AtlasEdge Data Centers: Hamburg 2 Data Center
About Hamburg 2 Data Center
AtlasEdge HAM002, also known as AtlasEdge – DC1 HAM002 Hamburg, is a carrier-neutral, modular data center located at Carl-Backhaus-Straße 21C, 22926 Ahrensburg, northeast of Hamburg. Positioned approximately 22 km from Hamburg Airport and just 150 m from a local bus stop, it offers excellent accessibility to both air and road transport networks. Operated by AtlasEdge, a joint venture of Liberty Global and DigitalBridge, this facility serves as part of the company’s edge-focused European infrastructure portfolio, supporting industries demanding low latency and high availability.
HAM002 is being developed in phases, with phase one covering ~3,500 m² (37,675 ft²) of data hall space, and full build-out expected to reach over 10,000 m² (107,640 ft²), with a total power capacity of 20 MW. This gives it strong scalability and supports mission-critical infrastructure deployments.
