benefit from the already dense connectivity profile of the current IPHH facilities, allowing straight forward access to existing networks and providers via a simple cross connect.
“We are delighted to be investing in the future growth of IPHH following today’s land and power acquisition announcement,” said Adriaan Oosthoek, Chairman of Portus Data Centers. “This is a further step in our buy-and-build regional data centre aggregation strategy where in all our current and future locations we plan to add further capacity to meet growing customer demand.”
IPHH’s growing customer base includes telecom carriers, global technology and social media companies and content distribution networks that rely on IPHH’s strong interconnection services.
