European data centre provider Penta Infra has acquired its debut edge facility in the Nordics after striking a deal with Sentia Denmark.
Financial details were not disclosed.
Sentia has sold its Danish data centre in Smedeland, Glostrup, to facilitate its continued focus on cloud services, allowing Penta to enter the Danish market.
Alex Bakker, partner and founder at Penta Infra, said: 'We are excited to team up with such a high-quality managed service provider collectively servicing clients across Denmark.
'We are proud of Sentia's confidence in Penta to run this mission-critical facility. For Penta, this acquisition perfectly fits our strategy in expanding our European service offering to Denmark and adds another site to our existing edge facilities in Germany and the Netherlands.
'Entering a new market in the Nordics is the next step in Penta’s strategy in the creation of a European data centre network.'
Cloud services specialist Sentia Denmark operates its own Sentia Cloud, as well as working as the premium partner of Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud. Sentia acquired the Smedeland data centre in 2016.
Jakob Høholdt, managing director of Sentia Denmark, said: 'Operating a data centre is not Sentia's core business. Therefore, we have decided to divest this line of business and forge a partnership with Penta Infra, who has the right capabilities for and focus on running a data centre.
'By selling our data centre, we aim to achieve a synergy that will benefit our customers. We are very happy with this deal and look forward to a close partnership for many years to come.'
