Emitel, the Polish digital business owned by Cordiant Digital Infrastructure Ltd (LSE:CORD, FRA:86L), has acquired a data centre outside Warsaw as it enters the data centre market for the first time.
Cordiant Digital Infrastructure, the largest specialist digital infrastructure investor listed on the London Stock Exchange, said the facility has 2 megawatts of total IT load capacity with scope for future expansion.
The data centre has been built to Tier III+ reliability standards, as defined by the Uptime Institute, an industry body that certifies facility resilience, and currently offers co-location, cloud computing and data processing services to Polish and pan-European enterprise customers.
Cordiant described the move as a milestone for Emitel, which it said is Poland’s leading digital infrastructure and telecommunications provider.
Maciej Pilipczuk, chief executive of Emitel, said entering the data centre market was a natural evolution for the business and part of its strategy to become a leader in Poland’s digital transformation.
He added that the facility is positioned to serve customers operating within the Warsaw metropolitan area, with growing demand driven by technologies such as artificial intelligence that require increasing computing power.
Steven Marshall, executive chairman of Cordiant Digital Infrastructure Management, said the expansion reflects the strength of Emitel’s operational platform and rising demand for secure, scalable digital infrastructure across central and eastern Europe.
