Penta Infra, a portfolio company of Photon Capital, acquires KPN datacenter in the Metropolitan region Amsterdam
Photon Capital announces the acquisition of the KPN datacenter in Haarlem by its portfolio company Penta Infra, a fast-growing provider of reliable, sustainable, and highly connected edge and core datacenters in Europe. The facility was previously owned by KPN for their hosting and datacenter services and is currently limited in its use.
Penta Infra currently operates a portfolio of 11 datacenters in Germany, France, Denmark and The Netherlands. The acquisition of the carrier and cloud neutral KPN datacenter establishes Penta Infra’s presence in the metropolitan region Amsterdam and will expand its footprint in the Dutch market, which is part of Penta Infra’s long term strategy to expand its pan-European portfolio of edge and core datacenters. KPN will remain a tenant in the location so that they can ensure continuity for their network division while Penta Infra redevelops the other rooms into state-of-the-art IT rooms for colocation customers.
Photon Capital is proud to witness another milestone in our portfolio company, Penta Infra. The acquisition of this new datacenter fits well with the long term strategy of the company and complements their existing portfolio. We will continue to look for add-on acquisitions in the European market, like this one, to accelerate the growth of Penta Infra.
