The larger a data center is, the more fail-safe and energy-efficient it can be operated.
Good for our customers: EMC Home of Data operates one of Bavaria's largest and most modern data centers in Munich, which houses the regional MuCon-X connectivity and cloud for the D-A-CH region.
We thus provide robust environments that offer enormous performance with maximum availability and high cost efficiency. A central nervous system (DCIM) monitors and controls all components of the data center campus using thousands of sensors and measuring points. This allows failure risks to be detected at an early stage, so that thanks to the existing redundancies, there is little or no impact in the event of a malfunction.
The stability and efficiency of our data center is clearly reflected in the figures:
Campus availability 99.9995% p.a., PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) below 1.20. Green electricity share: 100%.
Our “High 5” for high availability
- Power supply
- Air conditioning
- Fire protection
- Security
- Redundancy

“The power supply at EMC Home of Data is particularly impressive thanks to its logical and stringent design.”
H. Gschwandner, HPE GmbH
Climate Control
The high energy requirements of modern data centers necessitate permanent, standard-compliant cooling. EMC Home of Data's cooling concepts begin with the type of building structure and also include emergency cooling systems.
- Redundant cooling network to supply the server rooms and technical areas
- Cooling units protected from view and access at a height of approx. 30 m on the campus roof
- Redundant designs with PPUE < 1.18 (Partial Power Usage Effectiveness)
- Cooling units in the server rooms and network pumps are mostly UPS-buffered and designed in accordance with DIN EN 50600
- Adiabatic and emergency cooling systems provide additional safeguards and efficiency measures.

Fire Protection
In a data center, fires can have fatal consequences and lead to the failure of entire infrastructures. That is why fire protection is a particularly high priority at EMC Home of Data.
- Over 10 completely separate fire protection and extinguishing areas, with self-sufficient gas extinguishing systems
- Comprehensive fire alarm network, with highly sensitive devices for early detection (VESDA)
- Design in accordance with DIN EN 50600 and VdS
- Daily safety inspections and quarterly maintenance
- Entire system connected to the fire department
You are welcome to request our detailed description of the Data Center Munich I with further details.
“No one ever wants to experience it, but we must always be prepared for a fire.”
W. Steinbach, CEO of Steinbach
Building Safety
Our DC campus is located in the north of Munich, in a traffic-calmed zone of an industrial park. There is no risk of earthquakes or flooding in the region. The building is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
- Solid reinforced concrete construction, largely windowless
- No underground excavations
- Video-monitored fencing
- Security zones in accordance with DIN EN 50600 in class SK4
- All data center areas secured with biometric access control, video surveillance, and access control systems
Only authorized access or access after registration is permitted, including complete logging. At the customer's request, racks can be connected to our centrally administered electronic rack locking system.
“What we really appreciate is that EMC Home of Data has enabled us to incorporate our own monitoring mechanisms. We are not just a number here; we are an individual customer.”
A. Wilson, Managing Director, transnet internet services GmbH
