Win­ner of the 2026 Ger­man Sus­taina­bi­lity Award

With windCORES, we’re taking wind power to the next level—and in doing so, we’re also paving the way for a sustainable, digital future. 

Als Teil der Unter­neh­mens­gruppe West­fa­len­WIND trei­ben wir seit vie­len Jah­ren die Ener­gie­wende mit Wind­kraft und Pho­to­vol­taik voran. Ergän­zend dazu ist aus die­ser Grund­idee wind­CORES ent­stan­den. Aus Wind­ener­gie­an­la­gen wer­den CO2-neu­trale Dat­a­cen­ter. Das ist welt­weit einzigartig.

Sure

Data secu­rity from Ger­many. Pro­tec­ted by rein­forced con­crete and red­un­dancy. So, abso­lut­ely certain.

Sustainable

We use exis­ting buil­dings, infra­struc­ture, fiber-optic cables, and 100% green elec­tri­city. It’scar­bon-neu­tral —and sim­ply smart.

Economic

Fair pri­cing, con­sis­t­ently sta­ble elec­tri­city rates. Sim­ply affordable. 

Flexible and scalable

From simple web ser­vers to com­plex vir­tual machi­nes in the cloud. In the colo­ca­tion sec­tor, cus­to­mers can house their hard­ware in spe­ci­fic height units or even entire racks. 

Professional and fast

Direct con­nec­tion to the Inter­net exch­ange in Frank­furt with speeds of up to 400 Gbit/​s via red­un­dant lines: 3.5 ms latency—it does­n’t get any fas­ter than that.

windCORES – For Your Company’s Green Future

With our cloud and colo­ca­tion solu­ti­ons, we’ll prepare your IT infra­struc­ture for a cli­mate-neu­tral future.

CO2 Reduc­tion Potential
0 kg

With our wind­CORES, you save over 400 gramsof CO2 for every kWh of electricity—which, for just one rack with an average power con­sump­tion of 3 kW, amounts to annualCO2 savings of appro­xi­m­ately 14 metric tons.

“Our part­ner­ship with wind­CORES hits the nerve of the times:

As an IT ser­vice pro­vi­der, we want to estab­lish sus­tainable IT solu­ti­ons throug­hout Ger­many. For us, it is natu­ral and the only right way to inte­grate rene­wa­ble ener­gies into our con­cepts. The idea of Wind­cores sup­ports our green approach, is extre­mely inno­va­tive and for­ward-loo­king. Tog­e­ther we offer our cus­to­mers the per­fect Green IT Cloud. It does­n’t get any gree­ner than this.”

aixit

With aixit, we have found a part­ner that has accu­mu­la­ted over 20 years of know­ledge and exper­tise as a data centre ser­vice pro­vi­der in the areas of cloud and ser­vices, colo­ca­tion, housing, hos­ting & sto­rage, secu­rity, con­nec­ti­vity and DDos pro­tec­tion. Tog­e­ther with wind­CORES, aixit – which is one of the lea­ding com­pa­nies in Ger­many – wants to shape the digi­tal mar­ket in an incre­asingly sus­tainable way.

The claim of aixit GmbH is to look for opti­mal solu­ti­ons for the ope­ra­tion of infra­struc­ture for its cus­to­mers, be it ser­ver housing in the data cen­ter, giga­bit con­nec­tion of offices or DDoS pro­tec­tion of indi­vi­dual pro­jects. With wind­CORES, the cus­to­mer’s wish for more cli­mate neu­tra­lity is now also served.

“Zat­too streams cli­mate neu­trally. The idea of brin­ging com­pu­ting capa­city clo­ser to energy pro­duc­tion and ther­eby tap­ping into both unu­sed space and coo­ling the­r­e­fore imme­dia­tely exci­ted us. It is as simple as it is inge­nious. A real suc­cess model that we hope will set a precedent.”
