Vianova: Vianova Data Center – Massarosa (Lucca)
About Vianova Data Center – Massarosa (Lucca)
The Vianova Data Center – Massarosa (Lucca) is a carrier-neutral colocation facility operated by Vianova S.p.A., located in Massarosa, in the province of Lucca, Tuscany, Italy. Positioned in central Italy, the facility serves enterprises and service providers requiring secure, resilient infrastructure with geographic diversity from major metropolitan data center markets such as Milan and Rome.
The Massarosa data center is a core component of Vianova’s dual-site architecture, operating in conjunction with the Vianova Data Center – Pisa. The two facilities are interconnected via a high-capacity, redundant fiber ring, enabling business continuity, disaster-recovery, and high-availability configurations. The site is designed to support enterprise IT and connectivity-driven workloads rather than hyperscale cloud operations.
