windCORES – sovereign infrastructure for international data centres

Decen­tra­li­sed infra­struc­ture for a sove­reign digi­tal future

wind­CORES builds data cen­tres directly within or adja­cent to wind tur­bi­nes and uti­li­ses exis­ting grid con­nec­tions, fibre-optic links and land. This crea­tes a dis­tri­bu­ted data centre land­scape that com­bi­nes sus­taina­bi­lity, relia­bi­lity and data sove­reig­nty, and pro­vi­des a high-per­for­mance alter­na­tive to cen­tra­li­sed hypers­ca­ler sites. 

High Power Density for HPC and AI Applications

We build our wind­CORES data cen­ters inside the towers of exis­ting wind tur­bi­nes. This allows us to uti­lize exis­ting struc­tures for a dis­tri­bu­ted and modu­lar architecture—perfect for com­pu­ta­tio­nally inten­sive yet sus­tainable com­pu­ting appli­ca­ti­ons. Addi­tio­nal advan­ta­ges of our wind­CORES include: 

• Quickly sca­lable
• Maxi­mum, direct power sup­ply
• Pro­prie­tary fiber-optic net­work enables high bandwidths

Unique in the world:
green Kubernetes

Dis­co­ver windCORES’s world’s most sus­tainable Kuber­netes ser­vice, desi­gned spe­ci­fi­cally for cloud-native appli­ca­ti­ons and con­tai­ne­riza­tion. By rely­ing exclu­si­vely on wind energy and uti­li­zing state-of-the-art tech­no­lo­gies, our ser­vice enables effi­ci­ent and seam­less sca­ling of your appli­ca­ti­ons while mini­mi­zing your car­bon footprint. 

Quickly scalable

Fle­xi­bi­lity and a high degree of sca­la­bi­lity are our strengths. We can respond quickly to all our cus­to­mers’ needs. By uti­li­sing exis­ting wind tur­bi­nes – where red­un­dant elec­tri­city and fibre-optic net­works are in place along­side the buil­ding – we save both our­sel­ves and our cus­to­mers a great deal of time and money. 

High bandwidths available immediately

With two red­un­dant fibre-optic links offe­ring speeds of up to 400 Gbit/​s, our wind­CORES data cen­tres achieve mini­mal latency despite their decen­tra­li­sed locations.

Green Cloud and Colocation Services

Take advan­tage of our relia­ble, secure, green cloud plat­form and boost your effi­ci­ency in a sus­tainable way. Our solu­ti­ons range from Vir­tual-as-a-Ser­vice to Plat­form-as-a-Ser­vice. Our wind­CORES offer ever­y­thing you need to scale your busi­ness appli­ca­ti­ons and pro­vide ample com­pu­ting power for machine lear­ning and AI. 

In addi­tion, our colo­ca­tion and direct-con­nect ser­vices offer solu­ti­ons that enable you to secu­rely house your infra­struc­ture in our wind farms.

Maximum power supply directly from the wind turbine

Our wind­CORES are sup­plied directly with elec­tri­city from the top of the wind tur­bine nacelle. This enables grea­ter energy effi­ci­ency due to the short distances invol­ved and the redu­ced num­ber of vol­tage conversions. 

Working with the scientific community to shape the future

Our exper­tise is in high demand. Through our wind­CORES, we are actively invol­ved in various natio­nal and inter­na­tio­nal rese­arch projects. 

Data Security

Your data is in the best hands with us at our sus­tainable data cen­ter. Our data cen­ters are built to the Tier III/VK-TÜV stan­dard. ISO 27001 cer­ti­fi­ca­tion and the tower’s 30-cen­ti­me­ter-thick rein­forced con­crete walls pro­tect what mat­ters most to your cus­to­mers: your data. 

Economic

Fair pri­cing, con­sis­t­ently sta­ble elec­tri­city rates. Sim­ply affordable. 

Commitment to Renewable Energy 

As part of the West­fa­len­WIND Group based in Pader­born, we have been dri­ving the energy tran­si­tion for­ward for many years through wind power and pho­to­vol­taics. This fun­da­men­tal idea gave rise to wind­CORES: wind tur­bi­nes are also being trans­for­med into car­bon-neu­tral data cen­tres. This con­cept is uni­que worldwide. 

CO2 Reduc­tion Potential
0 kg

With our sus­tainable data cen­ter, you avoid over 400 gram sof CO2 for every kilo­watt-hour of elec­tri­city. This means that with just one rack (with an average power con­sump­tion of 3 kW), yousave 14 metric ton­sof CO2 annu­ally.

Genuine Green Electricity from WestfalenWIND

If you choose our sus­tainable data cen­ter, you might also be inte­res­ted in genuine green elec­tri­city. You’re in luck: wind­CORES is a brand of the West­fa­len­WIND Group, which ope­ra­tes wind farms and sells green elec­tri­city. Feel free to request a no-obli­ga­tion quote.

“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.”
