NEW YORK, Oct 21 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — The Goldman Sachs Merchant Banking Division (“GS MBD”) today announced that it has partnered with a seasoned management team, led by long-time data center industry executive Scott Peterson, to form Global Compute Infrastructure LP (“Global Compute” or the “Company”), a newly established global data center infrastructure platform.
GS MBD has initially committed to fund up to $500 million of equity capital, primarily from its infrastructure fund, West Street Infrastructure Partners III, LP (“WSIP III”), to enable approximately $1.5 billion in near-term investments deployed across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America. Global Compute intends to grow through a combination of acquisitions and organic development to serve customers in geographies with strong secular tailwinds and potential for significant data infrastructure growth. Leveraging the experience and track record of the management team, Global Compute will focus on acquiring and developing facilities which can meet the growing compute, storage, connectivity and colocation deployment needs of the world’s largest technology companies.
