Seznam.cz: Nagoya Data Center

Nagoya Data Center is a data center facility operated for Seznam.cz, a.s. in Benátky nad Jizerou, Czech Republic. Seznam identifies Nagoya as its second proprietary data center and states that it is located on Průmyslová Street in Benátky nad Jizerou, near Exit 27 of the D10 motorway. A Mapy.com location entry for the facility lists the site as Průmyslová 1012, 294 71 Benátky nad Jizerou II, Czechia.

Benátky nad Jizerou sits northeast of Prague within the wider Central Bohemian economic corridor, giving the site geographic separation from the capital while preserving practical access to the Prague metro and national network routes. Seznam positions Nagoya as a core part of its owned infrastructure platform alongside Kokura, supporting resilience, energy efficiency, and continued expansion of the company’s digital service capacity.
