Derio - June 19, 2026 - Sarenet, the voice, data, and hosting services provider specializing in business, has officially opened its new Data Center (DC) at the Derio Communications Hub (Basque Country Technology Park) , one of the main connectivity nodes in northern Spain with direct access to international fiber optic cables. This state-of-the-art infrastructure, representing a €20 million investment , is one of the most significant milestones in its more than three decades of operation.
The new data center has been designed to offer high performance, scalability, and maximum energy efficiency. The infrastructure boasts an installed electrical capacity of 3 megawatts, the ability to house up to 340 cabinets or racks , and a guaranteed availability exceeding 99.98% , a level of service comparable to Tier III data center standards .
Designed as a next-generation DC unit , it incorporates the most advanced technologies to optimize energy consumption and reduce its environmental impact. These include a dedicated photovoltaic system and free cooling systems that utilize outside air conditions to improve cooling naturally and efficiently.
Furthermore, the technological platform relies on state-of-the-art servers equipped with processors specially designed to maximize performance with the lowest possible energy consumption, thus reinforcing Sarenet 's commitment to sustainability and operational efficiency.
The infrastructure is designed to obtain LEED Gold certification ; in addition, the company is part of the Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact (CNDCP) , a European initiative that promotes climate neutrality in data centers.
Designed to house critical services with the highest levels of availability and resilience, the new facility will also allow the deployment of advanced dynamic network segmentation capabilities, protection against DDoS attacks and managed cybersecurity services, reinforcing the technological resilience of organizations in critical scenarios.
Ultimately, this new center will allow the company to strengthen its technological offering in connectivity, cloud, cybersecurity, AI and data spaces, offering companies a close, specialized and flexible alternative to the standardized models of large international hyperscale providers.
A commitment to proximity in a market dominated by large global platforms
In a context where much of the digital infrastructure is concentrated in the hands of large international operators, Sarenet advocates a model based on proximity, operational control and specialized attention.
In this regard, the new infrastructure allows for comprehensive control over customer services and data, reducing reliance on third parties and ensuring that information remains under the company's direct management. This approach is particularly relevant for organizations seeking greater guarantees of digital sovereignty, regulatory compliance, and business continuity.
In contrast to highly standardized models, the new center will allow for solutions tailored to each project, with specialized technical support, low latency, and a close response capacity that constitutes one of Sarenet 's main differentiating elements .
“ This initiative reinforces our ability to offer SMEs a comprehensive technology solution that combines connectivity, infrastructure hosting, cybersecurity, and specialized engineering services. This approach allows small and medium-sized enterprises to access advanced and innovative technologies with the support of close and specialized technical assistance ,” says Jon Arberas, CEO of Sarenet .
The company also values its own infrastructure, managed entirely by its team. “This provides greater control over service quality, guarantees high levels of reliability, and offers the flexibility needed to adapt to future customer needs and the technological evolution of the market,” Arberas concludes .
At the inauguration, Ainara Basurko, Deputy for Economic Promotion of the Provincial Council of Bizkaia, emphasized that “Bizkaia is committed to enabling technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and supercomputing, with the aim of bringing them closer to industry to prepare our economic fabric for the coming years.” She also underscored that “Sarenet demonstrates that Bizkaia is developing critical digital infrastructure. We don't just want to consume technology; we are building our own capabilities. We can compete with advanced, high-value-added proposals based on technical knowledge, specialization, and trust.”
AI with a business focus and data sovereignty
Sarenet is committed to AI that addresses the specific needs of businesses, as opposed to large, general-purpose models that require massive infrastructure. The company believes there is a gap between the potential of technology and its actual application in the business environment, and therefore works on specialized solutions that enable more precise, efficient, and reliable process automation.
Sarenet 's new data center is ready to host these types of AI projects , providing organizations with a secure and scalable infrastructure without needing to rely on the vast technological resources of global giants.
Furthermore, the company emphasizes the importance of data sovereignty in the development of AI . In this regard, it guarantees that its customers' information remains under its control, hosted on European infrastructure and protected by EU regulations, ensuring privacy, security, and regulatory compliance.
Sustained growth and a commitment to innovation
The opening of the new center coincides with a period of sustained growth for the company. Sarenet closed 2025 with revenues exceeding €28 million and a profitability increase of over 6% . The company currently has a staff of 140 professionals and a network of more than 400 partners distributed throughout Spain, which already generate nearly 40% of the company's revenue.
Sarenet remains committed to innovation as one of its strategic pillars . Investment in R&D&I reached €2 million in 2025 , equivalent to 6% of revenue. This marks a new record for Sarenet.
The launch of the new Data Center represents a decisive step in the evolution of Sarenet from its origins, when the Internet was beginning to be implemented in the Basque Country, to becoming a specialized operator capable of designing and managing critical infrastructures of the latest generation.
At the same time, the company believes that this infrastructure will help to strengthen the position of Euskadi as a strategic digital hub for the development of cloud services, AI, international connectivity and advanced technological projects.
With this inauguration, Sarenet reaffirms its commitment to a technological model based on specialization, innovation and proximity, putting at the service of companies an infrastructure prepared to face the challenges of the next digital decade.
