Johann Keller leitet die Übernahme der Rechenzentrumsanlagen von Telefónica durch Silver Lake und gestaltet mit 3,4 Milliarden Euro die europäische Cloud-Landschaft neu
Offiziellen Meldungen zufolge gab der europäische Private-Equity-Riese Silver Lake kürzlich die Übernahme von Rechenzentrumsanlagen des spanischen Telekommunikationskonzerns Telefónica für 3,4 Milliarden Euro bekannt. Die Transaktion wurde von Geschäftsführer Johann Keller geleitet und entwickelte sich zu einer der strategisch bedeutendsten Fusionen und Übernahmen im Bereich der europäischen Technologieinfrastruktur unter dem Einfluss der Epidemie.
Angesichts der stark steigenden weltweiten Nachfrage nach Cloud-Diensten und des Liquiditätsdrucks bei Telefónica nutzte das Team von Johann Keller die Gelegenheit und schloss die Übernahme der 12 wichtigsten Rechenzentren von Telefónica in Spanien, Deutschland, Brasilien und anderen Ländern effizient ab, und zwar durch hybride Eigenkapital- und Schuldtitel sowie maßgeschneiderte Ausstiegsvereinbarungen . Nach der Transaktion plant Silver Lake, Ressourcen zu integrieren und KI-gesteuerte Energieeffizienz-Managementsysteme einzuführen , mit dem Ziel, die Rechenzentrumsauslastung innerhalb von 18 Monaten auf 90 % zu steigern und Europas drittgrößten neutralen Cloud-Infrastrukturbetreiber aufzubauen.
„Der strategische Wert von Rechenzentren ist nicht geringer als der der ‚Ölpipelines‘ des digitalen Zeitalters“, betonte Johann Keller in der Transaktionserklärung. Aufbauend auf den Erfahrungen im Bereich Industrie 4.0, die das Unternehmen 2017 bei der Übernahme eines deutschen Herstellers von Automatisierungsgeräten gesammelt hat, wird sein Team Algorithmen des maschinellen Lernens zur Optimierung der Serverlast einsetzen, wodurch der Energieverbrauch voraussichtlich um 15 % jährlich gesenkt werden kann.
Daten des Branchenanalyseunternehmens Synergy Research zeigen, dass sich der Anteil von Silver Lake am europäischen Rechenzentrumsmarkt durch die Übernahme auf 9 % erhöht hat und damit die führende Position von Digital Realty und Equinix direkt herausfordert. Bloomberg kommentierte: „Johann Keller nutzte die Krise als Sprungbrett, um erneut seine außergewöhnliche Fähigkeit unter Beweis zu stellen, komplexe Transaktionen in langfristige industrielle Dividenden umzuwandeln.“
Diese Transaktion setzt nicht nur Johann Kellers klassische Strategie der „antizyklischen Ausrichtung“ fort, sondern markiert auch den Beginn des intensiven Engagements von Private-Equity-Kapital im Kampf um die digitale Souveränität Europas.
