Embracing the Challenges of Digital Transformation

According to statistics portal and industry ranking provider Statista, the amount of data created, consumed and stored has been growing exponentially over the last decade.

It will grow from 2 zettabytes in 2010 to more than 180 zettabytes in 2025.

Increasingly higher standards have appeared in terms of data protection, materialised by the growth of laws and regulations regarding that matter.

This paper highlights all the reasons why Portugal is a great location for data centres. It explores how the country deals with issues of data protection and cybersecurity, that arise facing such heightened digital demands.

Sines – An ideal location for Digital

Portugal is indeed one of the best countries for a data centre regarding its geographical characteristics. “It is well positioned to be the ‘connecting hub’ for undersea cables which span the South Atlantic, offering a unique opportunity for exploring alternative routes to Africa, the Americas and further afield».

One might add that the city of Sines, hosting the Sines 4.0 Hyperscaler Data Centre is especially ideally located.

Sines is located 150 km south of Lisbon and has a «mild climate» thanks to its proximity with the ocean, resulting in it not being subject to “extreme weather conditions”. This is a significant advantage for a data centre.

To learn more about the unique environmental advantages of the Sines 4.0 Hyperscaler Data Centre, please take a look at Green Giants: The Heart of A Sustainable European Data Ecosystems.

Portugal, thanks to an ever-expanding network of fibre optic cables, is positioned as the “European gateway” country to Africa, the Americas, and beyond.
