Hanover data centre
Three availability zones, one location
DE01 is our main location: two data centres with colocation and cloud, geo-redundantly complemented by Wolfsburg and Frankfurt. For system houses, MSPs and companies with their own hardware.
What sets the location apart
Three zones in one city
VZ-A, VZ-B and VZ-C each have their own supply.
Geo-redundant as far as Frankfurt
Wolfsburg is more than 80 km away, Frankfurt more than 250 km.
Colocation and cloud on site
Your hardware and our cloud run at the same location.
Two data centres on the backbone ring
In Hanover, the north–south and east–west axes of the German backbone ring cross. Our two data centres are built on this ring and networked directly with each other.
Together they form three availability zones, each with its own supply. That lets you distribute critical systems across independent zones without leaving the city.
