I’m not gonna lie it’s a real game-changer and let me tell you why.
We’ve all been through those moments where a server hiccups a connection drops and you’re left staring at a spinning wheel wondering what in the world is going on.
That’s why Contabo’s gone all out with Hub Europe.
They’ve built a data center that’s basically a fortress for your data a place where your servers can thrive and where reliability is a given not a hope and a prayer.

Hub Europe isn’t just a fancy building with some servers inside.
It’s a carefully planned and meticulously built facility spread across 25600 square meters – that’s about four football fields for those of us who are more into touchdowns than terabytes.
This thing is huge! And it’s designed to house up to 50000 physical servers which is a whole lot of processing power.
Redundancy Redundancy Redundancy!
But the real magic happens with the design.
Hub Europe is built with redundancy in mind.
Think of it like a safety net but for your data.
Imagine a power outage – no problem because Hub Europe has two separate power lines and a backup system that kicks in automatically keeping the lights on and your servers humming.
And if you’re worried about a network hiccup they’ve got two fiber optic lines leading in from different directions and they’ve partnered with two separate Tier 1 uplink providers each with their own redundant 100 Gigabit lines.
You’re basically protected from almost anything.
A Location That’s Got Your Back
Not only is Hub Europe built like a tank but it’s located strategically in a prime spot for connectivity.
They’ve got two fiber optic lines leading to the north and south linking into two different internet exchange points ensuring lightning-fast connections all across Europe and beyond.
It’s like having the best of both worlds – the speed of a cheetah and the resilience of an oak tree.
A Team You Can Trust
And let’s not forget the people behind the machines.
Contabo has assembled a team of data center veterans with over 20 years of experience under their belts.
These are folks who’ve seen it all and they’re there around the clock to ensure that everything is running smoothly.
It’s a team that can handle anything that comes their way and you know they’ve got your back.
The Power of Efficiency
Now let’s talk about power.
Hub Europe isn’t just about brute force.
It’s about efficiency and sustainability.
They’ve implemented a direct-free-cooling system which uses cool air to cool the servers reducing the need for mechanical ventilation and saving energy.
It’s like a breath of fresh air for the environment.
Energy Savings That Don’t Break the Bank
This system allows them to use outside air for cooling for a good chunk of the year only switching to compressors when it gets really hot.
That means they’re saving a ton of energy – up to 60% compared to traditional cooling systems.
And the best part? They’re passing those savings on to you so you can enjoy a high-performance reliable data center without breaking the bank.
A PUE Score That Speaks Volumes
The proof is in the PUE or Power Usage Effectiveness.
Hub Europe boasts a PUE of 1.168 making it one of the most energy-efficient data centers in Europe.
To put that in perspective it means that for every kilowatt of power used by the servers they only need an additional 0.1168 kilowatts to run the cooling system.
That’s a win for your wallet and for the planet.
Sustainability at the Core
But it doesn’t stop there.
Contabo is committed to sustainability.
Hub Europe is powered by 100% carbon-free energy and they’ve even installed photovoltaic panels on each building generating over 300 kWp of renewable energy.
It’s like a green data center oasis in the digital desert.
Safety First Always
Of course with all this advanced technology safety is paramount.
They’ve performed extensive risk assessments to ensure that Hub Europe is prepared for any eventuality.
Whether it’s a fire a flood or a power outage they’ve got you covered.
A Fortress Against the Elements
Hub Europe is built to withstand floods with a raised floor and high-performance pumps and it’s equipped with fire alarm systems and nitrogen fire extinguishers to keep everything safe.
They’ve even got lightning protection that meets international standards so your data is protected from the sky to the ground.
They’re not playing around when it comes to safety.
A Future-Proof Solution
Building 1 of Hub Europe is already up and running serving customers with over 20000 instances.
Buildings 2 and 3 are scheduled to come online in 2025 adding even more capacity and reliability.
It’s an exciting time for Contabo and for their customers as they continue to expand and provide even more powerful and resilient solutions.
The Bottom Line
Hub Europe is more than just a data center.
It’s a commitment to reliability efficiency and sustainability.
It’s a place where your data is safe secure and always available.
It’s a place that’s built for the future and I’m excited to see what it will bring.
