At Cloud365, we love sharing good news, and this one is especially relevant for those looking for modern, secure, and highly connected hosting solutions.

Our partner AtlasEdge is rapidly advancing the construction of a new Tier 3-compliant, ISO 27001 certified Data Centre in Lisbon, powered 100% by renewable energy, scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2025.

This represents an investment of 500 million euros, which, in its first phase, will offer over 3,000 m² of technical space for shared hosting, with options ranging from a single rack to reserved areas (cages) or fully dedicated rooms for individual clients, with 20 MW of IT power capacity available.

This is a €500 million investment that will initially include over 3,000 m² of technical space prepared for various shared hosting solutions, ranging from a single rack to reserved areas (cages) and fully dedicated rooms for individual clients, with an installed power capacity of 20 MW.

At the same time, our partner COLT, recognized as one of the largest and most reliable international operators with a strong presence in Portugal, will ensure the connection of the Data Centre to its national and international network, guaranteeing a high level of quality and reliability in connectivity.

Use cases for the new Data Centre

This Data Centre has been designed to meet a wide range of needs, including:

• Hosting private infrastructure for medium and large enterprises
• Hosting disaster recovery (DR) environments
• Hosting infrastructure for managed service providers
• Hosting SaaS and PaaS infrastructures
• Hosting hardware for demanding workloads, such as IoT or AI, requiring low local latencies
• Hosting services that use and store sensitive data — perfect for sectors where data confidentiality is crucial or regulated (contact us to learn about the security certifications guaranteed by this Data Centre)

Additionally, Portugal’s strategic location in Europe makes it a great connectivity hub to Africa, South America, and soon the USA. Thanks to a new generation of submarine cables, this Data Centre ensures high bandwidth, redundancy, and reduced latency — ideal for services that supply or consume data from these regions.

Lisbon has faced a significant shortage of Data Center (DC) Colocation facilities in recent years, due to a substantial increase in demand. This scenario is about to change with new DCs under construction and the expansion of existing ones.

At Cloud365, we have established strategic alliances with three of the leading DC companies, which will, together, offer thousands of square meters of colocation space in the short term. Combined with our partnerships with telecommunications operators dedicated to the enterprise market, it allows Cloud365 to deliver comprehensive and integrated Colocation & Connectivity solutions.

Why should you consider colocate your IT infrastructure in an external Data Center? Here are some reasons that make this decision highly advantageous:

• Quality at a Competitive Cost: Access high-quality infrastructure with the flexibility to adjust space and energy consumption without the need for capital investment (CAPEX).
• Flexibility: From half a rack in a shared area to a private space with single or redundant power supply – the options are almost limitless.
• Trust: Leading Data Centers hold the security and privacy certifications required by Regulators and Clients.
• Security and Redundancy: Guarantee of physical and operational security, with various levels of access control and redundancy in power supply, cooling, fire suppression, etc.
• Advanced Connectivity: Major communications operators are also present in the leading DCs, providing a varied offer, competitive prices, and greater possibilities for operator redundancy.
• Connection to Public Clouds: Solutions for connectivity to public clouds (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc.) are available with high quality, flexibility, and competitive pricing.
• Connected Ecosystem: Easier connectivity with your business partners hosted in Data Centers, benefiting from an increasingly interconnected ecosystem (even among DCs operated by different companies).
