NTT Com announced that its "Germany Munich 2 Data Center" (Munich 2) has opened, effective immediately, in Unterschleißheim, a suburb of Munich, Germany located 16km from the city center.
NTT Com said the facility is under the management of e-shelter, a NTT Com company and leading data center operator and service provider in Europe.
The two-story Munich 2 initially is offering 2,800 square meters of server space, equivalent to 1,100 racks, which is expected to expand to 5,600 square meters. The facility is operating under NTT Com's Nexcenter brand, which encompasses 24/7 data-center services in more than 140 bases worldwide.
e-shelter, which is known as "home to the cloud," was joined by customers, partners, media and civic leaders to celebrate the opening of its second data center in Munich.
Munich 2, the latest example of e-shelter's ongoing growth, follows the mid-April launch of the highly anticipated e-shelter innovation lab in Frankfurt. e-shelter expects to open additional data centers in Europe this year.
Munich 2 delivers data-center services based on more than 300 globally unified standards that Nexcenter facilities have implemented for equipment and operations.
