Why organisations choose our Croatia data centre

AI-ready infrastructure

DC North provides the resilient infrastructure modern businesses depend on. With 2,000 m² of net technical space, up to 4 MW of power capacity and expansion potential to 10 MW from the incoming grid supply, the facility is designed to grow alongside your business.

Whether you’re running enterprise applications or deploying high-density AI workloads, DC North provides the power, flexibility and resilient infrastructure to meet evolving performance requirements.

Compliance made simple

Meeting international standards starts with the right infrastructure. DC North is certified to both Uptime Tier III Design and Facility Certification levels and was the first data centre in Croatia to achieve the latter. Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) alignment supports financial institutions and other highly regulated organisations by strengthening cybersecurity, ICT risk management, incident response and operational continuity.

This commitment to compliance is reinforced by certifications including ISO 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 20000, as well as PCI DSS compliance, which demonstrates adherence to strict security requirements for handling, processing and storing payment card data. Together, these standards help reduce risk, simplify compliance and build trust.

Direct connectivity to exchange points in Austria, Hungary and Slovenia provides strong regional reach, while the site’s location in a seismically stable zone (MCS VII) and its 100-year flood-free record offer a naturally resilient environment for critical infrastructure. Together, these advantages help reduce risk and support operational continuity.
