In addition to the WIIT AG headquarters, Düsseldorf is home to a total of seven data centers with over 3,500 m² of data center space for a wide range of applications.

Six data centers are located at Gatherhof 44, 40472 Düsseldorf.

The DUS5 data center is located in the southern part of Düsseldorf, In der Steele 2, 40599.

Security & performanceIngenious infrastructure

The data centers vary in size, from 77 m² and 48 racks (DUS5) to 600 m² and more than 250 racks. What all units have in common is a secure infrastructure: to maximize reliability, all data centers are operated independently of each other to minimize damage in the event of infrastructure disruptions. Additional protection is provided by the world’s largest Lampertz security cell (LSR18.6 design), which optimally protects sensitive systems and critical data of major customers such as banks and insurance companies from external influences.

The WIIT Data Center DUS1 is characterized by its own combined heat and power plant for local power and air conditioning supply. With a data center area of 950 m² and 386 racks, it is by far the largest data center.

First-class data centerTier IV data center DUS2

Availability and redundancy are the main criteria for the assessment of data centers in the Tier I-IV certification levels. The Düsseldorf data center DUS2 was certified as the first Tier IV data center in October 2023. This means that the following criteria are met

  • Zero single point of failure: complete redundancy through dual supply systems
  • 99.995% availability and therefore “highly available”
  • Maximum downtime per year is approx. 25 minutes
  • 96 hours power failure protection
