Our history

Digitization… plays an increasingly important role in our lives. More and more services are shifting to a digital environment. Cloud computing helps us in accessing our data from anywhere in the world. Almost every company has its own online presence, which is often an integral part of the business model. However, such a digital society only works if we can rely on the permanent availability of the IT infrastructure.

For this reason, our goal is to provide clients with the best level of security so that services can withstand even the highest demands while being available around the clock. It is our greatest interest to always be available for our customers with advice and support when they need us. For us, excellent service is one of the responsibilities of a data center operator. The well-being of our clients is at the center of all of our decisions.

At the same time, we are aware that an electricity-intensive business such as ours, must make an active contribution to environmental protection. Our carbon footprint is a criterion in all strategic decisions. Through innovation, we do our very best to reduce our energy consumption to a minimum.

First Colo is a modern, service-oriented IT service provider with high competence in the areas of servers and networking. Our company has been successful in the market for over ten years and has been growing rapidly from the very start. Our strengths are unlimited flexibility, unconditional customer orientation, and the consistent use of state-of-the-art technologies.

A short retrospect: In 2004, the company Digitallabs Network GmbH was founded by Martin Verges. The company successfully offered hosting and housing products, thereby developing a solid customer base. In order to cope with the ever-increasing administration work, and also to correspondingly expand the product range, the company was renamed First Colo GmbH at the end of 2007. At the beginning of 2011, the data center was opened in the Accent Office Center. In 2016 First Colo GmbH merged with Accelerated IT Services & Consulting GmbH under the parent company diva-e (www.diva-e.com). Since then, First Colo has established two data centers in Frankfurt am Main (Accent Office Center and Werkhaus) – marking a new entrepreneurial era for us.
