Quadrivium Digital Genova

Quadrivium Digital GEN01, located in Genoa, Italy, is a significant data center facility with a total building area of 9,000m². It provides 12MW of IT power and offers Tier IV resilience for PFE hosting, alongside Tier III+ resilience for all interconnection and IT workloads.

The facility boasts dedicated cable landing infrastructure, including a borepipe capable of landing up to 8 new cable systems and two beach manholes each landing 4 cables. A 1.2km fronthaul delivers submarine cables directly into the interconnection data center, functioning as a Cable Landing-as-A-Service.

GEN01 acts as a carrier-neutral, open gateway into mainland Europe. Genoa already serves as a landing point for several transcontinental and regional submarine cable systems. The data center enables cable consortiums to land new cables and interconnect with submarine and terrestrial networks, DWDM gateways, content peering nodes, IXPs, and cloud on-ramps. It provides diversity and resiliency for new submarine cables connecting to Europe, serving as an alternative to Marseille.

Truly carrier-neutral and open, the facility hosts fibre pairs from multiple submarine cable systems and terrestrial carriers. Networks landing in Europe can choose from various terrestrial carriers for backhaul into FLAP metros, avoiding restrictions or forced traffic exchange in Milan. Additionally, GEN01 hosts two international IXPs, allowing carriers and networks to interconnect and exchange data within the facility without requiring further backhaul into remote data centers.
