🇮🇹 Data Centre & Technical Facilities

Data Centre ELV & ICT Design
for Italy Facilities

Milan is the main concentration of Italian data centres. A 2026 decree created a single national authorisation procedure, and the grid is the central planning constraint for new capacity.

Yes, at the ELV and ICT layer: cabling, security, fire interfaces and monitoring. The power and cooling design is by your MEP engineers. Under the 2026 authorisation rules, plan the monitoring and grid-connection data early.

Market Context

The Italy Data Centre Market

Milan is the main concentration of Italian data centres. A 2026 decree created a single national authorisation procedure, and the grid is the central planning constraint for new capacity.

Italy transposed NIS2 through Legislative Decree 138/2024, and the national cybersecurity agency (ACN) supervises it. Incident reporting applies from January 2026. Building and data centre operators should check their sector and classification, and design the OT zones and logging now.

Design Scope

Data Centre ELV & ICT Design Scope

Scope is agreed against the data centre brief and the appointed consultant's design criteria, not a fixed package.

Structured cabling and diverse routes
Main, horizontal and zone distribution, fibre backbones, and separate routes where the resilience target requires them.
Rack, cabinet & containment layouts
Rack elevations, containment routes, and separation between power and data paths within the hall.
CCTV, access control & perimeter
Perimeter, hall and white-space coverage, with access control zones for machine rooms, plant areas and staff entry.
Fire detection interfaces
Early smoke detection, alarm zoning and interfaces with suppression systems where the project specifies them.
Cooling & environmental monitoring
Sensor and control points for cooling plant, temperature, humidity and leak detection, integrated to the BMS or DCIM platform.
Power and energy monitoring
Metering and monitoring points that show power use and support capacity planning as the facility grows.
Sector FAQs

Data Centre Design FAQs — Italy

Our core scope is the ELV and ICT layers: cabling, security, fire detection interfaces, AV and monitoring. Mechanical and electrical power design is by your MEP and electrical engineers, and we coordinate the interfaces with them.
Yes, at the ELV and ICT layer. We design cabling, security and monitoring redundancy to the targets you confirm. We do not certify a facility against any tier or standard.
We design the metering, BMS data points and network paths that support the energy reporting that applies in Italy. The reporting duty and the data definitions come from the operator and the applicable rules.
