The Dolomites in the Italian Alps are to be home to Intacture, Europe''s very first digital data centre being built deep inside the active underground San Romedio mine.
A project to develop a data center in a mine has launched in the Italian Alps. Trentino DataMine and its partners this week announced work had started to install a facility in an active mine
Developed inside a dolomite mine operated by sustainable construction specialist Tassullo, Intacture is designed to serve as a cutting-edge digital infrastructure hub, providing a
The 5MW facility will host approximately 1,000 racks and is set to support colocation services starting in 2026. The result of a collaboration between the University of Trento and the
Major system elements are already in place and new, optimized devices are under development. Most of the presented distribution architectures concepts presented here have been adopted and verified in
A subterranean data center in Trentino cuts energy use and boosts security, redefining sustainability in digital infrastructure.
The simple answer is, no. Due to the characteristics of mines, the sheer volume of rock above means electromagnetic waves will be impenetrable which, alongside the advanced levels of
A unique data center in the Italian Alps will soon share space with dolomite extraction and quarries storing apples, wine, and cheeses. Construction began this month at the San Romedio mine
Trentino DataMine is developing a data center inside an active dolomite mine, operated by Tassullo. Full details on the project (funded by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan) and the
While data centres are traditionally built in industrial parks or remote open-air facilities, this mine-based project presents a new model for operators dealing with energy constraints, land
