LONDON, Sept. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Colt Data Centre Services (DCS) today announced that its hyperscale data centre in West Frankfurt has secured customer commitments for 25.2MW of IT power bringing the site to full capacity. This pre-letting comes sixteen months prior to operational commencement of the Frankfurt West facility and marks oneof the largest in the European data centre market to date and is further testament to Colt DCS' dedicated expertise in the Hyperscale Data Centre market.
Frankfurt West is one of many hyperscale facilities to join the list of Colt DCS' hyperscale data centres currently in development around the world, which include a 100MW facility in Mumbai, India as well as a 40MW facility in Osaka, Japan.
