Verne Global, a provider of sustainable data centre solutions for high-intensity computing, has announced that Ficolo Oy, which operates three sustainable-powered data centres in Finland, will now operate under the Verne Global brand.
Both companies are part of Triple Point’s Digital 9 Infrastructure plc (D9) portfolio of critical digital infrastructure assets and together will help meet growing customer demand for sustainable data centre services across multiple locations.
Ficolo brings 23MW of available data centre capacity to the Verne Global platform, with the potential to expand to 90MW across its three sites in Helsinki (the Air), Pori (the Rock) and Tampere (the Deck). All three facilities are powered by 100% sustainable energy sources – including Ficolo’s own solar power generation facility – and distribute surplus heat to district heating networks. The company offers colocation and connectivity services, in addition to a range of hybrid cloud services, with customers comprising both domestic and international organisations.
“Ficolo’s three campuses add significant capacity to the joint Verne Global data centre platform; together – and with D9’s backing – we are in a strong position to satisfy growing demand for sustainable and predictably priced data centre services, including from the hyperscalers,” said Dominic Ward, CEO, Verne Global. “In addition to being able to offer our customers the choice of four Nordic locations – all built with sustainability at their core – Ficolo’s expertise in hybrid cloud-based infrastructure services enables us to provide organisations with even more flexibility over how their applications are managed and supported.”
