Retelit S.p.A.: Retelit Bozen Data Center
About Retelit Bozen Data Center
The Retelit Bozen Data Center (also known as BZBCOM), located at Via Pacinotti 12, Bolzano (Bozen), Italy, is part of Retelit’s nationwide network of data centers.
Operated by Retelit, a leading Italian ICT provider, it serves as a regional facility offering colocation solutions, especially targeting OTT, media, and telecommunications operators.
Its strategic significance comes from its location in South Tyrol—a northern Italian region near the border with Austria—making it well positioned for cross-border connectivity, alpine redundancy, and serving both national Italian and trans-European traffic flows. It complements Retelit’s more expansive hubs (e.g., the Avalon Campus in Milan) by offering a smaller, focused facility suitable for providers needing localized infrastructure.
