Its foundations were used to build what is now a 2,400 square meter, high-security, eco-friendly data center.

As well as having a very secure building, DARZ is committed to maintaining high level of quality and security in terms of its data center infrastructure, and as it is situated in Germany, it is also subject to strict data protection regulations.
