XTX Markets Kajaani Building 3 Data Center 22.5MW Finland

Status: Under Construction / Fit-Out Phase   |   Location: XTX Finland Oy, Sokajärventie 24, 87100 Kajaani, Finland

Project Overview

The XTX Markets Kajaani Building 3 Data Center is a 22.5 MW high-performance computing facility located within XTX Markets’ multi-building data center campus in Kajaani, Finland. The project forms part of a €1 billion-plus, multi-phase investment by XTX Markets, a British algorithmic trading firm, to expand the computing infrastructure required for its data-intensive operations. Building 3 is designed to support advanced machine learning price-prediction models and large-scale data-processing clusters, making it a specialized facility for the computational demands of algorithmic trading and financial technology.

With 22.5 MW of capacity, the building adds substantial computing infrastructure to the wider Kajaani campus. XTX Markets relies on sophisticated quantitative models that process large datasets to identify patterns and generate trading predictions. Running these models requires significant computing resources to handle complex calculations, frequent data processing, and machine learning workloads. Dedicated high-performance computing infrastructure enables the firm to support these demanding operations within a purpose-built environment. Building 3 therefore represents more than a conventional data center expansion, serving a specific role in the firm’s broader computational strategy.

Kajaani provides the setting for XTX Markets’ multi-building development in Finland, extending the company’s infrastructure footprint beyond traditional financial centers. The campus-based approach allows computing facilities to be developed in phases as infrastructure requirements evolve. The wider investment of more than €1 billion highlights the strategic importance of computing capacity to XTX Markets’ operations. However, specific details about the building’s IT load, power sourcing, cooling systems, and renewable energy arrangements have not been provided. By adding 22.5 MW of high-performance computing capacity to the Kajaani campus, Building 3 strengthens the infrastructure supporting XTX Markets’ machine learning and data-processing workloads and illustrates the growing role of specialized data centers in computationally intensive financial services.
