What Telepoint does
Telepoint is a Bulgarian carrier-neutral Tier 3+ colocation data center operator headquartered in Sofia, founded in 2007 by local investors and operating three state-of-the-art data centers—Sofia Center, Sofia East, and Montana—representing more than 9,000 square meters of combined colocation space. The company serves over 600 Bulgarian and international clients, primarily telecommunications carriers and network operators, financial institutions, hosting and cloud providers, and content delivery networks, and holds an estimated one-third share of the Bulgarian colocation market.
The company's core offering is a tiered colocation product set ranging from shared rack units (1–48 RU) to dedicated cabinets, private cages, and private suites, layered with cross-connect services that provide direct access to more than 110 unique network service providers and 340+ points of presence in a single metro. Underlying infrastructure includes three independent 10,000V power feeds from separate substations, 6 diesel generator groups totaling 4.8 MW, N+1 redundant UPS and -48V DC power feeds, more than 2 MW of cooling capacity, FM200/IG-55 fire suppression, VESDA detection, and a 24/7 Monitoring and Support Center. Telepoint was the first data center in Bulgaria certified under PCI DSS v4.0 (2023) and the first Bulgarian colocation to earn ISO/IEC 27001 (2011), making it the de facto compliant destination for payment-card and regulated workloads.
Telepoint generates revenue primarily through recurring monthly colocation fees (billed on rack space, power consumption, and cross-connect counts), supplemented by cross-connect service fees, managed services (Hands and Eyes, disaster recovery), satellite signal rental, IT project management, and consulting. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supported by industry events (InfoSec and Data Storage Conference, iCU Sofia, Sound of Money) and carrier referral channels. In March 2026, Telepoint was acquired by Digital Realty Trust for approximately €66.5 million (~$76.6 million), integrating the company into the PlatformDIGITAL global portfolio and giving Digital Realty its first footprint in Bulgaria and Southeast Europe.

Telepoint competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Digital Realty: NYSE-listed global data center REIT and now Telepoint's parent. Operates PlatformDIGITAL with carrier-neutral interconnection hubs across the Americas, EMEA and APAC; comparable product set (colo, cross-connect, cloud on-ramps) but vastly larger scale.
- NTT Global Data Centers: Operates a global carrier-neutral data center footprint (e.g., Nexcenter/Netmagic). NTT is both a Telepoint customer (PoP in Sofia) and a peer competing for hyperscale and enterprise workloads in EMEA.
- Iron Mountain Data Centers: Global data center portfolio (acquired IO Data Centers, re-launched as a carrier-neutral platform); competes for hyperscale, enterprise and regulated-industry colo contracts in EMEA.
- CyrusOne (KKR): Global hyperscale and enterprise data center operator; comparable carrier-neutral interconnection plus colocation services on a much broader scale, including European presence.
Direct peers

- Maincubes: European carrier-neutral colocation provider with campuses in Frankfurt and Amsterdam; competes for the same hyperscale and enterprise workloads with similar tier-3/cross-connect economics.
- Equinix: Global carrier-neutral colocation and interconnection operator; Equinix Bulgaria is the closest direct competitor to Telepoint in Sofia, offering identical cross-connect, IX, and cloud on-ramp services to the same tier-1 carrier base.
