Contabo GmbH

Contabo's Hub Europe, located in Lauterbourg, France, is a new data center designed to support extensive cloud needs. The facility spans 25,600 square meters and is planned to house up to six buildings with a total IT load of 9.6 MW, capable of hosting up to 50,000 physical servers.

Designed for high reliability, Hub Europe features N+1 redundancy, aiming for a yearly availability of minimum 99.982%, meeting Tier 3 data center standards. Each building is independently connected to the power grid and internet, with separate cooling systems and secondary power including UPS and diesel generators.

The data center boasts premium connectivity with two fiber optic lines to different internet exchange points and two redundant 100 Gigabit uplink providers, ensuring continuous internet access and excellent latency across Europe.

Hub Europe utilizes a direct-free-cooling system, leveraging outside air for cooling for 6-8 months annually, significantly reducing energy consumption by up to 60%. This efficiency contributes to a design Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.168, making it one of Europe's most energy-efficient data centers. The facility is powered by 100% carbon-free energy, supplemented by photovoltaic panels.

Safety is a priority, with measures against natural disasters, including fire protection and flood resilience. Physical security measures are also in place. Building 1 is operational, with Buildings 2 and 3 scheduled for completion in 2025.
