InfraXmedia, a B2B media and events platform for the digital infrastructure industry and the parent company of DatacenterDynamics (DCD) and Yotta events, has announced its acquisition of London-based Data Center Nation (DCN).
Founded in 2021, DCN has quickly established itself as a key player in national data centre ecosystems across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), with flagship events in Milan, Warsaw, Zurich, Dubai, and Riyadh.
By focusing on the specific requirements of emerging data centre hubs, DCN has created value for stakeholders in geographies that present favourable conditions to develop sovereign cloud, IoT, and AI-ready data centres.
“Data Center Nation’s agile approach to data centre events perfectly complements InfraXmedia’s international network and other market-leading brands,” said Davide Ortisi, CEO at Data Center Nation, who will continue to lead the business. “The partnership will boost DCN’s portfolio of existing events as well as support new launches to help buyers better connect with sellers in a time of pressure for the data centre supply chain globally.”
“We are delighted to continue developing the InfraXmedia platform to better serve our customers and global audiences at a time of unprecedented investment into the data centre, networks and other parts of the digital infrastructure ecosystem,” said George Rockett, managing partner, InfraXmedia and founder of DatacenterDynamics.
“We look forward to working with Davide and the team to support future growth opportunities.”
DatacenterDynamics has been connecting digital infrastructure buyers and sellers for 25 years and reaches 15 million data center professionals every year and claims to be the most-read data centre publication globally.
The acquisition of DCN should strengthen DCD’s presence in emerging markets.
“This acquisition represents a significant step in furthering our vision to develop a more data-driven business model that connects the right people at the right time and that is more reflective of the trillion-dollar industry we serve,” said Jose Friebel, chief growth officer at DCD and InfraXmedia.
