Telia Lietuva has announced that it is to invest EUR 10 million in the construction of a data center located in Raisteniškės, next to the Vilnius-Panevėžys highway. This facility will join two Telia Lietuva other data centers in Vilnius, which will mean it will be the largest data center infrastructure in the Baltic States. While the details regarding specification and size are yet to be released, reports reveal that it will use a modular design if the company wishes to pursue expansion in the future.

Commenting on the new facility, Daniel Karpovič, Head of Enterprise at Telia Lietuva, said: A significant increase in the need for IT services for businesses and public sector organizations during the pandemic has become a part of a new, digital economy, which in turn led to our decision to build a new, modern and sustainable data centre.”

He added: “Having connected three data centers located in different parts of Vilnius into a single infrastructure, we will gain an even greater competitive advantage and will be able to offer our customers unique IT solutions and even more security. Moreover, the Raisteniškės data center will be modular, so we will be able to expand its capacity in the future, thus balancing the activities of other data centers."
