        Barcelona DC Cluster Initiative
                                        Last week, the second edition of the Big Data Congress took place in Barcelona. It was organized by Big Data CoE Barcelona, an initiative from the Eurecat technology center with the support of Oracle, the Catalan government and the city council of Barcelona with the aim of building, developing and providing tools, data sets and value-added Big Data capabilities to enable companies on defining, testing and validating Big Data models before its final implementation.
This event gives an opportunity to mention the importance of Barcelona in the field of Big Data and the Barcelona Synchrotron Park (BSP) challenge of hosting Data Centers (DCs).
According to the European Commission Data Landscape initiative whose purpose is to identify the economic actors related with data, Catalonia is among the European regions with the largest number of companies and entities dedicated to Big Data. Catalonia hosts concretely 57 initiatives, 50 of them in Barcelona, more than London (48) or Brussels (55).
In addition to Nestlé or Zurich that built their Big Data innovation centers in Barcelona, companies such as IBM or T-Systems have DCs in BSP, locally known as Parc de l’Alba in Cerdanyola del Vallès.
Along with these DCs already operative, BSP is completing a 42,000 sqm plot specially designed to host DCs including a district cooling system, 7 telecommunication operators etc. Malaysia is interested in this so-called Barcelona DC Cluster initiative and will send a delegation to BSP to know more about it at the end of the month.
