Ardent to purchase new data center facilities across US and UK

Ardent Data Centers recently revealed its plans to acquire three data centers as part of a €110 million investment plan. The company mentioned it has successfully agreed letters of intent with two sites in the US and is the preferred bidder on a third in the UK. Once all three sites are acquired, the company mentioned that they will be upgraded and retrofitted to feature purpose-built liquid cooling technology.

Corey Needles, Ardent Data Centers MD, said, "We are focused on building the most efficient, future-ready network of HPC colocation capacity in the market. These sites will represent an important next step in the expansion of our portfolio and are the most recent in a series of investments across strategic locations, with more to come. Powering the next generation of HPC innovation is central to Northern Data Group's strategy, and scaling Ardent's data center portfolio is core to realizing this ambition."

Aroosh Thillainathan, Northern Data Group CEO, added, "The rapid progress being made by the Ardent team will support Northern Data Group in providing the infrastructure required to fully capitalize on the vast opportunity in the HPC market. This is a further demonstration of our ability to relentlessly pursue growth opportunities, delivering value for stakeholders, and further establishes our position as a leader in this global industry."
