The internet has gone from something that\u2019s \u201cnice to have\u201d to something that we need to have in our daily lives. We use the internet for school, work, shopping, and even socialising. This is why data centres in Frankfurt (and the rest of Europe) have become a booming business. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/beeksgroup.com\/network\/data-centres\/equinix-frankfurt-fr2\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn more about data centres<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Frankfurt is ideal for data centres<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frankfurt is the finance and business capital of Germany. The city has also made a place for itself in the data centre world by being the industry\u2019s lead destination for capital deployment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frankfurt\u2019s hosting firm mainly has clients in the manufacturing, commerce, banking, and financial industries. The reason for this is that Germany has become an international powerhouse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The data centre industry plays a crucial role in contributing to the local GDP. According to a Jaymie Scotto &amp; Associates (JSA) article, the city\u2019s utility firms and power grids had spent more than US$900 million to meet the requirements for data centres.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For this and other reasons, Frankfurt\u2019s data centre is booming. Below we go deeper into the different reasons why this city is perfect for data centres.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plenty of space\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other cities across Europe and even the United Kingdom have had to limit the number of data centres they can build, such as Amsterdam. London has also had to restrict the number of data centres it has because of limited real estate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike these cities, Frankfurt has fewer obstacles for data centre providers to overcome. The town has plenty of space for these data centres. Data centre providers can also benefit from the city\u2019s regulations and governance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But this could change if more and more data centres providers decide to move to Frankfurt. In Amsterdam, the city\u2019s power system struggled, which led to the city restricting any new developments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More data centres built in a city or region means less space will be available in the future. However, there\u2019s a good chance this will be in the far future. Today, Frankfurt is still Europe\u2019s leading data centre destination for data centre providers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High demand and booming business\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frankfurt has become Germany\u2019s financial and business capital, as we mentioned before. There are plenty of financial services companies based in Frankfurt. These include the German stock exchange, the German central bank, and the European Central Bank.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are also some international and local German bank offices and branches in Frankfurt. This is why Frankfurt has become one of the critical financial cities in Europe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With all these financial services based in Frankfurt, it means there is a high demand for data centres providers and their services. Cloud providers and large scale companies look for cities and regions where there is a strong need for their business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The types of companies that need this type of wide-scale service are the financial and technology industry. As we\u2019ve mentioned before, Frankfurt has a booming financial sector.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because there are banks in Frankfurt, there is a whole system of technology firms and companies that need data centre services in the region. Data centres in Frankfurt can also assist other businesses based in Europe and even international companies who want to expand.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data sovereignty and the GDPR\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because many companies are looking to expand in Europe and there are already businesses that are based in cities like Frankfurt, there is a demand for large-scale services such as Software as a Service (SaaS) and Cloud Services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plenty of companies will need to upgrade their infrastructure to meet the needs of other companies. These companies are most likely looking to improve their infrastructure in Frankfurt because of the strict data laws in Europe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data sovereignty in Europe will ensure that the data stored in these centres won\u2019t cross any borders or be kept in the original country outside of Europe. Simply put, this means that any non-European country that wants to expand in the region will need to build data centres locally to provide services locally. These companies also won\u2019t transfer and store data outside of Europe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Germany, the country\u2019s data protection laws require that the organisation only store any German citizens\u2019 information in the country. This law means that there is a higher demand for data centres in the region.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deep connectivity\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The city of Frankfurt hosts the German Internet Exchange (DE-CIX). The DE-CIX is the most significant carrier and data centre-neutral internet exchange point. In Frankfurt, more than eight terabits per second go through the Internet Exchange.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is vital for large companies that will need to store different components of a service or application or client information in various data centres. Fast and efficient internet has become necessary for today\u2019s online business and advanced applications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which companies are expanding in Germany?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are plenty of companies that are looking to expand in Europe. The leading companies include the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colt Data Centre Services<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">China Mobile International (CMI)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CyrusOne<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Datacenter One\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital Realty\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Envia TEL<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Iron Mountain IO<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KeyWeb<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Noris Network<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vantage Data Centres<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Penta Infra<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NIT Global Centres<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NewTelco<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maincubes One\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NDC-GARBE Data Centres<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because Germany has an industrial and manufacturing economy, many data centre construction contractors and sub-contractors assist with Frankfurt\u2019s expansion. Some of these critical companies include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AECOM<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arup<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collen Construction<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DPR Construction<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ICT Facilities<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KLEINUNARCHITEKTEN<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lupp Group<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Max Bogl<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mercury Engineering<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">M+W Group (Exyte)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Royal HaskoningDHV<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">STS Group<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Winthrop Engineering\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zech Group<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Various other well-known companies are also looking to expand in Germany.

The earliest step for construction has been planned in Q2 in the year 2023, with the first phase of 9MW of its capacity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CyrusOne\u2019s managing director for Europe and EVP, Matt Pullen, explained that the company had had some success in Frankfurt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cCyrusOne has enjoyed remarkable success in the region, and the fifth site in Frankfurt signals our experience in this market and our capability to consistently deliver mission-critical capacity and capabilities that our customers have come to depend on,\u201d Pullen explained.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there is some doubt about whether or not Frankfurt will be able to keep up this pattern of growth and expansion. These doubts are amidst the possible new government restrictions placed on the data centre industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Associate Director at VIPA Digital, Tash Mehta, explained that the local restrictions and expensive entry costs could diminish the returns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhile the mature markets of Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Paris and Dublin continue to grow at pace, a high cost of entry and locational constraints such as access to power and network capacity can erode the returns when compared to emerging EMEA locations,\u201d Mehta explained.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Environmental concerns about data centres\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Despite the advantages of data centres for local and international businesses, there are still some environmental concerns regarding the industry. Data centres need a lot of space, which will not change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is also an increasing demand for cloud computing services from different sectors. This demand also increases the value of the market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The COVID-19 pandemic also seemed to speed up any online trends before the world went into lockdown. These trends included working from home and e-commerce. These trends have made it even more important to build data centres.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But because more data centres are being built, this means that there is an increase in global electricity use. The International Energy Agency found that data centres are responsible for 1% of international electricity usage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data centres also need to remain cool to keep working. When data centres overheat, they can completely shut down, resulting in disastrous results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data centres need enormous amounts of water to stay cool to prevent this from happening. This has led to companies such as Google and Amazon coming under scrutiny for using billions of gallons of water in the US.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In conclusion about data centres in Frankfurt\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frankfurt has become the leading destination for data centre providers. It has become a popular destination for data centre providers because the city has a high demand (from the financial and tech industry) for the service.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frankfurt also does not have some of the restrictions as other cities such as Amsterdam and London. These restrictions include limited space and limiting laws. For all the reasons that we\u2019ve mentioned above, Frankfurt\u2019s data centre industry is expanding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>References:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.datacenters.com\/germany\/frankfurt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.datacenters.com\/germany\/frankfurt<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.datacenters.com\/germany\/frankfurt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.jsa.net\/blog\/building-frankfurts-data-centres\/55388\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.datacenters.com\/germany\/frankfurt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/sustainability-innovations-take-center-stage-at-equinixs-new-munich-data-center-301475884.html<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.datacenters.com\/germany\/frankfurt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20220117005522\/en\/Hurricane-Electric-Expands-Global-Network-in-Frankfurt-with-New-Point-of-Presence-at-Maincubes-FRA01-Data-Center<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.datacenters.com\/germany\/frankfurt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/europe-is-seeing-a-data-center-boom-but-can-the-environment-sustain-it\/a-59139118<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.datacenters.com\/germany\/frankfurt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/blog.vantage-dc.com\/2020\/03\/26\/why-frankfurt-is-europes-hottest-data-center-market\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.datacenters.com\/germany\/frankfurt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/blog.equinix.com\/blog\/2017\/06\/29\/6-interesting-facts-about-the-new-equinix-datacenter-in-frankfurt\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.datacenters.com\/germany\/frankfurt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.equinix.com\/newsroom\/press-releases\/2021\/01\/equinix-joins-european-cloud-and-data-center-providers-to-make-historic-pledge-towards-climate-neutrality-by-2030?ls=Public%2520Relations&amp;lsd=21q3__digital-infrastructure+__pr-equinix_pr-newswire_press-release__us-en_AMER_FR8_awareness&amp;utm_campaign=us-en__press-release_FR8_pr-equinix_awareness&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_medium=press-release&amp;utm_content=digital-infrastructure+_<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Let\u2019s be honest.
