We’re talking about a state-of-the-art facility right on the German-French border.
This strategic location doesn’t just cater to customers in Germany or France; it offers excellent connectivity for the entire continent.
A Powerhouse of Infrastructure
This new data center is a marvel of engineering.
It’s comprised of seven buildings with a combined capacity of 12 MW capable of housing around 50000 servers!
Each building is built with redundancy in mind featuring two separate fiber optic lines and two distinct power lines from two different providers.
On top of that we’ve got diesel generators and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) on-site ensuring backup power in the highly unlikely event of a power outage.
And we’ve conducted a thorough analysis of potential natural disaster impacts to safeguard the data center from such events.
Sustainability: A Top Priority
Sustainability is at the heart of this project.
By installing solar panels on all roofs and utilizing free air cooling we’re aiming for a PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) value of 1.1 making this one of the most energy-efficient data centers in the region.
And to top it off the new location will be powered entirely by green energy.
Construction is Underway!
We’ve secured all the necessary permits and the earthworks are already underway.
We’ve also pre-ordered key elements with long lead times like diesel generators and core routers.
We expect to start serving customers from this new data center in 2024. In the meantime keep an eye on our Twitter LinkedIn and Facebook pages for regular updates on the construction progress.
Celebrate with Us: Extra Storage for Everyone!
With all this extra space we’re throwing a party! To celebrate the launch we’re giving away extra storage space with every VPS purchase! Plus we’ve reduced the price of additional storage for our VDS and dedicated server offerings.
This is a limited-time offer so grab your action-packed VPS VDS or dedicated server and join the celebration while it lasts!
Digging Deeper into Contabo’s New European Data Center
Location: A Strategic Choice
The strategic location on the German-French border was chosen for a variety of reasons:
- Centralized Connectivity: It provides optimal connectivity to customers throughout Europe minimizing latency and ensuring efficient data transfer.
- Proximity to Major Fiber Optic Hubs: The region is a major hub for fiber optic infrastructure offering high-speed internet connections and reliable network connectivity.
- Access to a Skilled Workforce: The area boasts a skilled workforce in the IT sector ensuring access to qualified personnel for maintenance and operations.
Cutting-Edge Technology: More than Just Servers
This data center isn’t just about housing servers; it’s about providing a secure and efficient platform for businesses of all sizes.
Here’s a closer look at the technology behind the scenes:
- Redundant Power Systems: The two separate power lines from two distinct providers along with the diesel generators and UPS systems create a multi-layered backup power system minimizing downtime and ensuring data integrity.
- Advanced Cooling Systems: Utilizing free air cooling and solar-powered roofing minimizes energy consumption and reduces environmental impact.
- Security Features: From comprehensive physical security measures to advanced cybersecurity protocols the data center is designed to keep your data safe and secure.
Why a PUE of 1.1 Matters
PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) is a critical metric for data center efficiency.
It measures the amount of energy consumed by the data center compared to the amount of energy used by the IT equipment itself.
A PUE of 1.1 is incredibly low meaning the data center is highly efficient and uses minimal energy for cooling and other non-IT operations.
This significantly reduces energy costs and lowers the environmental footprint of the data center.
The Impact of This New Data Center: A European Boost
This investment in a new data center in Europe signals Contabo’s commitment to providing its customers with reliable scalable and sustainable infrastructure.
It’s also a testament to the company’s confidence in the growth of the European market.
Here are a few key benefits this new data center brings to the table:
- Expanded Capacity: The increased server capacity addresses the growing demand for cloud services in Europe. This means more businesses can access the high-quality affordable hosting services Contabo is known for.
- Enhanced Performance: With its strategic location and state-of-the-art infrastructure the new data center offers superior network performance and lower latency for customers across the continent.
- Increased Reliability: The redundant power systems and advanced security features ensure a high level of reliability minimizing downtime and protecting data integrity.
- Environmental Responsibility: The commitment to sustainable practices through solar panels and energy-efficient cooling systems reflects Contabo’s dedication to environmental responsibility.
This new data center is more than just a building; it’s a symbol of Contabo’s dedication to providing its customers with the best possible experience.
It’s a statement of the company’s commitment to European markets and its vision for the future of cloud computing.
