HELSINKI: German company Hetzner Online AG on Tuesday announced its plans to situate a new data centre in Finland, said an official press release. The company is now also investing in the ongoing Cinia project to construct a submarine cable connection to Europe. The initial value of the contract is approximately EUR 10 millions.
According to an assessment by Hetzner Online, the key factors affecting the decision to situate operations in Finland are the price and reliable provision of energy, the ongoing Baltic Sea cable construction project, the cool Finnish climate and proximity to Russia. Strong connections are used to link the data centres in two geographical areas into a seamless complex that allows observing different user needs.
