Vantage Data Centers: Milan II Data Center Campus - Building 1
About Milan II Data Center Campus - Building 1
Building 1 is part of the Milan II Data Center Campus, Vantage Data Centers’ second development in northern Italy, expanding regional capacity to meet growing customer demand. Strategically located near Malpensa Airport with direct access to the A4 and A50 highways and rail links to Milan and other northern Italian hubs, the campus provides scalable infrastructure within one of Southern Europe’s most important business regions.
Situated on a two-acre (one-hectare) campus, Milan II is planned to deliver 32MW of critical IT load across two three-story data centers once fully developed, totaling approximately 108,000 square feet (10,000 m²). Building 1 benefits from resilient electrical systems, efficient cooling architecture, and diverse carrier connectivity designed for enterprise and high-density deployments.
The campus is designed to support power densities of up to 8kW per rack, enabling flexibility for modern IT environments and performance-driven workloads.
