KevlinX's Brussels Data Center

According to the statement, this facility will serve a wide range of data centre customers in the Brussels-Capital Region while addressing the growing demand for data centre infrastructure in Europe, requiring flexible colocation or dedicated wholesale space with the highest standards in redundancy, security and energy efficiency.
Macquarie Capital said, "We are pleased to partner with PMV and KevlinX to realize this critical infrastructure for Belgium, and through our investment, we intend to support KevlinX in delivering on their project pipeline as they embark on an exciting period of growth across Europe."
