Equinix Settimo Milanese Campus

The Equinix Settimo Milanese Campus, located in the Metropolitan City of Milan, Italy, serves as a significant digital infrastructure hub for southern Europe's cloud, AI, and interconnection ecosystems. The campus has expanded from a single facility to a multi-building footprint, incorporating both Equinix's retail colocation (IBX®) and "xScale" hyperscale initiatives.

ML5, the flagship IBX data center, launched in 2021/2022 and offers approximately 45,000 sq ft of colocation space with 6MW of IT power and N+1 redundancy. It is a network-dense location in Milan, hosting a primary MIX (Milan Internet Exchange) Point of Presence (PoP) and offering virtual interconnection to cloud hyperscalers via Equinix Fabric.

ML7x, an Equinix xScale® facility opened in 2024, provides 19.2 MW of IT capacity across 6,000 sq meters, designed for large-scale cloud providers with advanced cooling for AI workloads.

ML8 and ML9, opened in late 2025, are part of the campus expansion, each targeting at least 20MW of IT power to meet regional cloud mandates.

ML10 is a next-generation xScale data center under development, focusing on sustainability and designed to meet strict environmental guidelines.
