Co-location data centers

The digital transformation is rapidly changing requirements for company organizational processes and, as a result, for IT infrastructure. Companies are focused on flexibility, individuality and speed – factors that will increasingly define our private environment as well. For many companies, colocation data centers are an ideal opportunity to integrate their corporate IT (hardware) into a safe, redundant data center environment.

Our experts undertake all phases of colocation data center development – from management consulting, design and General Construction Management to commissioning.

The focus is on ensuring maximum leasable whitespace, a scalable, future-proof design, and sustainable cost-efficient operation.

  • High demand for flexibility and adaptability
  • Exponential growth of data volume and storage capacity
  • New software architecture requirements as a result of Software as a Service (SaaS) and cloud services

  • Our expert team supports you every step of the way – from vision definition, project management, technical & economic controlling (TEC) as a Single Point of Contact (SPoC), design and planning of your new colocation data center / revitalization of your existing colocation data center, through to commissioning and black building test.
