Advantages of the windCORES-Colocation at a glance

Safe 

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

Sustainable 

We use exis­ting buil­dings, infra­struc­ture, fiber optics and 100% green elec­tri­city. Tha­t’s CO2-neu­tral and sim­ply smart.

Cost-effective 

Fair pri­cing, per­ma­nently sta­ble elec­tri­city price. Sim­ply favorable.

Professional and fast 

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

Flexible and scalable 

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