CloudFerro launches a sovereign cloud region in Łódź for AI and exabyte-scale data processing 

CloudFerro, a Polish provider of Europe’s sovereign cloud infrastructure, announces the launch of a new cloud region in Łódź, Poland. The new location strengthens cloud infrastructure operating under European jurisdiction and is designed to support AI projects and large-scale data processing. 

The launch of the new region reflects a broader shift accelerating across Europe: control over data, infrastructure, and operational models is becoming a prerequisite for the effective functioning of public administration, regulated sectors, and companies delivering public contracts. In this context, digital sovereignty is no longer a declaration—it is becoming a practical requirement for systems that must operate reliably, locally, and in compliance with EU regulations. 

The Łódź region enables the development and operation of critical systems based on infrastructure located in Poland, operating under Polish and EU law, without being subject to non-EU jurisdictions. This provides full control over the entire technology stack—from infrastructure and software to data management and access. The model is based on open-source technologies and reduces dependency on proprietary, closed licensing solutions. 

Building infrastructure at this scale is no longer just about performance—it is primarily about control over data and operational capabilities. The new CloudFerro region in Łódź enables large-scale data processing, AI model development, and the execution of public-sector projects in an environment operating under Polish and European jurisdiction. Digital sovereignty is no longer a competitive advantage—it is becoming a prerequisite for modern administration and the economy.

— said Dr. Maciej Krzyżanowski, CEO of CloudFerro

Infrastructure for AI and large-scale data 

The region has been designed for projects requiring high compute power, high throughput, and stable data storage—from advanced analytics to artificial intelligence, as well as geospatial and satellite data processing. 

Key parameters of the new region include: 

• capacity for over 300 server racks, 

• up to 2.4 MW of IT power, 

• readiness for storing and processing data at exabyte scale (up to 1 EB), 

• implementation of advanced cooling technologies for energy efficiency, including readiness for D2C/DLC solutions, 

• availability of modern GPU accelerators such as NVIDIA H200, B300, and RTX 6000 PRO for AI workloads. 

CloudFerro already provides access to approximately 100 PB of Earth Observation data through the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem. The Łódź region is designed to support even larger data volumes and more demanding computational workloads. 

CloudFerro currently operates several public cloud regions in Poland and Germany (WAW3, WAW4, FRA1), as well as private cloud deployments in Finland, Germany, Italy, and Spain. GPU accelerators such as NVIDIA H200, B300, and RTX 6000 PRO are available for AI applications. In total, CloudFerro currently provides around 500 GPUs across its public and private cloud environments. 

Over the past three years, CloudFerro has invested more than EUR 50 million in its cloud infrastructure and plans further investments in the coming years. 

Space sector and data infrastructure 

The investment also supports the development of Poland’s space sector. CloudFerro has been building cloud infrastructure for major European satellite data programs for years. The company operates a reference data source for the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem, which currently provides approximately 100 petabytes of Earth Observation data to over 600,000 users worldwide. This allows scientists, public institutions, and companies to analyze large datasets directly in the cloud without the need for local downloads. 

The expansion of satellite data infrastructure aligns with a broader European trend of strengthening space capabilities and data resilience. In recent years, Poland has increased funding for projects under the European Space Agency, particularly in Earth observation and dual-use systems. Under the European Resilience from Space (ERS) program, Poland has allocated approximately EUR 110 million for 2025–2027 to develop technologies related to satellite data processing and systems supporting security and crisis management. 

Energy efficiency and data center standards 

The Łódź cloud region operates in a Tier III data center. The facility features high energy efficiency, with a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) below 1.25—significantly lower than current European averages and aligned with future EU regulatory targets. The data center is powered entirely by renewable energy, and the infrastructure is prepared for heat recovery and integration with the city’s district heating network. 

The new CloudFerro region in Łódź expands access to sovereign digital infrastructure for public administration, technology companies, and the research sector, strengthening national resilience and reinforcing Poland’s position within the European data and cloud ecosystem.
