Spanish data center firm Templus has acquired and launched a facility in Seville from local operator Espacio Rack.
“In Templus, we continue to grow with the purchase of the Espacio Rack data center in Seville, a key infrastructure that already serves more than 20 telecommunications operators and several companies,” the company said on LinkedIn this week and was first reported by ABC.
The terms of the deal were not shared.
The facility is located at Av. de Montes Sierra 48b in Seville’s PICA Business Park in Carretera Amarilla. Templus lists a Seville data center on its website, totaling 800kW across 370 sqm (3,980 sq ft).
As reported by DCD Spain, the facility was launched in 2001 and renovated in 2021. The site includes a rooftop solar deployment. Templus aims to expand the site to more than 1MW.
Templus was launched last year after ICG and Teras Capital acquired the data center business of Spanish telco Avatel. The company then acquired a data center from insurance firm Mapfe in Madrid, and recently acquired Spanish colo bitNAP from Cellnex, taking over a facility in Barcelona.
The company operates facilities across Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga, Seville, Mallorca, and Ceuta, totaling 15.8MW across more than 4,000 sqm (43,055 sq ft).
Templus said it aims to have 20 data centers in the Iberian Peninsula by the end of 2025 and has its “sights set” on Valencia, the Basque Country, and Galicia. It is also aiming to expand into Portugal.
Ignacio T. Velilla Rincón, Templus CEO, said: “Our goal is to buy data centers in different communities so that companies don’t have to move their IP far from their locations.”
Founded in 1998, colo provider Espacio Rack (which translates to Rack Space), still operates a 450 sqm (4,845 sq ft) data center in Madrid.
