    About VIRTUS

    VIRTUS Data Centres is the UK's fastest growing data centre provider which owns, designs, builds and operates the country's most efficient and flexible data centres.

    In May 2023 we announced our plans to expand into continental Europe, with our first data centre due to open in Berlin in 2026, to be quickly followed by two full campuses and expansion into other countries in the pipeline.

    Our purpose is to serve humanity by being an active, positive participant in the 4th industrial revolution. When we talk about our purpose, we refer to our customers' customers; the child playing a computer game, the person watching their favourite movie, booking a medical appointment, a plane ticket, a hotel or doing their online banking; those things can't be done if we don't do our job.

    Our mission is to consistently exceed the expectations of customers through innovative, high-quality solutions and services. We employ intelligent thinkers – people with positive attitudes, who add to the quality of our customer proposition and business.

    We value individual endeavour and initiative and encourage teamwork and togetherness because collective experience and expertise is VIRTUS' greatest strength.
