They are also in process of building out in Finland (https://www.cinia.fi/en/archive/hetzner-data-center-park-helsinki-takes-form-next-units-to-arise-in-2018.html https://www.cinia.fi/en/archive/hetzner-data-center-park-hel...). There's a direct GER-FIN fiber link laid in the Baltic, owned partially by Hetzner (https://www.cinia.fi/en/services/international-connectivity-services/c-lion1-submarine-cable.html https://www.cinia.fi/en/services/international-connectivity-...).
- dx034 9y agoMakes Finland sense if you want to connect to Asian customers? Is there a good link Finland-JP/Korea/Singapore? Otherwise I fail to see why Finland makes sense, unless you need cheaper energy for applications that don't need low latency.
- seqastian 9y agoCheaper to keep cool.
- Maakuth 9y agoWe do have cheap energy (from nuclear and mostly renewable CHP), cheap cooling, availability of educated workforce and stable state. And good network connections to Russia in addition to Nordic and Baltic states and continental Europe.
- dx034 9y agoBut latency to Russia and Baltic states isn't that different from where Hetzner already is. I just try to understand why people would choose Hetzner's new DC in Finland over that in Germany unless they offer cheaper prices there.
- nirv 9y agoThat's interesting! Thanks for pointing out.
