The strategic location of the MXP2 campus in Castelletto, just 15 kilometers from central Milan, will host two cutting-edge data centers providing a total of 32MW of critical IT capacity. Spanning around 10,000 square meters, this development is expected to be operational by spring 2026.
Vantage Data Centers’ decision to expand into Greater Milan reflects a calculated move, as highlighted by David Howson, President of EMEA. The city’s robust fiber network and proximity to major European hubs like Zurich, Frankfurt, and Munich make it an attractive destination for hyperscale growth.
Building on the success of their MXP1 campus, Vantage is committed to delivering sustainable data center solutions that support cloud and AI technologies. The establishment of MXP2 further solidifies their dedication to the Italian market and reinforces their position as a key player in the industry.
The significance of Vantage’s development plans has been acknowledged by the Italian Government, recognizing them as strategic infrastructure investments crucial for economic growth. This program is expected to bring in billions of euros in investments, creating thousands of jobs and contributing to the country’s digital transformation.
Emphasizing sustainability, MXP2 incorporates various nature-based solutions to manage stormwater efficiently and enhance the local ecosystem. Through initiatives like vertical greenery and permeable surfaces, Vantage showcases its commitment to environmental conservation.
With the combined capacity of MXP1 and MXP2, Vantage Data Centers will provide 96MW of IT capacity, catering to tech giants and playing a pivotal role in Italy’s digital evolution and economic landscape.
