The Telekom subsidiary T-Systems is having a data center built in Saxony-Anhalt. It will be the largest IT service provider’s data center in Germany. The company has expanded its cloud computing capabilities with two new data centers linked by fiber in Magdeburg and nearby Biere. 

Both sites are designed for modular expansion, allowing T-Systems to respond dynamically to customer requests. The first phase of construction, involving 5,900 square meters of IT and network area, a security and logistics center and an office building with 85 workplaces was completed as planned in March 2014.
