Vultr, the world’s largest privately-held cloud infrastructure company, announces the launch of its 33rd global cloud data centre region in Milan, coinciding with AI Week 2026 at Fiera Milano Rho, where over 700 international speakers will gather for Europe's largest AI event. Vultr is a platinum sponsor and is also co-hosting the AI Agent Olympics Hackathon with over 1,000 participants.

Milan becomes Vultr's ninth European cloud data centre region, joining Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Manchester, Paris, Stockholm, and Warsaw. This launch represents the company's latest expansion of a global network reaching 90 per cent of the world's population within 2–40 milliseconds. Vultr’s cloud data centre location will be delivering Vultr’s full-stack AI infrastructure, including Vultr’s flagship cloud compute offering, VX1, in addition to Vultr’s full range of bare metal and cloud GPU offerings from NVIDIA and AMD.

The region will serve enterprises and developers running demanding workloads, including AI, SaaS platforms, databases, analytics, ERP software, microservices, and APIs. Vultr Cloud Compute plans are available from 2 to 192 vCPUs, offering dedicated compute resources with broad software compatibility, easy integration, and transparent billing.

Vultr benchmarks show Cloud Compute delivers up to 23 per cent better performance and 33 per cent lower cost than comparable hyperscaler compute plans - resulting in up to 82 per cent better price-to-performance.

"Italy is one of Europe's fastest-growing cloud infrastructure markets, and Milan is at the heart of it,” said J.J. Kardwell, CEO of Vultr. “Vultr is here because the enterprises and developers driving that growth need high-performance cloud infrastructure without the cost and complexity of the traditional hyperscalers. This is a long-term investment in Italy and in European AI innovation."
