The Vienna data center market has emerged as a high-potential alternative for major hyperscale customers, particularly as the more mature FLAP-D1 markets continue to face supply-side bottlenecks in the form of limited land availability and energy constraints. Vienna’s strategic location enables it to serve as a gateway connecting Western and Eastern continental Europe, with the potential to act as a key common node in availability zones connecting both halves of continental Europe.
Vienna’s attractiveness as a growing data center hub in Europe is compounded by several other key factors.
Approximately 80% of the city’s electricity is generated from renewable sources, primarily hydropower. Additionally, water supply is abundant due to nearby mountain springs. Vienna also has extensive fibre and connectivity infrastructure, and hosts the Vienna Internet Exchange which connects several international carriers. Lastly, Vienna is one of the wealthiest cities in Europe, with a GDP of over US$121.1 billion.
VIE1 Data Center (“VIE1”) – Computerstrasse 4, Vienna
VIE1 is situated in the Favoriten district, which is well-served by an extensive public transportation network, providing convenient access to various parts of Vienna. VIE1 is also well-served by several local roadways such as the B17 that connect to larger highways such as the A23, linking VIE1 to the city centre. VIE1 is a key location in the East-West European cloud infrastructure, being a node within an Availability Zone (AZ) for a global cloud service provider.
