History

Magru is the first Wikimedia data center not to follow the traditional Data center naming conventions of vendor initials + airport code. In December 2023, after two months of debate (SPGRU, BRGRU, CSGRU, IMGRU, GRU01, AAGRU), SRE DC Ops have decided on Magru as the location's name.[1]

The datacenter came online on 2024-06-11.[2]
