Ficolo Oy was a Finnish colocation and cloud-delivery company that built and operated three data centers in Finland — The Air in Helsinki/Vantaa, The Rock in Pori (an underground former military tunnel complex), and The Deck in Tampere — plus a national connectivity hub, Ficolo-IX, in Helsinki. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Vantaa, Ficolo grew through acquisitions (including data center businesses bought from Fujitsu, Cybercom, and Protacon/Pinja) to become, by its own and independent accounts, one of the largest Finnish-owned data center operators, marketing itself on 100% renewable-powered, carbon-negative-targeting colocation and hybrid cloud services. In 2022, UK-listed Digital 9 Infrastructure acquired Ficolo for roughly €135 million and folded it into its pan-Nordic “Verne Global” (later simply “Verne”) brand, so the Ficolo name itself is now largely historical; Verne was subsequently sold to private equity firm Ardian in 2024, and at least one of the original Ficolo sites (The Rock, in Pori/Ulvila) was later divested again to a different operator, Glesys.

Common Questions
Is Ficolo still an active, independently operating company?
Not as a standalone brand: Digital 9 Infrastructure acquired Ficolo in 2022 and merged its Finnish data centers into its Verne Global (now "Verne") portfolio, and Verne itself was acquired by Ardian in 2024, so Ficolo's former facilities now operate under other ownership.
What data centers did Ficolo operate?
Ficolo built and ran three Finnish data centers — The Air in Helsinki/Vantaa, The Rock in Pori (built inside a decommissioned military underground tunnel network), and The Deck in Tampere — along with the Ficolo-IX connectivity hub in Helsinki.
Does Ficolo's former infrastructure include AI/GPU-optimized capacity?
There is no specific evidence that Ficolo's original three Finnish facilities were built or marketed as AI/GPU-optimized; high-density GPU deployments (e.g., liquid-cooled Nvidia Blackwell clusters) reported in 2026 are tied to Verne's separate Iceland campus, not the original Ficolo sites.
Was Ficolo's colocation carrier-neutral?
Yes — Ficolo's own technical documentation describes it as a carrier-neutral colocation provider, and its Helsinki (The Air) facility is separately described by other sources as carrier-neutral with multiple network providers available.
Does Ficolo offer cloud services?
We haven't confirmed cloud services for Ficolo yet — this isn't a definitive no, since our research can miss things. Please contact Ficolo directly to confirm cloud availability.
