With the rise of cloud data , IoT and smart technologies , data centres have become big business . Telia Finland Oyj is behind the current construction of the largest data centre in Finland , embedding sustainable initiatives which will drive longterm benefits to the region

Data centres have become an essential part of business growth , with the rise of cloud technologies and IoT changing the way in which markets operate and communicate with their audiences . At present , there are two to three largescale data centres in Finland , including one owned by Google , but these centres have been built to focus solely on in-house business . Consequently , the new data centre by Telia Finland , named Telia Helsinki Datacenter , will be unique through catering to a multitude of different businesses .
