Tieto says the first two 5,400 sq ft modules are due to come online by the end of 2010, with enough room to add 10 additional modules of equivalent size.
Tieto operates 15 data centers, mostly in Finland and Sweden, and when the new facility reaches full build-out it will double its data center footprint in the Helsinki metropolitan area. "It is important for our customers that certain IT operations remain close to them geographically," says Ari Karppinen, Tieto's country head for Finland. "Modern data centre technology will enable full-scale production of cloud computing services."
Tieto targets mid-size and large enterprises in northern Europe, Germany and Russia, providing a range of IT infrastructure outsourcing services. Tieto's initial investment in the Espoo project is Ôé¼18m, which the company estimates will cover the land and first two modules. Its other construction projects are in Sweden and Russia, where both new data centers are slated for launch in spring 2010.
