Inauguration of the European Commission's new Datacentre in Luxembourg

Today the European Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society Günther H. Oettinger, Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel and Minister for Home Affairs Dan Kersch inaugurate the European Commission's new Datacentre in Betzdorf, Luxembourg.


‘Thanks to a fruitful collaboration with the Luxembourg authorities, the Commission is today opening a world class datacentre to ensure its IT infrastructure which is operating EU and pan-European Information systems, is modern, reliable and cost-efficient’ Commissioner Oettinger said.


The Datacentre will be housing more than 1400 information systems such as pan-European systems supporting the Single Market, climate policy, health and food safety or structural funds. It will also house internal systems, which help run the Commission’s administration, such as its financial and HR systems.


The Betzdorf datacentre will be a datacentre of the future enhanced by cloud services and which is energy efficient, flexible, agile and secure at the same time.  The move to the Betzdorf datacentre completes the Commission’s move out of the old Jean Monnet building where asbestos had been detected in 2014.
