The facility will, by design and capabilities, constitute a critical strategic infrastructure aimed at addressing the security, resilience, and technological sovereignty demands that define the current European digital agenda. All of this is happening while the development of its first project in Valencia, currently under construction, progresses in parallel.
NxN Data Centers CEO Javier Salas emphasized the scope of the project: “With this asset, NxN is taking a decisive step in its operational entry into Spain, and it is doing so in Madrid, one of the main digital hubs in Southern Europe. We are not simply deploying capacity; we are building critical infrastructure designed to guarantee the highest levels of security and operational continuity.”
The center, located near Juan Carlos I Park, has a total area of 8,500 m². This project is part of a broader investment plan for the development of a next-generation digital infrastructure network in Spain and Portugal, with a planned investment of up to €500 million over the next five years. This center is a strategic component of that plan.
As explained by the CEO of NxN Data Centers, “in a context where cybersecurity, resilience and technological autonomy have become structural priorities in Europe, our goal is to position NxN as a relevant player in building that digital foundation.”
For his part, Sergio Riolobos, CEO of NxN Data Centers, emphasized the asset's value to clients: “The center has been designed to exceed the most demanding technical and operational standards in the market. It is geared towards public administrations and companies that operate critical systems and require maximum levels of security, robustness, and high availability, from the industrial sector to logistics, finance, and defense.”
“In these environments, business continuity and protection against any contingency are not optional; they are an essential condition. That is the level of rigor with which we design and operate our infrastructures,” he added.
From a technical point of view, the center has been built under 2N redundancy principles in all its critical systems, including redundancy from the grid connection itself through two independent electrical connections of 7.5 MW each, aligning with Tier IV standards, the most demanding in the sector in resilience and availability.
Sustainability as a cornerstone of the project.
The center will operate under a highly efficient and sustainable energy model. As part of the modernization process, NxN will carry out a complete renovation of the climate control systems with the aim of making the facility one of the most efficient.
The new design will allow for a zero water consumption model in the cooling processes, completely eliminating the use of water resources and positioning the asset at the forefront of sustainability in the sector.
Capacity to meet new digital demands.
The facility has a total capacity of 15 MW, configured in a redundant 2N architecture to ensure maximum resilience and operational continuity. This capacity is designed to support the structural growth of demand and absorb high-density loads for artificial intelligence systems, intensive data processing, and critical digital services. This capability places the center in a privileged position within Europe's digital infrastructure landscape.
