Announcing a new AI-optimized data center in Southern Europe

Good news for businesses operating in Southern Europe! Our newest cloud regions in Sines, Portugal, give you faster, more local access to the infrastructure you need to run advanced AI, ML, and HPC workloads across the Iberian Peninsula and wider region. Sines-2 marks the first region launched in partnership with Northern Data Group, signaling a new chapter in delivering powerful, workload-optimized infrastructure across Europe. And Sines-3 expands capacity and availability for the region.

Strategically positioned in Portugal, Sines-2 and Sines-3 enhance coverage in Southern Europe, providing a lower-latency option for customers operating in or targeting this region. With the explosive growth of AI, machine learning, and compute-intensive workloads, these new regions are designed to meet escalating demand with cutting-edge GPU and storage capabilities.

Built for AI, designed to scale

Sines-2 and Sines-3 bring with them next-generation infrastructure features, purpose-built for today's most demanding workloads:

  • NVIDIA H100 GPUs: Unlock the full potential of AI/ML training, high-performance computing (HPC), and rendering workloads with access to H100 GPUs.
  • VAST NFS (file sharing protocol) support: Benefit from scalable, high-throughput file storage ideal for data-intensive operations, research, and real-time AI workflows.
  • IaaS portfolio: Deploy Virtual Machines, manage storage, and scale infrastructure with the same consistency and reliability as in our flagship regions.

Organizations operating in Portugal, Spain, and nearby regions can now deploy workloads closer to end users, improving application performance. For finance, healthcare, public sector, and other organisations running sensitive workloads that must stay within a country or region, Sines-2 and Sines-3 are easy ways to access state-of-the-art GPUs with simplified compliance. Whether you're building AI models, running simulations, or managing rendering pipelines, Sines-2 and Sines-3 offer the performance, capacity, availability, and proximity you need.
