Atman

What Atman does

Atman is Poland's largest independent data center and cloud services provider, operating four carrier-neutral facilities — WAW-1 and WAW-2 in central Warsaw, the newly opened WAW-3 campus in Duchnice (September 2025, 14.4 MW initial IT power, targeting 43.2 MW), and KTW-1 in Katowice — with a combined technical floor area exceeding 19,500 sqm and 41.5 MW of total installed IT power. Founded in 1991 as ATM S.A. and rebranded to Atman sp. z o.o. in September 2021, the company has built Poland's IT infrastructure over more than 30 years (Atman Data Center business launched 2008, first neutral CEE data center campus 2017), serving approximately 2,100 active clients across enterprise (Play, TVP, Ringier Axel Springer, Sanofi, CEZ), financial (mbank, Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego, AXA), government, telecom, media, pharmaceutical, and SMB segments, with 10 consecutive years of 100% uptime at WAW-1 and WAW-2.

The portfolio spans colocation, dedicated bare-metal servers (Intel Xeon 6xxx and AMD EPYC 9000, DDR5, NVMe, PCIe 5.0 — 4,000+ spare parts stocked, up to 200 servers deployed weekly), three tiers of cloud (Atman Cloud enterprise, Atman Cloud Basic, Atman Private Cloud) all built on OpenStack with a metrocluster active-active storage architecture between WAW-1 and WAW-2, internet connectivity with 99.98% SLA, DWDM data transmission, and the Thinx IX internet exchange (170 participants, 1 Tbps traffic). Security and complementary services include AntiDDoS (Flowmon + Radware scrubbing + Atende redGuardian 2.0), Firewall, RPKI-based BGP security, Commvault-based Backup (extended November 2025 to cover Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Proxmox), S3-compatible Object Storage, and managed IT services. Cloud Connect provides direct low-latency interconnection to AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud regions.

The business model is overwhelmingly subscription/recurring with hybrid PAYG option for cloud and self-serve e-commerce purchasing (14-day free trials, publicly disclosed pricing) for SMB cloud and dedicated server customers, supplemented by negotiated annual and multi-year contracts for enterprise colocation (e.g., Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego 4-year, 9.5M PLN tender win). Distribution is multi-channel: direct enterprise field sales, a formal partner program for resellers and system integrators (including HostPark Group for Ukraine and Aruba Cloud from Italy), the strefaklienta.atman.pl e-commerce storefront, and carrier-neutral colocation that allows customers to bring their own connectivity. Atman is privately held with no disclosed VC/PE ownership, secured 1.35 billion PLN (~$335M USD) of debt financing in April 2024 from six Polish and European financial institutions to fund WAW-3 and existing-facility expansion, and holds a uniquely deep certifications stack including EPI-DCOS-4 (the only operator in Europe), ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 1/2 Type I, PCI DSS v4.0, Zero Outage Approved Supplier status, Google Verified Peering Provider Silver, and EcoVadis Bronze.
