Today, we announce the further expansion of UpCloud’s global network with the launch of our new data center location in Copenhagen, Denmark.
This launch strengthens our commitment to the Nordic region and provides our customers with even more choice, performance, and data sovereignty within the European Union.
The Copenhagen data center is available today, Tuesday, December 16th, 2026, for all new and existing customers.
Why Copenhagen, Why Now?
Denmark has long been a hub of innovation and vital for connectivity across the Nordics and continental Europe. Adding Copenhagen to our growing list of locations is a strategic move that delivers immediate benefits:
- Optimized for the Nordics: This facility ensures ultra-low latency connections for businesses operating in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and the Baltic region, building on the success of our existing European network.
- Enhanced data sovereignty: For our growing base of European customers, deploying resources in Copenhagen reinforces compliance with data locality requirements, offering a straightforward solution for data sovereignty and governance within a robust EU framework.
- Disaster recovery & redundancy: Copenhagen offers a new, geodiverse location to enhance redundancy strategies, providing customers with a reliable location separate from our other major European hubs.
- Sustainability: This location is 100% powered by renewable energy.
The new data center is located in Ballerup, approximately 15 kilometres from Copenhagen. To guarantee the high standards of security and performance our customers expect, UpCloud is fully responsible for the operation and maintenance of the server environment, as well as all data processing.
Looking Ahead: Expanding Our Nordic Presence
With Copenhagen now live, we’re continuing to invest in strengthening our footprint across the region. We’re also preparing to launch a data center in Norway, which will make us the only cloud provider offering native infrastructure across Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Norway.
This expanded pan-Nordic presence will provide our customers with even greater performance, resilience, and choice across one of the world’s most digitally advanced regions.
