European cloud provider Scaleway has brought two availability zones (AZs) online for its Italy cloud region.

The cloud region originally opened in March 2026, with just one AZ located in the Settimo Milanese area of Milan. The two new zones are in separate data centers located in Basiglio and Milan.

The company said in its announcement: "With three geographically separate and independent zones, Milan becomes a fully fledged cloud region, offering enterprise-grade resilience."

Elsewhere, Scaleway is planning to expand its capacity across Europe in 2027. This will include the opening of three availability zones in Stockholm, Sweden, and three additional AZs in Frankfurt, Germany.

The company also has operating regions in France, Poland, and the Netherlands.

The expansion plans were announced by Scaleway during its AI-Pulse 2026 event. Also revealed at the event was the company's GPU capacity launches in both Sweden and Copenhagen.

With those new GPU deployments, the company now has AI capacity in Paris, Copenhagen, and Stockholm, and the company says this will eventually "represent tens of thousands of GPUs, tens of exaflops of computing power and tens of megawatts of capacity."

Earlier this year, Scaleway announced it was working with VSORA and ZML on the development of a new European AI inference offering based on the Jotunn8 processor. VSORA is a French semiconductor company specializing in AI inference processors, and the Jotunn8 processor is currently in manufacturing. The chips, when deployed in a formation of eight within the YMIR inference server, offer 25.6 petaflops of compute with 2.3TB of memory and a TDP of 9kW.
