Everything we do, from asking for a taxi for an app to executing artificial intelligence algorithms, depends on these infrastructure. Not any data center, but those designed to handle Great volumes of information Efficient, safe and increasingly sustainable.

He Exponential growth of digitalizationhe Rain of cloud services, generative artificial intelligence and the massive use of connected devices (IoT), are promoting an unprecedented demand for processing and storing data. It is estimated that, the global volume of data will triple over the next five years, which requires infrastructure capable of supporting this transformation.

In key markets such as Spain, the Middle East and South America, The development of these infrastructure has evolved to combine architecture, engineering, technology and efficiency, with solutions adapted to the specific needs of each client and location. This evolution is reflected in both specialized data centers and energy infrastructure or telecommunications platforms.

A good example is the new data center of the CESGA (Galician Supercomputing Technological Center)a public project whose construction takes place in UTE with Copa. This center will house the Finisterrae IV Superordinate, that will enhance the research capacity of universities and technological centers, in addition to opening the way to advances such as quantum computing.

Financed with European funds within the Recovery, transformation and resilience plan, The project responds to technical standards and very demanding deadlines. With more than 2,400 m² of surface, it is designed to operate with up to 3.2 MW of IT power, has high efficiency air conditioning system with dry heat dissipation equipment (Drycooler) and direct liquid cooling (DLC) for HPC with 200KWP Racks, N+1 redundant architecture and a centralized control BMS system.

All this has been developed through BIM METHODOLOGYwith the aim of complying with the UPTIME TIER III standards institue and reach a PU (Power Usage Effectiveness) less than 1.15 in its initial phase.

But beyond its technical characteristics, this center represents a Bet on sustainable critical infrastructuresaligned with the challenges of the European socio-digital transition.

He Cesga It is an example of infrastructure that has not only been designed, but already has a firm date for execution and materialization. This reinforces the Dominion commitment With the real delivery of strategic projects, overcoming planes and intentions.

In fact, the consideration of data centers as an essential infrastructure has promoted new regulations, public policies and specific investment programs in Europe. Spain is positioning strongly thanks to favorable structural factors: good connectivity, soil availability, renewable resources and institutional stability. Madrid or Barcelona, and regions like Galicia o Aragon They are becoming poles of attraction for cloud operators, hyperscales and technological developers.

This growth raises complex challenges that require a 360º visionthat contemplates not only construction, but also the integration of these infrastructure into the productive environment, their energy efficiency, scalability and long -term management.

In that map, Dominion provides a differential vision: the ability to realize complex infrastructure from an industrial, technological and sustainable perspective.

This includes responding to the vertiginous rhythm to which the market evolves microchipsin particular the processors and advanced processing units. While these technologies multiply their capacity for calculation and processing of data, in Dominion we position ourselves as an innovative partner, capable of accompanying that acceleration by offering solutions that grow in capacity and efficiency at the same rate as the market demands.

Because it is not just about building buildings, but about thinking about how these infrastructure are integrated into the productive fabric, how they optimize their consumption, how they climb, and how they are managed in the long term.

The rise of Data centers It is, in essence, the physical reflection of global digitalization. And the real challenge is not alone in building more, but in doing it more efficiently, sustainable and aligned with the strategic objectives of the new digital era
