Operators looking beyond saturated European hubs are surveying unexpected locations. Armenia offers abundant renewable power, a cool climate at altitude and a tech workforce that grew sharply after 2022. Two colocation projects have broken ground this year.
The constraints
International connectivity still runs through a small number of routes, and regional politics add risk that insurers price in. Proponents argue the diversity is the point: capacity where nobody else has built it.
Key takeaways
- Renewable power and altitude cooling cut costs
- Two colocation projects started in 2026
- Connectivity diversity is the remaining gap
