Although the old and new data centers are only 15 kilometers apart, the staff involved in the move covered more than 2,000 kilometers. At Noris, we will continue operating our equipment completely on our own without any third-party access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When selecting a colocation partner, as always, we paid a great deal of attention to the security and availability of the facility. For the high-security data center in Aschheim<\/a>, opened in 2017, noris network received the German Data Center Award. MUC5 is a DE-CIX Premium Enabled Site and needless to say it fulfills the very highest security and compliance requirements. Boasting 11,000 square meters of total floor space and an IT area of 8,700 square meters following its expansion in 2019, MUC5 is one of the 10 largest data center facilities in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another very important aspect for Retarus was the environmental footprint. Noris is powered exclusively by renewable energy and thanks to cutting-edge modern Kyoto-Cooling technology, the facility manages to get through 90% of the year without resorting to mechanical compressors for cooling. If you\u2019re interested in taking a closer look at the state-of-the-art data center, this virtual tour provides a 360\u00b0 view inside the facility:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
