Frankfurt, Germany stands as a cornerstone of the European and global data center economy, offering unparalleled connectivity, infrastructure, and operational excellence. As the primary Internet Exchange point in continental Europe, Frankfurt is home to DE-CIX—the world’s largest internet exchange—making it a strategic hub for multinational corporation networks, cloud providers, and hyperscale deployments. The city’s dense concentration of data centers and cutting-edge colocation facilities has attracted enterprises from across the globe looking for reliable Data Center Operations and rapid scaling options. Our team in Frankfurt has developed a deep understanding of the region’s stringent regulatory requirements, energy efficiency standards, and evolving hardware troubleshooting needs, providing business-critical support to tenants in this highly competitive market.
Frankfurt's data center ecosystem is robust, boasting over 60 colocation and hyperscale facilities as of mid-2023, with continuous new developments underway. Connectivity is truly world-class—DE-CIX connects more than 1,000 network operators, ISPs, and content providers, exchanging multiple terabits of data per second. The city’s data centers serve as the backbone for key industries including cloud services, CDN (Content Delivery Networks), fintech, banking, and enterprise IT, supporting mission-critical workloads through advanced field engineers and specialist Smart Hands services. The region also continues to attract major international cloud platforms, further strengthening Frankfurt’s reputation as a linchpin for IT and digital infrastructure across Europe.
