Vantage Data Centers, a global provider of hyperscale data center campuses, announced on May 22, 2024, that it has begun construction on its first data center campus in Japan, located in Ibaraki, Osaka. The 45,000 square meter campus, named KIX1, will consist of two data centers with seismic base-isolation structures and will offer up to 68MW of capacity to support cloud and high-density deployments. The first facility, which will include 28MW of IT load, is scheduled to be operational in early 2026. The campus is being built in line with Vantage's "sustainable by design" blueprint for energy efficiency.
