Case Study: Across The Pond achieves rapid consolidation of two European data centers in under 26 weeks with Digital Realty

Across The Pond - Customer Case Study

An international insurance company headquartered in the United States faced failing infrastructure in two European data centers and needed to consolidate those sites into a single, modern location. The project had high visibility among US-based decision makers (global head of IT procurement, VP of International IT and CIO) while the operators and evaluators were located in Europe, creating a need for coordinated, cross‑border technical and commercial assurance — all without tying up the client’s capital.

Digital Realty delivered two 480 kW turnkey Flex data centers within a single European facility, enabling the insurer to migrate operations from both legacy sites in under 26 weeks. The company’s global teams bridged US and European stakeholders, and a leasing model plus Digital Realty’s financial stability let the client replace both centers quickly and without upfront capital, meeting short‑ and long‑term operational needs.
