Stokab: Kista Data Centre

Located in the Kista district of Stockholm—Europe’s prominent ICT hub—AB Stokab’s Kista data centre (commonly referenced as “Stokab Kista” at 15 Borgarfjordsgatan, Kista) offers a strategic infrastructure node for Nordic and international connectivity. 

Operating under the umbrella of AB Stokab, a city-owned fibre network provider in Stockholm, this facility is positioned at the convergence of dense fibre routes, major carrier interconnects and the heart of Sweden’s tech cluster. 

Its location in Kista provides proximity to Stockholm’s metro and business district, and benefits from the region’s mature digital infrastructure. The facility is well-suited for organisations seeking an East-West European gateway or Nordic base with access to high capacity fibre, low-latency networking, and the Scandinavian power and cooling environment.

⚙️ Facility Highlights

• The data centre is served by AB Stokab’s dense fibre network infrastructure, offering fully diverse routes into the facility. 
• While detailed publicly-verified power capacity and rack-density figures are not disclosed for this specific site, the facility is positioned within a competitive Stockholm market where high-density deployments are supported and fibre connectivity is a core strength.
• The Kista facility benefits from Stockholm’s “Stockholm Data Parks” initiative, meaning it sits in a zone intended for high-efficiency and sustainable data-centre operations (including heat reuse, green power sourcing). 
• Modular and carrier-neutral colocation set-up means customers can access both small-scale and large-scale deployments, with flexibility to scale via the interconnection-rich environment.

🔐 Security & Compliance

• The facility is served by Stokab’s network operations and infrastructure management protocols: access to fibre cross-connects is controlled, monitoring is in place, and redundant physical infrastructure is used. 
• Although specific independent certifications (e.g., ISO 27001, PCI-DSS) for the Kista site were not publicly disclosed in the sources found, the facility is located within a highly regulated Sweden / EU environment, benefiting from strong national standards for data-centre reliability and security.

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

• The Kista data centre is directly integrated with a dense fibre network operated by AB Stokab—covering thousands of fibre pairs, with “at least two completely diverse fibre routes” into the centre.
• It is situated within Stockholm’s network-dense Kista/Akalla cluster, which is host to many carriers, cloud providers and IX/peering platforms — offering low-latency access to Scandinavia, Europe and global peers. 
• The carrier-neutral nature of the site, plus proximity to major network meet-points (including the Stockholm Internet eXchange), enables customers to access a rich ecosystem of transit, peering, dark fibre and interconnection services. 

💼 Who It Serves

• Cloud and SaaS providers needing a Nordic foothold with high-performance connectivity and access to European markets.
• Telecoms, carriers and network operators seeking a carrier-hotel or interconnect-rich environment in Stockholm, with dark fibre and dense peering options.
• Enterprises with mission-critical infrastructure or disaster-recovery / geo-redundant deployments requiring stable power, cooling and connectivity in a regulated European jurisdiction.
• Content-delivery networks (CDNs), media providers and high-bandwidth users benefiting from low-latency access and multiple fibre routes.
• Organisations aiming to leverage sustainable data-centre operations, including heat-reuse and green energy frameworks, as offered by the Stockholm Data Parks initiative.
