InfraRed Capital Partners has officially launched Qu Data Centres, a new Canadian-based digital infrastructure platform built around a portfolio of nine data centre facilities across the country.
The platform includes facilities in Calgary, Edmonton, London, Ottawa, and Toronto, providing a national footprint with up to 49 megawatts of capacity. The facilities currently support more than 750 customers, ranging from enterprises and government organizations to cloud providers and emerging AI workloads.
According to InfraRed, Qu Data Centres is designed to address the growing demand for secure, sovereign, and sustainable digital infrastructure within Canada. With data sovereignty and in-country infrastructure as core priorities, the platform aims to provide organizations with reliable domestic alternatives for hosting critical digital services and data.
“The launch of Qu marks a defining moment for Canadian digital infrastructure,” said James Beer, CEO of Qu Data Centres. “We are uniting the proven operational sophistication of our facilities, and the teams who run them, with a clear mission: to propel our clients forward by delivering unquestionably reliable, sovereign infrastructure. Qu is here to power Canadian innovation, today and for the future.”
Beer added that the company’s facilities are designed to combine scale, security, and sustainability to support the needs of enterprises, cloud providers, and public-sector organizations while offering a resilient foundation for Canada’s expanding digital economy.
The launch follows InfraRed Capital Partners’ acquisition of the facilities from Rogers Communications. Under the agreement, Rogers will continue to sell data centre services and provide network connectivity into the facilities, maintaining a commercial relationship with the platform.
“We are excited to complete this transaction and launch Qu Data Centres to continue delivering high-quality services to its extensive existing client base, with Rogers continuing to sell data centre solutions into the facilities,” said Pilar Banegas, Partner at InfraRed Capital Partners.
With additional capacity available and room for expansion, the company believes the platform is well positioned to support Canada’s rapidly growing demand for colocation, cloud, and connectivity services, particularly as AI and digital transformation initiatives accelerate across industries.
Qu Data Centres says it will focus on expanding its national footprint while leveraging a Canadian leadership team and operational expertise in building and scaling mission-critical infrastructure.
