Colocation in Germany

Secure Data Center Space for Your Business-Critical IT

GRASS-MERKUR has been operating its own ISO 27001-certified high-security data center in Hanover since 1971 and provides colocation, cloud and managed services — all from a single source.

Colocation Services

Your IT Infrastructure in Safe Hands

Today, digital business models are placing ever-greater demands on companies in terms of the availability, security and performance of their IT infrastructure. At the same time, regulatory requirements such as NIS2, DORA and sector-specific compliance requirements are constantly increasing.

With GRASS-MERKUR’s colocation services, you gain access to a highly available, certified and future-proof infrastructure without having to invest in the construction or operation of your own data center.

Whether you need individual servers, complete rack systems or high-performance, high-density infrastructures — we offer you exactly the environment your applications require.

You will benefit from over three decades of data center expertise, personal support and an infrastructure that is consistently designed with security, digital sovereignty and long-term scalability in mind.

Colocation

More Than Just Rackspace

Many companies associate colocation solely with renting a server rack. In fact, modern colocation encompasses much more than that.

It provides companies with a professional data center infrastructure in which their own hardware is operated under optimal conditions.

You retain full control over your systems and data at all times, while benefiting from an infrastructure that meets the highest professional standards.

For small and medium-sized enterprises in particular, colocation often represents the most cost-effective alternative to running their own server room.

GRASS-MERKUR handles all infrastructure-related tasks

  • Power supply
  • Air conditioning

  • Physical security

Protected on All Sides

The Highest Security Standards

Security does not end at the firewall.

In addition to state-of-the-art cyber security concepts, the physical security of a data center plays a particularly crucial role.

Our security measures include, among others:

  • Multi-level access controls
  • Video surveillance
  • Alarm systems
  • Early fire detection
  • Fire-extinguishing systems
  • 24/7 monitoring
  • Separate security zones

This ensures that your infrastructure is reliably protected against unauthorized access.

Made in Germany

Digital Sovereignty

More and more companies are keen to ensure that their data does not leave Germany.

With GRASS-MERKUR, your data remains in a German data center and is subject exclusively to German and European data protection law.

This provides long-term investment security, particularly in light of NIS2, KRITIS, DORA and sector-specific compliance requirements.

Adaptable

Flexible Scaling

IT requirements are constantly changing.

That is why our colocation solutions grow with your business.

Whether it is a single rack, several rows of racks or tailored data center space — our infrastructure can be flexibly expanded at any time.

Future requirements such as GPU clusters, AI systems or high-performance computing can also be integrated without any problems.

Service & Support

Personal Support Instead of a Call Center

Technology is important. But the people behind it are even more important.

At GRASS-MERKUR you have dedicated contacts, short decision-making paths and direct access to our technical experts.

Instead of standardized helpline processes, we work with you to develop tailored solutions for your infrastructure.

This personal approach is what deliberately sets us apart from many international hyperscalers.
