History
Our progression to an efficient data centre operator.
Motivation
The internet is playing an increasingly important role in our lives. More and more services are shifting to the net. With cloud computing, we can access our data from anywhere in the world. Almost every company has its own internet presence, which often even becomes an integral part of the business model. However, the digital society can only operate properly if we can count on the permanent availability of the IT infrastructure.
Vision
That is why we have made it our goal to offer our customers complete security, in order to ensure that services can withstand even the highest loads effortlessly and are available around the clock. It is our greatest concern to always be available for our customers when they need us and to support them at all times. For us, excellent service is one of the duties of a data centre operator. The well-being of the customer is at the centre of every decision we make.
Environmental awareness
At the same time, we are aware that an electricity-intensive company like us must make an active contribution to environmental protection. We include our CO² balance in all strategic decisions and do everything we can to reduce our energy consumption as much as possible through innovations.
