Latsia, Cyprus. Cyta has signed an agreement to acquire the RedMax Data Centre in the Latsia Industrial Area as part of a strategic investment to expand Cyprus’ digital infrastructure and strengthen the country’s role as a regional data hub. The agreement also includes a phased expansion and upgrade of the facility.
Phased development plan
Development of the facility is set to proceed in phases, with the first phase expected to enter commercial operation in early 2027. Once completed, the project will become the largest privately owned data centre in Cyprus.
Expansion of services
Cyta said the investment is the next major step in the development of its data centre portfolio. The company said the new facility will significantly increase its ability to provide cloud services and equipment colocation on a larger scale to businesses, public sector bodies and international organisations.
The telecommunications provider said the data centre will substantially expand its capacity to host customers’ equipment and digital systems while providing access to modern, secure and reliable digital services.
Standards and energy use
According to Cyta, the data centre has been designed in line with internationally recognised standards for security, reliability and high availability. The facility will include advanced physical security and cybersecurity systems, obtain the required ISO certifications and use renewable energy sources to cover part of its electricity needs.
