Founded in 2006 in France, Data4 is a company specializing in the development, construction and operation of data centers. The group provides the digital infrastructure that enables enterprises, cloud providers, telecommunications operators and public organizations to host and process large volumes of data securely.
Operating in the fast-growing digital infrastructure sector, Data4 has expanded its footprint across Europe, with campuses located in France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Germany and Greece. The company focuses on several strategic areas, including cloud computing, artificial intelligence, connectivity and sustainable infrastructure.
A major milestone in Data4’s development came with its integration into Brookfield, one of the world’s largest infrastructure investors. The backing of Brookfield has enabled the company to accelerate its expansion plans and increase investment in next-generation facilities designed to meet rising demand for computing power.
Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Olivier Micheli, Data4 has pursued a strategy centered on growth, innovation and sustainability. The company has expanded both its geographic presence and its technical capabilities as organizations increasingly rely on digital services and cloud-based technologies.
The emergence of artificial intelligence has further strengthened demand for data center capacity. AI applications require significant computing resources, prompting operators such as Data4 to develop larger and more powerful infrastructures capable of supporting high-performance workloads.
Alongside growth, environmental considerations have become a key focus for the company. Data4 has invested in initiatives aimed at improving energy efficiency and exploring solutions for recovering and reusing waste heat generated by its facilities.
Today, Data4 is considered one of Europe’s leading data center operators. While largely invisible to end users, its infrastructure supports a wide range of digital services and technologies that have become essential to modern economic activity.
