CyrusOne: MIL2 - Milan Data Center
About MIL2 - Milan Data Center
The MIL2 Data Center is a planned hyperscale facility by CyrusOne in the Milan metropolitan area, one of Southern Europe’s most strategic digital infrastructure markets. Designed to support growing demand for cloud, enterprise, and hyperscale deployments, MIL2 will expand CyrusOne’s presence in Italy and strengthen connectivity across key European data center corridors.
Strategically located in the greater Milan region, the facility will benefit from proximity to major business districts, international connectivity routes, and transport infrastructure, including access to Malpensa Airport and key fiber networks linking Milan to major hubs such as Frankfurt, Zurich, and Marseille. The development is intended to provide scalable, high-performance infrastructure for organizations requiring resilient capacity in Italy’s primary economic center.
MIL2 is being designed to support next-generation workloads, including high-density compute, AI applications, and cloud platforms, with a focus on efficiency, scalability, and operational resilience.
