The deal is followed by a several million-dollar investment commitment to upgrade the facility. The primary goal of the move is to create a new infrastructure region that will provide disaster recovery capabilities and support the expansion of integrated cloud services.
Located approximately 170 kilometers north of the capital city, the new center in Brasov provides the geographic diversity necessary for business continuity, operating on a seismic profile and a power grid segment distinct from those in Bucharest. This physical separation, coupled with low-latency fiber-optic connectivity, enables the company to deliver “active-active” and “active-passive” multi-site architectures within Romania. These capabilities are increasingly relevant for organizations that must operate under strict regulatory frameworks, such as the European DORA and NIS2 regulations.
Gherasim Briceag, Deputy CEO of M247 Global, explained the rationale behind the transaction: “Our customers no longer buy ‘a data center’, they buy continuity, and continuity is a function of distance, diversity, and discipline. Brasov provides us with a second region in Romania that is truly independent in terms of infrastructure, while remaining fully integrated in terms of services. For disaster recovery, this means that our users can go beyond mere compliance and treat resilience as an active operational capability.”
