AtlasEdge further expands its European platform with the acquisition of Datacenter One

AtlasEdge, a leading pan-European Edge data centre provider, has announced the acquisition of Datacenter One (DC1). The move furthers AtlasEdge’s expansion across Europe, with DC1 a leading data centre provider in Germany.

This acquisition will accelerate AtlasEdge’s expansion across Germany, a key strategic data centre market and Europe’s largest digital economy. The footprint of DC1’s purpose-built, high-quality facilities complements AtlasEdge’s existing operations in Berlin and Hamburg, increasing AtlasEdge’s capability to service customers across five regional German markets with significant ‘ready-to-sell’ capacity.

It also comes at a time when the first wave of Edge deployments is accelerating across Europe, with growing customer demand for digital infrastructure closer to the end-user driven by enterprises and larger platforms.

DC1’s industry-leading senior management team with a deep knowledge of the German market and a track record of successful development will remain unchanged following the transaction. Wolfgang Kaufmann, CEO, DC1, will also be joining AtlasEdge’s Management Team.

“This is a highly strategic transaction for AtlasEdge,” said Giuliano Di Vitantonio, CEO, AtlasEdge. “Germany is an important part of our expansion plans and a market that has seen customer demand rise across multiple metros. Acquiring DC1 transforms AtlasEdge into Germany’s leading distributed platform, with ready-to-sell capacity in key locations across the country. We look forward to working with our new colleagues and continuing to grow our footprint across the continent.”
