Sparkle, the first international service provider in Italy and among the top ten global operators, this week announced the launch of Metamorfosis II, the first “green” data center in Greece and one of the largest and most advanced in Europe.
With this addition, Sparkle now operates four open data centers in Greece: three in Athens - where the proprietary metropolitan fiber optic network is originated, running through the city business district and directly interconnecting corporate customers and institutional entities - and one in Chania, with a total area of 14,000 sq. m. and 13.7 MW of power.
All data centers are fully integrated with Nibble, Sparkle’s pan-Mediterranean optical network, and with Sparkle's Tier-1 global backbone Seabone, to deliver high speed connectivity services as well as access to major cloud providers. Moreover, thanks to their open and resilient configuration, Sparkle data centers offer a rich ecosystem of interconnected players for domestic and international connectivity.
Sparkle’s data centers are designed to provide customers with sustainable, secure and best-in-breed infrastructures for their mission-critical IT systems while providing fast and reliable connectivity to the world.
In addition, Metamorfosis II adopts the latest energy-efficient power and cooling systems available in the market resulting in a carbon footprint reduction of around 28,000 tons per year.

With this new opening, Sparkle enriches its infrastructural offer for national and international enterprises while confirming the attention for the Greek market in which we have been active for twenty years with an increasing presence.
