Digital Realty this week announced the opening of a new facility FRA18 at its Digital Park Fechenheim campus along Hanauer Landstrasse. The facility offers 8,200 square meters of colocation space, launching with an initial capacity of 6.4MW in its first phase, with an additional 9.6MW expected to come online in later phases.
“Our vision for Digital Park Fechenheim is innovation at every level,” said Volker Ludwig, SVP and managing director, DACH, at Digital Realty. “We are committed to preserving the historic significance of the site while delivering cutting-edge technology solutions that empower our customers and enhance data security.”
The colo firm said this is Germany’s first data center located in a historically preserved building, in the former Necerkmann headquarters. The building, complete with its signature staircases, balconies, and rainwater management system, remains intact, while former distribution floors have been transformed into data halls.
