Templus to Expand Madrid Facility to 20MW

Spanish data center firm Templus is to expand its facility in the Alcalá de Henares area of Madrid from the current 10MW to 20MW in the medium term.

The company's executives said during a ceremony, held this week at the facilities: "The process of increasing power is already underway with the construction of a new IT room that will be added to the two existing ones in order to increase and improve the services offered to the more than 250 companies that host their data in this infrastructure."

According to Félix de la Fuente, chief commercial officer of Templus: "Templus is a benchmark for connectivity in Spain, but also a boost to digitalization and the business fabric. We created a new concept: Nearby data centers. We seek to bring data to companies and not the other way around, so that a company anywhere in Spain has the same connectivity capabilities and therefore the same competitiveness as companies in London or Frankfurt."

Judith Piquet, Mayoress of Alcalá de Henares, who was also present at the event, emphasized during her presentation that "technology must have a public service vocation, bringing together companies and people. Data centers such as those at Templus make it possible to activate the economy, generate employment, and make strategic tools available to all companies to compete in the global market."
