The newly constructed Sofia Data Center received its first recognition after the nominations for European Data Center Awards were announced. The Judges of the fourth annual Data Center Awards have shortlisted the companies across nine industry categories. Neterra's data center will compete for an award in the highly competitive "New Data Center" category which will distinguish the best facility build in Europe for the past 12 months.
The award will be given to a data center that demonstrates innovation, awareness of its environmental impact and can show how the facility was developed to meet current and future needs. Not at least among the evaluation criteria is customer care and business development strategic plans.
