Portus Data Centers announces planned delivery of new Hamburg site

Portus Data Centers has announced the planned availability of its new data centre (IPHH4) located on the IPHH Internet Port Hamburg Wendenstrasse campus.

Construction work will begin in the first quarter of 2025 and be completed in the fourth quarter of 2026 (Phase 1). The Tier III+ data centre is designed for a PUE of 1.2 or under and will have a total IT load of 12.8MW (2 infrastructures each 6.4MW).

With a data centre area (white space) of 6,380m² (3,190m² per building), the grid connection capacity is 20.3MVA. The facility is already fully compliant with the new EnEfG requirements and liquid cooling will be available for High Performance Computing (HPC).

The IPHH data centre business was acquired by Arcus European Infrastructure Fund 3 SCSp (“AEIF3”) on behalf of Portus last year. In addition to IPHH4, adjacent to the existing IPHH3 data centre at the main Wendenstrasse location, IPHH operates two other facilities in Hamburg.

“With the benefit of significant investment by Arcus under the Portus Data Centers umbrella, I am excited to see the accelerated transformation and expansion of the IPHH operation. IPHH4 will be fully integrated into the virtual campus of IPHH2 and IPHH3 and therefore the ideal interconnect location in Hamburg. With around 50 carriers and network operators, just a standard cross connect away, IPHH4 will be a major and highly accessible interconnection hub,” said Sascha E. Pollok, CEO of IPHH.

Adriaan Oosthoek, Chairman of Portus Data Centers, added: “The rapid expansion of IPHH is testament to our mission to establish Portus Data Centers as a major regional force in Germany and adjacent markets. Our buy-and-build regional data centre aggregation strategy is focused on ensuring our current and future locations are equipped with the capacity and connectivity required to meet customer demand.”

IPHH’s growing customer base includes telecom carriers, global technology and social media companies and content distribution networks that rely on IPHH’s strong interconnection services. Aligning with Arcus’ commitment to ensuring that its investments have a positive ESG impact, energy consumed by IPHH’s data centres is certified as being 100% renewably sourced. IPHH’s highly efficient facilities currently provide a power usage effectiveness ratio of c. 1.3x which is subject to continuous improvement as part of Portus’ ongoing commitment to optimising its ESG policies and practices.
