Backed by a fund managed by DWS Group, the fast-growing datacenter platform expands its edge-focused footprint with strategic UK sites
Stellanor Datacenters, backed by a fund managed by the global investment manager DWS, today announced the acquisition of eight strategic datacenter sites from Redcentric plc, currently serving ~450 clients. This move marks a key milestone in Stellanor’s broader strategy to be the leading platform of regional datacenters serving national and international enterprises and service providers with a need for wholesale and AI inference datacenter capacity.
Stellanor is creating a new generation of regional datacenters – designed for proximity, performance, sustainability, and accessibility.
As digital services become increasingly critical to business operations, the demand for secure, scalable, and locally hosted infrastructure is accelerating. Enterprise adoption of generative AI and real-time analytics will significantly accelerate this trend, particularly at the edge. Stellanor’s fast growing network of urban and near-urban facilities are well positioned to meet the requirements of enterprise and AI-driven workloads of customers across the country.
Strategic UK expansion
The newly acquired sites are strategically located in London, Reading, Cambridge, Woking, Gatwick, Byfleet, and West Yorkshire. The portfolio of sites is highly attractive given their high-density colocation capabilities, robust security standards, and sustainable operations powered by 100% renewable energy. The acquisition reinforces Stellanor’s commitment to sustainable growth – revitalising existing sites to reduce environmental impact while delivering energy-efficient, low-latency infrastructure.
“The acquisition of RDC by Stellanor represents a transformative step in expanding our UK footprint to ten high-quality, strategically located assets with 36MW of secured grid capacity and a blue-chip customer base.” said Aparna Narain, Partner at DWS. “We see significant long-term value in building resilient, scalable, and sustainable infrastructure that supports the UK’s digital economy.”
With today’s acquisition, Stellanor will operate ten datacenters across the UK, with plans for continued expansion across the UK and Nordics, focusing on market leading service quality.
