Data centers in Düsseldorf
At the main location of myLoc managed IT in Düsseldorf, seven data centres with over 3,500 m² of data centre space are used for a wide range of applications. At Gatherhof 44, 40472 Düsseldorf, there are seven data centres. The DUS5 data centre is located in the southern part of Düsseldorf, In der Steele 2, 40599.
The size of the data centres varies from 77 m² and 48 racks (DUS5) to 600 m² and over 250 racks. What all units have in common is the secure infrastructure: in order to maximise reliability, all data centres are operated independently of each other so that damage is kept to a minimum in the event of infrastructure disruptions. An additional point of protection is the world's largest Lampertz security cell (LSR18.6 design), which optimally protects sensitive systems with critical data from major customers such as banks and insurance companies from external influences.
A special feature is the myLoc Data Centre DUS1, which has its own combined heat and power plant for local power and air conditioning supply. It is by far the largest data centre with a data centre area of 950 m² and 386 racks.
Tier IV: First-class 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
