Five-megawatt expansion on Profile Park campus opens as nearly half of Irish IT decision-makers remain optimistic on tech sector.
Digital Realty has announced the official opening of the second data centre on its Profile Park campus in Dublin, Ireland. The five-megawatt expansion provides new and existing customers on the Profile Park campus with additional runway for growth in the capacity-constrained Irish market. The new facility is located 30 minutes from Dublin's city centre, and provides maximum product flexibility with state-of-the-art power, cooling, connectivity, security and system redundancy.
The expansion of the Profile Park campus brings Digital Realty's total investment in Ireland to over €200 million, underscoring the company's commitment to the country and confidence in the long-term local demand. Recent research conducted by Censuswide on behalf of Digital Realty found that nearly half (47%) of Irish IT decision-makers are optimistic about the growth of the tech sector in Ireland. The survey of 250 senior Irish IT decision-makers revealed the areas they expect to have the biggest impact over the next five years include Brexit (56%), GDPR (36%), and the rollout of 5G (23%).
